Frank Fazio, owner of the iPhone 4S integrated voice software supports Apple sued Siri Northern California court, saying the airline was false advertising.
After purchasing the iPhone 4S, Fazio realize that in their ads, Apple has mislead users about the utility that brings Siri. For example, when asked about the direction Siri to a specific location such as a store that Siri does not fully understand the contents of questions and it takes lot of time will tell, even wrong answers. Therefore he has decided to sue Apple. Apple has a lot of money in regional advertising campaign for Syria, but according to Frank Fazio, Siri brings no little effect, just as the firm basis for the higher price of iPhone 4 iPhone 4S. According to Fazio's lawyer, Apple has violated the protection of customers, competition laws of California. He is studying how to collect evidence against the 4S and the Apple iPhone, to force Apple to lower prices as well as products to compensate for all losses for his clients.
Siri is currently a software "hot" of Apple, but is still in the finishing process. Siri is provided on the iPhone 4S is only beta and Apple is still trying to expand it into other languages, in the last week Apple has updated Siri Japanese. Fazio also alleges that Apple has distorted the use of Siri for potential customers. Siri makes use user fees to pay more than 3G, and will easily cause users to exceed expected 3G traffic. An Apple spokesman declined to comment on the incident.
Google has confirmed Assistant developing Google, the search feature ... voice exactly like features "assistant" Siri on the Apple iPhone 4S.
Google Assistant will work with Apple's Siri same manner.
Page TechCrunch said Google has confirmed that Google is developing Assistant, a feature that helps users to use voice to find things like Siri features of Apple. How it works similar to Google's Siri Assistant, that is, users will be asked and the application will find information to answer. Yet another Google Siri Assistant in that it will be integrated into all Google applications, not just integrated into a single application of the iPhone as Siri. This means that users can use Google to search Assistant all the information on Google Search or customized analysis of information search results from Google + and other services. Google Assistant application was developed from a team of developers of the Android platform and it will be the main application developed by Google in 2012 as Google + did in 2011. Unnamed sources as saying Assistant TechCrunch said Google applications will come in about the 4th quarter of this year.
Google is rushing to build software with voice commands Voice Actions on Android, codenamed Majel enhance competitiveness with Apple. According to information from AndroidandMe said Google engineers are actively completing this software in the Google secret labs X. Reportedly, Voice Actions is now available on most Android phones but only perform simple commands. Google has not watched Siri fever is attractive tree tunnel heat from Apple. When Majel was developed and perfected, it will allow you to perform tasks the same way that Siri is currently doing.
Siri is an attractive focal point on the Apple iPhone 4S.
Earlier, Mary Jo Zandy, chief executive of investment firm Berkery Noyes provides a interesting theory on how Google can be used to "joke items" if the giant Apple bought Nuance - the largest company specializing in the voice recognition software and its technology is used in Siri. If Google bought Nuance, the company will first hit: 2 target: Android equipped for a service like voice recognition, and collect royalties from Apple when using Siri. However, with the latest information on AndroidandMe, Google has to take steps in creating a strategic balance with the Apple Siri earlier.
Majel is expected to be released later this year, while other enhanced features will be completed a few months later.
Since Siri was born, has a lot of similar applications on Android appear, however Cluzee product seems to be successful in an attempt to create your own Android Siri.
The company announced Tronton Cluzee on Tuesday, was introduced as an "assistant personal digital intelligence" and applications began to be noticed. Cluzee is a free application, the amount of about 19 MB and can operate on computers that use Android version 2.1 or higher. The effectiveness of corporate applications has been emphasized in the speech with a video demonstration. This smart application can speak and can understand the variations of natural language along with voice recognition, although some people believe that Cluzee not like the British accent. Cluzee can read the e-mail, reply to the message and move the user's speech into characters. It also helps users to plan your day with a Day Planner features as well as the health care plan by tracking calories and help users make the exercises. Processing features of social media like Facebook or Twitter with individual radio features are also present in this application. Along with organizing information, Cluzee also a feature in the procurement, providing users with hints and screen them based on shopping preferences of individual users. The search function is supported locally by Groupon and Yipit will assist users to find the best places to shop. The question is whether Cluzee be enough to counterbalance the Siri, or it will again go into the blind alley of food applications such as Siri Iris, Vlingo, Speaktoit and Jeanie? Some people say that Cluzee certainly has limitations of it and many places are needed in future updates. Those who have downloaded the application also reflects that sometimes the application crashes. But this is only version 1.0 of this application.
