iPad Tip 54 - What's That Song

Siri now integrates with the music-recognition service Shazam. It can listen to music playing around you and tell you what the song is - great when a good song plays during a commercial or TV show, or in the car. To find out what the song is, ask Siri, “What’s playing?” The phone will listen for a bit and then, in most cases, say and display the name of the song and artist, including a link to buy it from iTunes.

iPad Tip 53 - Hey Siri

Talk To Siri Hands-Free
Holding down the home button to reach Apple’s built-in voice assistant, Siri, is so last version. In the Siri menu under general settings, there’s an option to turn on “Hey Siri.” Then, instead of holding down the home button, you can just say “Hey Siri” and ask your question, set your reminder or start a text message or phone call. Note: this feature works only when the phone is plugged in.
