This is really handy: start a list called “Grocery” in the “Reminders” app, and then share it with your shopping partner’s iCloud account on iCloud.com.
Boom: Shared grocery list, voice controlled. When you get the the grocery store, just say “Show me my grocery list” and Siri will pull it up for you.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Get iOS 5 installed on both phones, and set up iCloud with Reminders syncing turned ON.
2. On one of the phones, tap the Lists icon in the upper left corner of the Reminders app. Tap “Edit” in the upper right corner.
3. Add a new list called “Grocery” (if you’re using Siri, it’s better that it’s “Grocery” singular, and not “Groceries” plural, for better sentence flow).
4. Log in to the iCloud.com account for this phone.
5. Go to Calendar.
6. Click the “share” button (looks like an RSS icon) next to the “Grocery” list you created.
7. Enter the iCloud ID of the person you want to share it with.
8. Have them confirm the e-mail they get.
Many people don’t know this but many app developers enable their apps to be opened from other apps or the web using whats called iPhone URL schemes. For example, go into safari and type in the URL box fb:// and hit return. It opens the Facebook app on the iPhone. Or try twitter:// or IMDB:// and you will see it open those apps on your phone directly. I thought this could be potentially useful using Siri in the following way.
1) Create a Contact in your address book and call it Shortcuts (I called it applications, apps is a reserved siri word).
2) Create multiple text fields (home page fields) with these Url schemes. Then you can tell Siri - “Show Shortcuts” and it will pull up that contact sheet and list all the URL shortcuts which can be clicked on.
Now, doing this just to open an App is probably not useful, but the iPhone URL schemes also support advanced functions in apps which I think could save time. For example, if your enter into a text field: fb://birthdays it will take you directly to the Facebook birthdays page within your Facebook app. Or try fb://albums and you go right to facebook photo albums. Unfortunately, these enhanced URL schemes are hard to find but i figured if people knew about them, the experimenting can begin.
Here is a link to a partial list of known iPhone URL Schemes: http://wiki.akosma.com/IPhone_URL_Schemes
