iPhone 4S SIRI – Going Ahead of the Type and Tap Scenario
When iPhone 4S was launched last week, the major attraction that made people go dumbstruck was the SIRI app. A voice recognition system that obeys your commands. SIRI has been developed with AI. Its understanding of the use evolves and it keeps in mind the earlier commands given to her. It’s capable of understanding, learning and adapting to her user. This particular app is a revolutionary attempt to make way for verbal commands and abandon the type and tap theory forever.
With SIRI, you need not type on a physical or even a virtual keyboard. All the work can be done merely by speaking. You can actually talk to the robotic assistant and ask her to send text messages, schedule meetings, make notes, check weather and so on. The SIRI app was developed with an intention to make computers more intuitive and understanding. She will initially raise her IQ and as of now functions properly only in the US since it needs time to upgrade depending on the language and the accent of different countries.
Apple has plans to do this soon and also boost up her reasoning and decision making skills. It’s been noticed that as of now SIRI is utilized only for 90% of the time whereas the tapping and touching works go as usual with getting occupies most of the time. But experts predict that eventually with the increase in the intellectual capability of SIRI, all the virtual and physical keyboards will have to make way for this unique app since your iPhone will start talking to you. This raises the question whether the QWERTY keyboard or the touch screen keyboard will become a thing of the past.
Siri makes life easy…!

So when at Google Android boss Andy Robin takes shows up to AllthingsD’s AsiaD he tries o downplay Siri and we so wish that he had a better argument to back up his claim. Robin commented that the phone is a tool for communicating and one shouldn’t be communicating with phone instead. He basically tried to suggest that one isn’t supposed to interact with Siri on the iPhone but with others using the device as a phone. So certainly if making call was only objective of the handheld phones, even my 10 yr old Nokia does that for me. The hogwash from Rubin takes us a decade back and far away from mobile computing. One thing Apple fans want to say is dear Andy Siri makes computing easy, it connects, it get things done…… it makes life easy..!

The excitement was evident with people queuing up in front of the Apple stores to get a glimpse of the wonder phone and own one too. AT&T and Sprint Nextel, the major carriers have also declared that they had the biggest single day sales record yet.
This week also saw the launch of iOS 5.A new revolution with almost 200 features in hand for the recent upgrades of iPhones, iPads and iPods. This was followed by the release of iCloud, a new technology.
The new iPhone 4S has topped the sales records with over 1 million preorders in one single day…a whopping figure indeed!! Last year the iPhone 4 had received 600,000 preorders. With the release of the iOS 5, people found it almost difficult to install it due to the heavy overload of the Apple servers. They even encountered some serious problems like missing data and required troubleshooting to get it done correctly.
The expected sales did effect the Apple shares with the company stock closing at $422.This was an all time high hit for Apple.