The products and services for the following technologies are expected to play an important role in changing the work style and contemporary living. NFC, SSD, ICS, HTML5, AR, "The Cloud" (cloud) are terms of technology can make you "crazy head" as hard to understand, but it is very "hot". The products and services applying this technology is changing the lifestyle and work rapidly. PCWorld The U.S. introduced 10 products - services technology is typical to readers.
Siri
The idea to use voice commands to the device without the need for input devices like mouse, keyboard, without even touching the touch screen ... no longer new. Song, the debut hit, as well as the exhilaration of the crowd before the appearance of "personal assistant" Siri that Apple put iPhone 4S is a sign of the technology boom in the near future. The mobile platform Android is competing with iOS and Windows Phone 7 as well instantly to plan for similar products. Of course, like Siri, they are not really perfect. What a business opportunity here is to what? Certainly companies and programmers will make numerous applications speech recognition technology in a creative way, such that users request their phone to do things like find it boring stuff snacks with the best price on a certain website sales. This technology has the potential to really break the business model fully fertile on the web search engine Google.
Near-Field Communications (NFC - the narrow range of communication)
Convenient Mobile Payment with NFC technology on a smart phone could become popular in 2012 when this type of phone, as Samsung Galaxy Galaxy S II and Nexus, are mass produced. The retailer also needs to upgrade their payment equipment, or installation of new equipment technology application that allows buyers can pay more comfortable with your credit card. But the true potential of NFC technology is probably not simply located in the expenses paid shopping. Users can use smart phones to pay their parking fees, pay bus, taxi or even find out information from the kiosks add NFC compatible devices around. Moreover, NFC is a precondition for the development of display technology "smart poster" (for example when the user reaches the cinema and introduce that poster cinema that, they just apply phone on a poster. Immediately they receive the latest trailer and other information related to the film via magnetic card has been mounted in the front inside. Or when passing by a sign, they may just apply to to access the site through which to learn the details about the product and related services and purchase if desired). This is a gold mine for business acumen with the application of new technology to life. NFC revolution is just beginning and will definitely boom.
Tablet PCs
All of us know the tablet is attractive to how the consumer. But using it to look from the perspective of how business will be? Along with the announcement of his device supports Microsoft Exchange, Apple has been trying to persuade big business, promoting the power of the iPad in production environments and retail operations. But this time Apple will certainly face strong competition from tablet PCs running Windows 8. The devices using Microsoft operating systems suggesting that they seem better suited to the environment of large-scale enterprises. Windows 8 will provide a platform for the security for business users want to use a unified operating system (with software running on it) on different hardware platforms such as desktop , laptops, tablet PCs.
Windows 8
Operating system Windows 8 coming official launch of Microsoft interface breakthrough than the senior most of it since Windows 95. The interface box brick-friendly touch screen interface is inherited from the Metro of Windows Phone 7 could attract the attention of the business sector and encourage them to upgrade the current operating system without worrying about afraid of the big changes in the system. The compatibility issue of Windows 8 with a large number of applications are still left open when the massive system upgrade from Windows XP and Windows 7. Block of business customers have been ignored with the Microsoft operating systems before Windows Vista when they disappoint.
HTML 5
With Adobe released a white flag - declares the end of Flash technology development for mobile browsers - the future of HTML 5 becomes extremely bright. New web programming language allows programmers to build dynamic web applications and most importantly a good run on multiple browsers and different platforms, including mobile devices and the tablet. Although the process of replacing Flash HTML 5 will not happen quickly, but the development of the mobile device generation will help accelerate this process. But HTML 5 is still in the design stage, but can say that it is the future of the browser.
