I agree that it is a little strange to be talking to your phone as you walk down the street, but in other cases it is really useful. Siri's voice recognition is so good that many times it is faster than the alternative. It's much easier to say "Remind me to call John at 3pm" and have Siri automatically create the reminder and alarm than it is to go through the steps to manually add the item to your calendar. As this technology becomes more and more prevalent the social acceptance of it may go up as well. Not sure if that is a good or bad thing though — instead of having millions of people walking around looking at their phone and typing, we'd have millions walking around barking orders into it.
