Apple announced that as part of iOS 6, Siri will be available on the iPad in addition to the iPhone. It’s part of a larger update to Siri, allowing the voice-controlled app to now do everything from launch apps to report the batting average of your favorite baseball players. Apple’s Scott Forstall mentioned that Siri was coming to “the new iPad,” so it sounds like older iPad owners might need to upgrade to get all the new features.
The service is now ( in iOS 6 ) able to answer a variety of sports related questions, from scores and stats to game times, and it’s added both Yelp and Rotten Tomatoes to its bag of tricks for dining and movie recommendations.

What’s more, Siri will now also let you launch apps if you’re tired of tapping through folders, and Apple is finally expanding Siri’s local search functionality from just the US to no less than 60 difference countries.
