In an attempt to show iPhone and Android users exactly what they are missing out on, Microsoft have created an interactive HTML5 based demo which replicates the look & feel of the latest version of their smartphone OS – Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango).
I don’t know what it is about the iPhone, but I’ve discovered it’s the only thing in our home guaranteed to keep our kids happy. Even our eight-month old daughter loves watching TV shows on it, and playing with apps that are filled with bright colors and funny noises.
A large proportion of iOS 5 users – especially those with an iPhone 4S – have been plagued by battery issues since updating to Apple’s latest iPhone firmware. But thankfully, the Cupertino company has issues an update today to combat those issues, and others.
Hot on the heels of the first iPhone 4S TV advert, Apple have uploaded three more ads featuring their newest smartphone, to their YouTube channel. The latest adverts, which you can watch in this post, showcase Siri, iCloud, and the camera.
Apple’s first iPhone 4S TV advert, titled ‘Assistant’, demonstrates how Siri – the voice-controlled personal assistant, can be used in different scenarios – from finding the quickest route to a hospital, to learning what a weasel looks like.
I’ve been using my iPhone 4S for just over a week now, and I’ve got to say, I love it. I loved my iPhone 4, so anything that improves upon that was going to be a winner in my book. Admittedly I was slightly disappointed that there was no iPhone 5 at Apple’s media event earlier this year, but I was still pleased with the iPhone 4S.
Inspired by HAL 9000 from Arthur C. Clarke’s Space Odyssey, the Iris 9000 Voice Control Module from ThinkGeek is the first accessory that works with Siri and allows a user to control their iPhone 4S remotely from across the room.
I’ve been using my iPhone 4S since its launch last Friday, and if there’s one thing that impresses me more than Siri, it’s that new 8-megapixel camera. Coupled with new and improved optics, and some pretty fantastic image stabilization technology, the new camera takes some wonderful photographs, and jaw-dropping high-definition video.
According to an Apple press release issued earlier today, sales of the iPhone 4S topped four million over the first weekend of its release. The company also revealed that over 25 million customers were already using iOS 5 on their devices, and more than 20 million customers have signed up to iCloud.