3D Printer
3D printer will never be as popular sibling of its large line of laser or inkjet printer, but its position in the business activity has increased much in recent years. With new 3D printing technologies are being developed and improved, the engineers, scientists, artists, and all criminology industry can rapidly build prototypes of their three-way correctly. Recently, 3D printers have been using other materials such as stainless steel instead of plastic material which is mainly used in this field. Styrofoam and tissue paper has been in the field trial in 3D. Some researchers even believe that 3D printers are capable of creating models of human body parts.
Solid state drive SSD (Solid State Drives)
Models of Apple MacBook Air first launched in 2008 with the optional 64 GB SSD hard drive is a boost for the storage market does not use traditional hard disk. SSD is now indispensable in the line of ultra-thin notebooks like the MacBook Air or the new computer running Windows, Ultrabook. With advantages such as short startup time and energy with the ability to run applications faster, SSD is fast becoming the new standard in the computer store for business. Affected by floods, the price of traditional hard drives manufactured in Thailand and their prices are missing. This could accelerate the development of the computer using the SSD which is only a modest share of the world.
Cloud
Some people may disagree with this choice for reasons cloud computing actually is not new. Businesses also have the data repository connected to each other and can be accessed via Internet from the previous millennium. But now the trend of business on the cloud will become evident. These include the Amazon's web services (such as S3 storage service) or the Microsoft Windows Azure provides many benefits for users as well as reduce costs instead of self storage in the enterprise. The emergence of a wide range of applications "cloud" user friendly as the Apple iCloud, the Amazon Cloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Docs and Microsoft's SkyDrive as well as data backup service online businesses as Carbonite will help cloud computing becomes more popular in a short time. Looking ahead, the user will probably prefer to hire to enjoy digital content rather than buying as before.
Android 4.0
The new OS 4.0 of Google Android for mobile devices is known for its community name quite "delicious" is "Ice Cream Sandwich" (ICS) has been tested to some experts. Although Android is now mainly for ordinary users, but version 4.0 has many significant improvements to the block of business users, these changes are expected to receive the support of the department IT managers in the enterprise when dealing with managing multi-platform devices. The upgrade of the ICS will be useful for corporate environments, including the ability to encode from access devices, improved management features work schedule, you can disable the application and screen-capture to error is very convenient.
Provides real-time information - Augmented Reality
Augmented Reality technology (AR) was famed Hollywood director Steven Spielberg as envisioned in the work of his film Minority Report. Now that technology is from the world of science fiction real step forward. You do not have to be Tom Cruise can enjoy and use AR technology, as it has in the mobile devices you use every day. Today, the typical AR applications can be "covered" in many places such as restaurants, bus or even on the means of collection and transfer pictures to the streets. The promising technologies like Google Goggles and Layar provides a Vision of what the AR application that brings the ability to integrate and interact great with tablets and smartphones. Imagine travelers just point the camera's built-in mobile devices to your hotel and will have immediate information, photos of rooms and prices, then can proceed to booking!
iPhone 4S offers a faster processor, graphics chip, controlled voice with Siri, the back equipped with 8 megapixel camera with 1080p video recording capabilities, and supports both GSM and CDMA connection speed HSPA + high.
It's just an upgrade
If you look from the outside, iPhone 4S is an exact replica of the iPhone 4. The difference in this debut is the second release a black and white version for users to choose from.
The phone is completely stereotyped design of the iPhone 4 before the two sides of glass panels associated with a thin metal strip running around the edges to form a "sandwich" is only 9.3 mm thick. Although fragile, but users still feel a certain design.
The front of the iPhone 4S
Still Apple's standard buttons from the button below the LCD screen, volume control layout on the left, the button switch on silent mode, headphone jack and power button on the second side, SIM card slot on the right (you'll need a paper clip to eject the SIM out). The following is the basic design with a shiny Apple logo, thin metal ring surrounding the new camera does not seem larger than the camera on the iPhone 4.
If you do not see this as a "new phone" disappointing, the glass design combined with reasonable layout, 4S iPhone is actually a brilliant upgrade to choose.
