If Siri releases an API for Siri this could revolutionize language instruction. Siri is the voice command ability for the iPhone 4S.  How Siri is different is it gives a natural language understanding.

What I see is instead of the traditional textbook, all of a sudden you could have a voice interactive teaching of a foreign language. I see this as a game change for foreign language instruction.
