Hands On iPhone 4S Video or What Happens If You Tell Siri "I Love You"

[bacaramac]

The one enhancement I hope Apple works towards implementing a more natural sounding voice for Siri. The computer voice drives me crazy, but I guess I can learn to deal with it. Friday can't come soon enough.

I agree but it still seems gimmicky and I know I can do some of those things they did quicker the old fashioned way...with my fingers! There was some editing for time during some of the demo which makes me wonder how quick it is at some tasks.

The point of this if for you to be able to do those things you normally do with your fingers during times you cannot (or should not be) using your fingers to operate your phone.

I want to see what Siri says if you ask it for the answer to life the universe and everything.

That is such a nerd question that I'd be disappointed if 42 wasn't programmed in. But sometimes Apple doesn't really like to let its Geek flag fly, so we shall have to see when we get our hands on it (or at least someone more imaginative than Goran gets his hands on it and posts to the web).

Yeah, this is the first time I've heard of a metronome app. And that seems like a pretty obscure type of app to be factory installed.

Maybe it came from the app store. I am doubtful it is part of iOS

this review is horrible lol but i guess its the best we can get. he kept calling features futures and called 1080p recording 180p lol oh man he is horrible. but again... he is the only one that got one early for now.

 

[zin]

Even more impressive considering this is only a beta version.

I can already see the MacRumors Forum thread starting for it...

Siri will be awesome when driving. Any other task it seems like it takes forever. Not sure how I feel about it yet.

Regardless of how you feel it's icing on the cake.

The "old" Siri iPhone app could answer it.

Oh how I wish Majel Barrett Roddenberry was still around so they could use her voice.

 

[tendicott]

This looks so cool. I cant wait to see if you can ask siri to tell you a joke. It works on speakable items on OS X so hopefully they will have implemented this in Siri as well.

How long until Apple gives you the option to purchase different voices for Siri...kind of like how you can purchase the Homer add-on for TomTom?

 

[kevinkt]

Siri is not only about making things faster! It's about having an assistant that u can talk to when ur hands are full ie. Driving,cooking,holding two things in ur hand!!!!

 

[aforty]

I've always wanted a British butler, can I switch the voice to that?

ikr Siri sounds like some angry wife

 

[Steve's Barber]

I hope you can turn off some of the needless dialog exchanges. It's like Sync in my car... Just give me the info.

Absolutely is (from the App Store, I mean), just found it with a quick search.

From the way he started the video, it seemed like he ticked a few people off in the past by pretending to review the 4S. Maybe making it seem like there is a hidden exclusive app isn't the way to get people back...

 

[KALLT]

This is really astonishing. Although I probably would not use Siri very often, I do think that it might come handy at many occasions. I hope that the JB community figures out a way to enable Siri on the iPhone 4.

Looks like that was a blunder. But it looks good, so I'll download it anyway...it's free...why not?

 

[WeegieMac]

Where did metronome come from? It's not in the GM of iOS 5, and I refuse to believe that it's 4S-only..

Never mind where did it come from, I'm asking what the hell the general public would need it for.

 

[nitro912gr]

I hope Siri will find "her" way to MacOS sooner or later.

It's the free steinway metronome app. http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/steinway-metronome/id393021343?mt=8

It's not factory installed as far as I'm aware. Not sure why he focused on it tbh, though as a musician I can say that it's a good app for free!

 

[mattpreston11]

one million orders and he ends up with one?

My nan could have done a better review than that.

Anyone notice he had iCloud activated?

 

[djrod]

Siri, Mac or PC? Coke or Pepsi?

 

[AjeeB]

I want it in my ip4
