Apple’s first real iPhone 4S ad hit the airwaves last night, and focuses in on the iPhone 4S’ defining and most tangible feature — the Siri Voice Assistant.

iPhone 4S commercial Siri WeaselIn the video, we see actors using Siri to perform a number of tasks such as,

  • Get help with a flat tire
  • Learning how to tie a bow tie
  • Finding Directions to a nearby hospital
  • Finding the weather in a city
  • Reminding to do something at a specific location
  • Finding out what something looks like (and getting a real picture)
  • Setting an alarm
  • Finding a locksmith
  • Playing music by Artist name

The cool part about this commercial is that these tasks really work. You can even go a step further by using nicknames for locations and contacts.
