SIRI

It became a little bit easier and possibly closer to legal for hackers trying to bring Apple's digital personal assistant Siri to iOS devices other than the iPhone 4S, according to a prominent iOS hacker.

2012 promises to be another year of promising, if not exciting developments for Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and CEO Tim Cook, the man who replaced Jobs. Apple has the world's bestselling tablet, the iPad, and the bestselling smartphone, the iPhone, and the company wants to keep it that way.

Now we have to wait that which hacker comes out with the jailbreak of the year. Whoever can break Apple's latest processor, A5 chip, he may be termed Jailbreaker of 2011.

Siri, the voice-controlled intelligent personal assistant, is the most striking feature of the iPhone 4S. However, it might meet its nemesis soon as Internet search engine giant Google will reportedly launch Android version of Siri.

Due to the non-encrypted ramdisks, the filesystem keys are now obtainable. Though these mainframes are wide open inspection-wise, yet security-wise they are not so. The present finding will help hackers get more access to the 4S files and Siri files.

Buying a smartphone for somebody else is no different than buying any other gift, except for the pesky carrier data plans and limited availability of many devices. Luckily, both the Samsung Galaxy S2 and iPhone 4S are available on multiple carriers, and that makes comparing them much easier. You aren't forced to go to only one carrier, although that wasn't the case with previous iPhone versions.

Galaxy Nexus finally went on sale Dec. 15 at Verizon, and it's $300 on contract with a bonus data deal available for a limited time from Verizon's Web site. That $300 is the highest price you can expect to pay for a subsidized smartphone in the U.S. right now (only exception is the 64GB version of iPhone 4S). It's also on par with Verizon's other flagship phones. Droid Razr, HTC Rezound and the 32 gigabyte version of iPhone 4S.

Apple will launch the iPhone 4S in Brazil on midnight Friday, even though the phone will be costly and won't yet feature a working version of Siri.

Apple fans are complaining about iPhone 4S' half-baked Siri, the personal, voice-controlled, intelligent assistant, prompting everyone to wonder when the technology giant will unveil iPhone 5 and what improved features it will carry.

That's just just a fun rumor spawned by a concept video cirulating the Web that someone named Dakota Adney put together. The real innovation is just that -- the creative video. But no bona Apple expert under the sun thinks the Apple iPad 3 will be released such a radical design.

Apple's purchase of Anobit, an Israeli maker of Flash chips, likely means the iPhone 5 will greatly improve its memory storage capabilities.

All kinds of rumors for Apple's next generation tablet - dubbed iPad 3 - are flying thick and fast all over the Internet. And, the most recent rumor is that - hold your breath - iPad 3 will be transparent and rimless.

This may be the eternal prospective-tablet-buyer's lament. Should you buy (insert name here) tablet or the iPad. The comparisons are inevitable, but the buzz around the Eee Pad Transformer Prime is very positive if not as hyperbolic as the Kindle Fire's pre-launch publicity.

The rumors about the next generation iPad, dubbed iPad 3, are endless. And the latest rumor is that the highly anticipated iPad 3 will launch in March or April 2012.

iPhone 4S vs HTC Droid Incredible 2 is a good match up because on paper it seems like the iPhone is the obvious choice. For the same price as the Droid Incredible (there's a $50 online discount), iPhone 4S comes with more processing power, 1080p video capture and Siri the voice activated digital assistant

Citing several sources, Citi analyst Richard Gardner said in a note that the iPad 3 will launch in February with a screen that has double the resolution of Apple's most recent model, the iPad 2. Such a screen enhancement would improve the iPad's graphics to sharpness levels available on Apple's popular iPhone 4 and 4S, according to CNET.

Siri is the most popular feature of the Apple iPhone 4S. The personal, intelligent voice assistant is not only helpful but also can keep iPhone users entertained for hours. However, Siri has its own share of flaws.

Rumors about the possible release date and features of Android's formidable rival, iPhone 5, have begun growing louder even as the popularity wave of iPhone 4S and its new feature Siri have begun dying down.

Siri, iOS 5’s voice assistant application works exclusively on the iPhone 4S. Hackers have been attempting for long to crack the interesting software so that it could be used on other Apple devices and now a Chinese group claims to have done just that.

T-Mobile missed out on the iPhone, so if you're a customer of theirs, you can grab the Galaxy S2 or the slightly cheaper HTC Sensation 4G. It's $200 with a new two year contract, the same price as iPhone 4S. Sensation 4G will be getting the Android 4.0 update, HTC has confirmed, but it might be a couple more months before it gets it.

Microsoft is the latest technology giant to storm cable's barricades.
