This siri app looks cool. Since Mango, Windows phone 7 voice integration is miles better than iphone 4 or androids and this looks to be even more intuitive.

Question is...is it really needed? Talk to SMS and email is nice to have but do you really need a phone butler?

Not for me, no. I never used voice recognition on any of my phones.

I wanted/I didn't want a bigger screen. Browsing would've been better but the on screen keybaord would've become worse. Having the option would've been cool though.

When do iphone4 users get iOS5? :/

So,....

8MP Camera. - Existed on many phones for a year now... tho potentially faster than other phones and maybe better quality than some or most.
Voice control. - Existed in Android for years now... though I'll admit it looks more intuitive... however still can do anything on my phone as was done in that demo.
HSPA+ network - Existed in many other phones for a year now.
Dual core processor - Existed in a few other phones throughout this year.. really a standard going forward. Also comes with same hit to battery as other dual core phones.

So, basically 4S is just a catch-up device to other existing Android phones.

However, its still a preference based choice between the various OSs. With iOS you get apps sooner and typically first. With iOS you get better updates to the OS. With Android you get best selection and versatility. With Android you get best pricing options for latest phones. With Android you get latest features or hardware first (at least for the last couple years and foreseeable future). With Android you can get LTE now (only real 4G). With Android you can get larger screens. With BB you can get ... well ... idk. Nothing unique really unless it pertains to your companies back-end systems. Hell, even BB Messenger is launching on Android. With WM7 you can get better integration with Live.

Otherwise all offer you similar yet different UI experiences. However, Android is the only one that when using various apps, you can actually have any UI you want.

I can't wait for next week on the 11th. New Nexus phone will be detailed. NFC, Google Wallet, etc...

Though I have to say, Siri was awesome and I hope Google's Voice integration follows that path and improves on it.


Doubt 12 year olds have that kind of money.........well maybe if their parents are rich.

I always pictured Apple fans as tech geeks whether they be in highs school or their mid 30s

1) The megapixels of a camera is just one of several measures of quality you need to take into account, and it seems to be quite a high quality camera.

2) According to the data Apple has given on battery life, it's pretty much the same as the iPhone 4. So there isn't really any noticable hit from what we know.

1) I know... I did say it was potentially better than most.

2) Didn't know that. However, its hard to compar as every other dual-core phone I've read about / used/seen is also LTE device. So battery life is more due to LTE than dual core... Either way... point its that its nothing new and is essently the standard moving forward.
