Great idea and concept but does it really save any time. In my opinion it is easier just to go to my app to see the score for the game then to have to launch Siri then proceed to ask her about the score.
I've played with it quite a bit in the beta for iOS 6, and it makes a HUGE difference now that it has Canadian location-aware content.

"What's playing tonight?" Gives me the showtimes for whichever theater I'm closest to. "Show me some reviews for..." does exactly what it sounds like. I mean, sure I can click on Flixter and select my theater, and have access to the same info, but "What's playing tonight?" is a lot faster and more intuitive.

"Where can I get a coffee?" is great too. Same with, "What's to eat around here?" or "Where's the drug store?" etc etc.

Edit: One of my favourite things to ask during the playoffs was, "What's the score in the Kings' game?"

(This level of interaction is coming with iOS 6, so it won't work if you're trying it now.)
