Siri?

Hey Guys..I have realised that many of you don't even know the meaning of Siri..So I have decided to post about it...
Siri

What Is Siri?

Basically, In simple language, it is an assistant which helps you get things by asking. Actually, It has Voice recognition and it does understand your normal language..(Not like you have to speak specific commands).It helps in sending messages or some other tasks...
 In Iphone 4S , It uses the power of A5 Dual Core Chip.It works on Beta and the Apple Inc. claims to improve it over time..



With What apps Does it works with?

Siri works with almost all the built-in apps on iPhone 4S. And it’s smart enough to figure out which apps to use to provide you with answers. It also uses Search and Location Services to help you with your requests. Here’s a list of apps and services that Siri works with worldwide:

  • Phone

  • FaceTime

  • Music

  • Mail

  • Messages

  • Calendar

  • Reminders

  • Notes

  • Contacts

  • Weather

  • Stocks

  • Web Search

  • Find My Friends

  • Alarms, World Clock and Timer

  • Wolfram|Alpha(English only)
  • Wikipedia search







  •  

Personal Likes: The Siri is really useful for Blind and visually impaired Users.VoiceOver, the screen reader built into iOS, can speak any text that’s displayed in responses from Siri. You can navigate through the responses and have each one read to you.



Language Support and Availability

Siri works exclusively on iPhone 4S. Siri understands and can speak the following languages:
  • English (United States, United Kingdom, Australia)
  • French (France)
  • German (Germany)
  • Japanese (Japan)
  • More Coming Up...

iOS 5.1 Released....

Readers, are you aware that the iOS 5.1 is released for the devices along with the Launch of the new i-Pad...


How happy was I to see that..


Ups And Downs..
This update is offering many things...The Update says-"Addresses bugs affecting battery life" ..I wish it sticks to it literal meaning.."Finally Apple solves its battery issue with iOS 5.1," wrote one user on the Mac Forum. " Huge improvement," wrote another.What is your observation??Let us know!


awarenessbuzz.blogspot.com
Look at this video to know more about the features-

3G to 4G?
After updating to iOS 5.1 , many of you may be in tension or on the seventh cloud after seeing that the 3G on the bar has turned to 4G.That will happen only if you are a AT&T iPhone owner..This change reflects that the iPhone is connecting to AT&T’s HSPA+ network, which is essentially a faster version of 3G. For comparison, HSPA+ supports a raw downstream capability of up to 14 Mbps compared to a maximum download rate of 73 Mbps for LTE (Long Term Evolution).(Source:tidbits)




So..Hang On for more!
