5 Uses For Siri, the iPhone 4S' New Personal Assistant

http://www.geeksugar.com/What-Siri-iPhone-4S-19321942

We might not all have the means for a butler or secretary, but you can pretend you do with Siri on the iPhone 4S. Siri, a voice-activated "personal assistant" on the new iPhone 4S helps you send messages, set reminders, and search for information. Be sure to experiment with these five features when you pick up your iPhone 4S when it's released on Oct. 14.

Forget about computer speak, Siri understands you as you would talk casually and conversationally. Say "Remind me to grab the gift when I get home," or "I'm looking for good Italian food nearby," and Siri responds back promptly. If Siri doesn't quite understand your request, it will question you further until it finds exactly what you are looking for.

If you are driving in the car and can't be distracted with a touchscreen, Siri reads and sends text messages, finds directions, or helps you set or reschedule appointments on your calendar.
Beyond the day-to-day, Siri helps you find apps and answer questions through Yelp and WolframAlpha, a knowledge search engine.

Location software helps Siri know where you live, work, and where you spend most of your time. Based off of that information, Siri provides you the best options in terms of map routes, restaurants, or other locations.

Siri can quickly call or text your friends. Simply say, "Text Kate I'm almost there" or "Call a cab," and Siri will quickly do so

Microsoft Retires Zune on Eve of iPhone Announcement

http://mashable.com/?p=754855

We knew this was coming, but now it’s official: Microsoft is not going to be making any more Zune players. A recent post on the Zune.net site confirms it, promising to honor warranties and continue offering support for owners.

“We will no longer be producing Zune players. So what does this mean for our current Zune users? Absolutely nothing. Your device will continue to work with Zune services just as it does today. And we will continue to honor the warranties of all devices for both current owners and those who buy our very last devices,” Microsoft’s post says.

Most tech pundits considered the Zune HD a solid MP3 player, but Microsoft never managed to make it a serious threat to Apple’s iPod and quietly decided to fold the Zune technology and features into the upcoming Windows Phone 7 devices.

Coincidentally, Microsoft shared the news of Zune’s demise right ahead of Apple’s big event, where the next generation iPhone and possibly some changes to the iPod lineup will be announced. Apple’s dominance in the world of multimedia players is no secret, but seeing one of its competitors giving up at this point only solidifies its status as the king.

And get ready for a whole new chapter Tuesday morning, whether it’s the iPhone 5, the 4S or both.

iPhone Adds “Find My Friends” App for Location Sharing

http://mashable.com/?p=755409

Among the myriad of announcements from Tuesday’s Apple
event was an interesting new app called Find My Friends.
The app lets you track the location of other users, but unlike
Google’s Latitude, which is meant to be used with a wide circle of
people you know, Apple’s app seems designed for use with a close
circle of friends and family.
Apple’s examples of how the app can be used includes checking out
if your son made it to school today.
Of course, not everyone wants to be tracked all the time, so
Apple has included some privacy options, such as temporary
location sharing. (For example, you can set up the app to share
your location up until 7 p.m. each day.)
We can imagine a lot of parents will like the app, but a great
deal of kids will probably hate it, or think of ways to circumvent
this type of surveillance.

Apple Unveils Siri, the iPhone 4S Voice Assistant

http://mashable.com/?p=755497

Apple has unveiled Siri, a new iPhone 4S feature that lets you
complete tasks on your phone by talking to it.
During an on-stage demo at Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino,
Calif., Apple VP Scott Forstall demonstrated Siri’s ability to
process natural language and respond accordingly. When he asked
the iPhone 4S, “What’s the weather like today?” it responded with
the weather forecast. It is capable of parsing natural human
language, rather than simple commands.
In addition for forecasts, Siri can read messages back, search
Wikipedia, schedule calendar appointments, set work reminders,
transcribe text messages, search Google Maps and more.
The technology, based on its acquisition of Siri in 2010, merges
artificial intelligence with the iPhone. It processes your
habits and patterns and personalizes results based on your
preferences.
Siri will come with built-in support for English, French and
German. It will start out as a beta but continue to evolve over
time.

iPhone 4S, New iPods & Siri: Everything You Need to Know About Apple’s Big Day

http://mashable.com/?p=755673

Apple gathered the world’s tech press at its headquarters in
Cupertino to announce its latest products — and to dash the hopes
of anyone expecting the iPhone 5 — on Tuesday.
What CEO Tim Cook did reveal during his first major product
announcement was the iPhone 4S — which, if you extend a belief
that beauty is on the inside to your electronics, isn’t such a bad
deal. The phone is much faster than its predecessor, has a better
camera and displays more vibrant colors. And it
understands human speech!
Apple also had plenty to announce about iPhone prices, new
partner carriers, the iPod, and iOS 5. You may know this already —
but in case you’re one of the millions who didn’t take time off
work to follow the story tweet by tweet, here’s a handy summary of
what’s new.

The iPhone 4S looks almost
exactly like the iPhone 4, but has a better camera and,
according to Apple Vice President Phil Schiller, runs “up to
seven times faster” than its predecessor. The phone will cost
$199 for a 16 GB model and $299 for a 32 GB model. It will be
available for pre-order on Oct. 7 and start shipping Oct. 14
Siri, a new iPhone 4S
feature, is voice activation on steroids. Because it is capable
of parsing natural human language, it can respond to a question
such as “What is the weather like today?” with an answer it
finds online, such as a weather report. It can read messages,
search Wikipedia, make a calendar appointment, set a reminder,
search Google Maps and more.
Apple is giving away its 8 GB iPhone
3G — with strings attached. The free phone
comes with a new two-year contract. You’ll also be able to
purchase the iPhone 4 for $99 with the same contract. Both
pricing options will go into effect when apple releases the 4S
on Oct. 14.
Sprint is getting the iPhone
4S. Becoming the third carrier to offer the iPhone is a
big bet for Sprint, which has reportedly agreed to purchase $20 billion in iPhones
regardless of whether or not it can sell them.
The new iPod Nano has
watch-like features and bigger app icons. It comes with 16
different clock faces (including Mickey) and tracks runs, steps
taken and calories burned without any additional sensors or
devices.
iOS 5 is available for free
on October 12, two days before the iPhone 4S comes out.
Apple announced new features for the updated version
of iOS in June. You can expect a new notification center,
BBM-like messaging, a folder for magazine and newspaper app
subscriptions, a new to-do list app and Twitter integration.
