Pretty cool rumour about the iPhone 5 and voice control:

For example, a user could say "remind me to buy milk when I arrive at the market." Another example would be integration with the iOS Maps application. A user could ask: "how do I get to Staples Center?" and Assistant will use the user's current location via GPS and provide directions.

Finally, there's Wolfram Alpha baked into Assistant. Wolfram Alpha is the equivalent of an extremely nerdy, always-right friend who knows everything. And now Assistant is that genius friend. Ask your iPhone for the GDP of Libya: it'll tell you. Ask your iPhone how many feet from the Earth Jupiter is. It'll tell you.

Voice is something that Android has done so much better than iPhone, so I'm really hoping this is true. Great for a hands-free solution while driving too (not that I'd ever use it for that because doing anything while driving except focusing on driving is very very bad... I just thought I'd point it out).