The back of the iPhone 4S
4S iPhone weighs 140 grams, up slightly from 137 grams of the iPhone 4, but it was not a significant increase as you feel like holding a device is too large or too heavy. That is one reason why Apple did not increase in size 3.5 inch external display, the size that most people considered reasonable.
The power inside
Still a 3.5 inch display with 960 x 640 resolution, VGA front camera support FaceTime supports GPS, Wi-Fi and the choice of storage 16 GB, 32 GB or 64 GB . Almost all taken from the iPhone 4S.

Speed improvements
Apple offers dual-core chip inside the iPhone 4S A5 2 times faster than A4 in the iPhone 4 and GPU is also capable of processing speed up to 7 times. But all the ads, two cores does not necessarily mean that iPhone 4S will be 2 times faster than the iPhone 4. However, the upgrade will certainly provide a faster pace as in the upgrade from iPad to iPad 2. But the outcome, only that the new test results.
Testing with the Google Maps application, iPhone 4S complete open the application in about 0.88 seconds, while the iPhone 4 takes more than 1.55 seconds. Repeated, resulting in almost no change. iPhone 4S actually faster and more responsive. Therefore, the game developers can harness the power that this device offers.
The results of performance tests also showed that iPhone 4S general working approximately two times faster than the iPhone 4. Graphics capability, test ProGLBench benchmark performance graphics through a series of 3D game shows, the ability to process iPhone 4S is about five times faster than iPhone 4 with the same aspect ratio .

Powerful imaging capabilities
Apple also was quick to point out that most images on Flickr from the camera has taken on the iPhone, so clear 5 megapixel camera of iPhone 4 before it really has a great influence on the fan like taking pictures. Although lower resolution than the other Android phones, but sensors for image quality and good color, combined with HDR mode that really attract users.
With the iPhone 4S, Apple has increased the resolution sensor when shooting still images up to 8 megapixel (2448 x 3264 pixel), a series of innovative optical lens, f/2.4 aperture larger and ability 1080p Full HD video capture allows users to feel worn a high PNS. Users also can shoot faster when shooting as soon as the lock screen mode, saving operation than the iPhone 4.
In fact, both cameras are the same as taken by the user simply will not differ on the 3.5 inch screen. But when you open a video or image on the desktop, image quality from the iPhone 4S proved superior.
According to Apple, 1080p and 720p video quality is perfect, the level of clear and sharp compared to other competitors. However, ever-changing iPhone 4S lifelike images that can capture subjects in low light much better. The shooting for more accurate colors, iPhone 4 in some scenes feel too difficult to put away the red or blue objects, while iPhone 4S proved much better treatment.
Pictures of iPhone 4S brighter than the iPhone 4
However, considering that the iPhone 4 has a wider viewing angle compared to video mode iPhone 4S. This means iPhone 4 allows better scene when so many people want to capture in a photograph.
For many photographers usually, iPhone 4S is a replacement can give a PNS camera except that the user wants to proceed to capture the distant objects need to zoom closer.
Images from the camera of 5 5 different life iPhone, iPhone 4S proved superior to many
Siri feature
In addition to dual-core processor with 8 megapixel camera, a feature most noticeable in comparison with the iPhone 4 iPhone 4S features Siri is built.
Siri is considered a "virtual personal assistant" that allows users to control their phone via voice commands, such as naming someone to call them.
Siri can play songs from the library, find direction, alarms, appointments, email copy, look for the stock price information, write notes, web search, ...
More impressive is that Siri allows you to be able to talk with the natural language instead of the required statements. You can use any question, such as "Tell me the weather", "Is it raining?", "How cold is it outside?", "What's the weather ?",... as long as you understand what Siri can and can not do based on the analysis of relevant requirements. Notably, Siri can record voice commands correctly even with the most noise.
Although not able to respond quickly to requests for orders Siri time to "think" all from the command to execute, but the integration into the iPhone 4S Siri has opened a new smartphone to the world using limited knowledge of technology can quickly compose a text with a lightning fast speed.
