First Hands On Video of iPhone 4S with Benchmarks

Those are some solid numbers. It'll be interesting to see what Ice Cream Sandwich on Android delivers.
The proximity sensor can't tell your ear from your elbow.
This assumes the Siri code doesn't require a dual-core CPU or other hardware which the i4 doesn't have.
Almost 90K in Browsermark?
Impressive, very impressive. Even the fastest high-end Android phones (e.g. Galaxy S II) only score ~60K in Browsermark, and most high-end Android phones (Tegra 2, TI OMAP) only score ~50K in Browsermark.

Can I give Siri commands in French but have it still transcribe American English?
They really need to get on this.

My Benchmarks:
iPad 2 running 5GM
92,724 in BrowserMark.
1819ms in Sunspider
That means the iPhone 4S is running only very slightly slower. Thats pretty incredible.

Raise to speak is cool, but I would l would prefer to be able to name my assistant and then summon it by name to wake up.
Well it's just using the screen off sensor so presumably it activates siri when it's covered... so you could poss just cover the sensor with your hand? Or maybe it only works if the sensor phone is upright+Sensor covered?
For me it's like the rotation lock switch on the ipad - which they changed to be mute. Which was pointless as you can long hold (1-2 seconds) the volume down to mute. After people complained they changed it so you can choose what the switch does.
Why they don't have a more more advanced gesture control I don't know?
Shake to have seri listen? A lot more sense than shake to shuffle! Hated having songs change as you are walking down the stairs!

OOoooh really... Do tell... how do you know...

Just looked at the video again.
It's not clear about the raise to listen... may just mean that lifting it up vertically activates it - using the motion sensor.
I kind of hope that in future updates to the Siri Software that they allow new voices to be used, just like in a Tom Tom or other GPS device. I really want Jeremy Clarkson as my personal assistant. I know the current voice is computer generated so its probably a quite a few years off, but I think it would be nice....
Who would you like as your personal assistant?

I think the truely amazing thing is how the iPhone 4 with its single core A4 had a benchmark of 28K with iOS 4 and jumped to 51K with iOS 5. With iOS 5, the iPhone 4 benchmark is right up there with the high-end dual core Android phones. Goes to show that hardware specs don't mean much if the software is not optimized properly.
Firefox Home has been available on iOS for about a year now. The benchmark was made using iOS 5 so the benchmark, in part has something to do with the optimizations made to the OS. Also, you are confusing OS X with iOS. Firefox 5/6/7 runs on OS X.

It is clear how he got it...
"It's not clear how this person obtained their iPhone 4S."
If you notice, the carrier is China-Unicom. The iPhone is made in China. Now that the iPhone 4s is public, I am sure people are being more free with them. And giving that they are shipping today from China to make it to the States for Friday, it is very evident....

That's an iOS 5 change. They split the iPod app into Music and Videos to be more consistent with the iPod touch.
That would make Steve live forever in a way.
But even now whenever I use my iPod and enjoy its ease of use and the way it feels in your hand I have to think of Steve and how he has personally approved all the little details and how he had the very same model in his own hands. And for a second or two I get sad again.
Sorry Siri. You lose hands down.
This came on a friends Galaxy S2. It is awesome. You have to admit.

Actually, I'm fairly certain that idea came from the iOS Google Mobile application
HTC Sense's internal name?
