The new version introduces some very limited, but still quite useful voice recognition functionality.
Of course it is not Siri by any stretch of imagination, but being Siri has never been the purpose. The new controls improve the usability as you can say thisngs like:
What is my horoscope?
What is the weather outside?
Tell me the stock quotes.
Tell me a joke.
...and a few more.
Give it a try, it's fun to use.
