One thing I like and didn't realize is that after I issue a request to Siri, I and the request has been acted upon, I can just double tap, I don't need to locate the Listen Button, perhaps it's there by default, and I can issue another request. More efficient than hitting the Home button and re-activating Siri. Perhaps this was available in IOS5, but I wasn't aware of it.