Experiment with features on the iPhone 4S Siri
Quality HSPA +
HSPA + features included in version Apple iPhone 4S will help your users can access the 4G network speeds much higher than the previous version. In a series of tests in and out of buildings in downtown Portland, the highest speed of an iPhone 4 is just 0.3 Mbps, while the iPhone 4S result in at least 0.4 Mbps and indeed can be up to 3 Mbps at some point. Considering the average quality gain of about 1 Mbps network, surpassing its previous model.
According to the theory of technology, the speed can reach to the top of the 14.4 Mbps mark. Although results will not be impressed with the speed from 18 to 22 Mbps of Droid Bionic 4G LTE network of Verizone but this result 4S also iPhone into a powerful machine.
Battery life
Although the speed and still keep the physical size of the battery but the iPhone really 4S battery provides better performance than the iPhone 4. According to the Apple ads, 4S iPhone allows users to call within 8 hours (up from 7 hours in the iPhone 4), 200 hours standby, 6 hours in 3G mode and 10 hours after using Wi-Fi (up from 9 hours). In fact, this figure rose is just a small level, users still have to charge the batteries every night.
Evaluation of the craft
Although not equipped LTE iPhone 4S, no larger screen or not slimmer shape but considering that the iPhone 4S is one of the most attractive smartphone on the market. With many useful features than the predecessor, including increased speed, support Siri unique, intuitive, ... can say that users are not disappointed.
Pros
Powerful Camera
Siri support new features, handy
Support connecting high-speed HSPA +
Retina Display The display is stunning quality
Compact design, attractive
Cons
Still no support for connecting high-speed 4G LTE
Not equipped with an expandable memory card slot, no battery replacement
Designed with a glass surface which case the user needs to protect your equipment
It is undeniable that in the event 4S iPhone announcement, Apple has always wanted to create focal points with Siri, a new feature is extremely important and impressive with the new iPhone model. The following article will provide some specific information about the "Siri".
Siri What?
Siri is a large and long-term plan of the Apple. At the event "Let's Talk iPhone", Apple just launched the beta version, Apple promised to support more languages for this service (currently only supports the languages English, French and German) and integrated Siri with more devices and expand more features. But what exactly is Siri? Siri is used to do?
Siri Apple wants us to see not only a voice control function alone. Because after all, the iPhone has features to support basic voice control. Apple wants to give us something bigger, Siri Apple created as an "assistant" to live inside your equipment. Siri not only help you manage the basic functions of a phone such as calling, texting, but also the ability to search for advanced Web information and provide you, such as providing the restaurant in the region, prompting you to bring your raincoat when it's going to rain ...
Siri - Apple's humble personal assistant could reshape the way We use our phones
One special thing is that you do not need to use the phrase to describe individual commands. According to Apple, Siri able to understand the context of your words. For example, you could say "What's the weather like today? (Your weather like today)," or "Is it going to rain today?" (Today it's not rain), in both cases Siri still display the weather forecast for you today. You can use Siri, in many cases. When you're at home, reported receiving a phone message, simply press and hold the Home button to activate Siri, and ordered "Read my message!" (Please read my message!), A robotic female voice will read the new message for you. Some may argue that reading a message in the usual way will be faster.
The cons of Siri
According to common sense, we do not believe that Siri will be perfect. The biggest problem is whether to think Siri Siri has always understood exactly what we say? If you have an appointment with an important partner, but Siri misplace your appointment now it will be like? ...
Another problem is the support of Siri limited language. Siri currently only supports the languages English, French and German.
Although Siri can go into operation on the different functions of the IOS, but Apple also acknowledges that we do not do it all with Siri, so can not do everything by voice only. In addition, to this point, Siri can only use the application's default IOS operating system. This means that Syria will not be used on its other applications.
User expectations
Siri is a really interesting applications with much improved through voice recognition, but this feature is still quite new and sophisticated users. In addition to providing users a voice control application simple and effective, Apple should create an entirely new way to interact with the phone.
After purchasing the iPhone 4S, Fazio realize that in their ads, Apple has mislead users about the utility that brings Siri. For example, when asked about the direction Siri to a specific location such as a store that Siri does not fully understand the contents of questions and it takes lot of time will tell, even wrong answers. Therefore he has decided to sue Apple.
