I am an android guy …. but for the first time I want to have an IPhone in my hand.
Just because of 1 little (big) improvement from the Iph 4 - SIRI. The intelligent assistant embedded into the 4S. Many ‘tech’ websites are gaining a lot of traffic just by finding answers to all the silly questions one could ask this new friend. Believe me there are enough to amuse you for a weekend or two. This is one such site (http://shitthatsirisays.tumblr.com/).
But there is so much more. Say, if you are in desparate need of caffine, normally you’ve gotta type that in ( which itself is a big task ). BUt now, just say “SIRI, find me coffee” and Bang!
SIRI is not something new, It started out as an experiment at DARPA and now is the largest AI(artificial Intelligence) project ever !. It was then introduced as an APP on the Iphone ( remember ‘Dragon Naturally Speaking’ ?). Finally Apple bought the whole product in April ‘10.
For obvious reasons SIRI is still in its ‘beta’ stage and APPLE assures it will work to get rid of the ‘odd non-working’ tendency. Also trying to improve the analysis part of it more effective. The users say that they really like how they feel like they can have a nice conversation with their device.
SIRI is impressive but still a work in progress. For guys like me, wait for IPhone 5 and get one (hopefully with 4G also included)
