Asking Siri Questions

I love asking Siri a question and getting a witty remark as my answer. I thought it would be a good idea to test and see how many questions I could ask her and get fun responses for. I compiled a list of these comments and questions and the result is this video. Siri is really smart when it comes to facts and statistics because she is based upon Wolfram Alpha, but when it comes to being social and friendly, I think they could work on making that part a little more fun.

Evi: Siri Alternative for iPhone, iPad, & iPod Touch

Evi is a revolutionary artificial intelligence application for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch that can help you with all of your everyday information needs. In many ways, it is a Siri replacement for anyone that doesn't own an iPhone 4S. One of the major benefits of Evi is the ability to interact with the application using either voice or text input, a feature Siri does not have. At $0.99, Evi is a great application and alternative for anyone that wants Siri functionality on their iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch.

3 Things I Expect to See in the iPad 3! (UPDATE - WILL NOT BE RELEASED AT iWorld)

As we all know, Apple's iPad 3 is expected to be announced sometime early next year. Some sources say that it will be announced at iWorld, which is scheduled from the 26th to the 28th of January 2012. In this article, I am going to give my personal opinion on what I'd like to see from the new iPad. 

 

Better Cameras

I am sure that you will agree that both the front and rear facing camera's on the iPad 2 are not of the best quality, and with no flash, they are a big letdown. The cameras on the iPad 2 are both less than a megapixel each. I would like to see at least a 5-megapixel camera with flash on the rear and a 3-megapixel on the the front of the iPad 3.

 

Retina Display 

 Many believed that the iPad 2 would be getting the patented best-in-class Retina Display. But sadly, that wasn't to be. Personally, I think if Apple doesn't upgrade the display on the iPad 3 from 1024x768 PPI (Pixels Per Inch) to a 2048x1536 Retina Display, then there is a strong potential that some iPad users might switch to the Andriod platform.

 

Siri Intergration

With Apple's voice assistant Siri being a key feature on the iPhone 4S, then this is a must for the iPad 3. I am sure that Siri would be one of it's main features for the iPad 3, as well. It will be another great way to work your way around the iPad, by speaking to it! I would love to see Siri on the iPad 3.

What would you think we will see from the iPad 3? Comment below.

Siri for the iPhone 4S Demo & Review

This is a video demonstration of the Siri app that comes stock on the iPhone 4S. Siri is a personal assistant that's geared towards helping the users experience with your iPhone a more productive one. In this video, I demonstrate a few of the key features that are currently available for Siri. The "Reminders" app, which was recently introduced with the release of iOS5, has seamless integration with Siri. The ability to use Reminders with Siri creates a simpler means of scheduling and reminding the user to perform certain tasks throughout the day.

Siri also provides the ability to send a text message (via voice) to a person, which would come in handy if texting while driving. The intellect of Siri allows it to realize your location and serve up answers to your questions such as "What gift should I get my mother for her birthday?" (As I ask in the video). The Siri application will find your current location and bring up a list of gift shops. But what would artificial intelligence be without a hint of sarcasm? ..I've asked Siri a series of quI hope you enjoy this video, thanks for watching.
