IPhone 5 has finally been launched in India on 2nd November 2012. Ofcourse it is a masterpiece of a phone. But the cost is whopping. I read a newspaper ad of Vijay sales in mumbai selling iPhones at these costs
16 Gb at 45,000
It is shocking because you can't expand this memory. 16 GB would be used up in a month for a phone addict. The iphone price has come a s a real shocker to me. Well, all I have is a micromax A70 with all its disadvantages and the occasional advantage, but atleast dude I am so happy. Tleast I have not wasted money.
But anyway, whoever is a big fan of iphone 5 should surely use up all their saved money and get it asap. I've heard it is magical :)
Siri is a new app that will be included with the iPhone 4S. This app is a wonderful new method that will enable you to actually 'talk' to your iphone.
Does it sound familiar? Are you thinking that androids have speech recognition since one year. So what's new with iPhone's Siri. Well, a helluva lot! Siri is AI - Artificial Intelligence while Android (they are awesome nonetheless) is just a software. So an AI system actually understands the 'context' while to an Android, specific clear instructions have to be given. You can tell Siri..'Whats the time in Newzealand'..Siri tells you the time..and you can continue saying..What about London'..Siri understands the context and replies with the time in London.
Siri can take action based on what you say, and isn’t limited to a small set of specific keywords to do what you ask.
How Does Siri Work?
Watch the following video to grasp what and how Siri could make a difference to your life.
Did you notice that the man says 'My Wife' and Siri actually connects to her. Ain't Siri amazing?
What all Can be done by Siri?
Siri can at present control many of the apps in your iPhone like the reminders, alarms, text, call, video, timers etc.
A compilation 0f some of Siri's capabilities.
Ask for a Reminder – At a specific time or place
Ask to play a playlist
Ask or the weather
Ask about your stocks
Ask for information – Like a restaurant
Ask to schedule a meeting
Ask to send an email
Ask to send a text
Ask to set an alarm
Ask for directions
Ask to set a timer
Ask about Siri
Ask for someone’s number
All these small actions are actually time consuming and often used. Siri quickens up the whole process for you. Siri is Smart!
One more video of Siri for iphone 4s to help you grasp its significance.
