That's it! Faux AI is the most demeaning app I can conceive!

I can't believe Appoe did this. After seeing the demo I cancelled my order for the 4s.
Don't know if this post will post? Nothing seems to really work anyway.
And I am not a newbie to tech!!
just what I did not want...another button to push/touch to enter a command is all it is! Nothing really new....so there is an A5 processor. Big deal.
Still just a toy...lol.....disappointment ...disappointment...
Tomorrow I wipe this ipad2, give it away! ...sell all my Apple stock!
Bail on the Internet and wait for the real 21st century to begin....
Should be in about another 20 years...lol....

Can't believe Apple did this ...Siri is a joke..no worse, it is dismal!

I will not be back to this site again.....bye!
Get some help pal. You need to get over yourself and your obsession. What part of "artificial" in artificial intelligence do you not understand? I cannot tell if you are drunk posting or some fandroid posting on here to stir up trouble.

Nobody really cares if you buy a single apple product.

You canceled your preorder after seeing a feature that you don't have to use if you don't want to? What a maroon...:rolleyes:
 
That applemastertouch review is the worst Youtube review I've ever watched.

I saw my life flash past me while waiting for him to get to the meat....

I had always heard that meth really screws people up. Today, I found proof.


I do agree, i think if you have the iPhone 4 , this is quite a dull and unnecessary upgrade, i think if you managed to grab the siri app (why didn't anyone tell me of this before it became famous) before they pulled it, there is absolutely no point in upgrading. And even if you didn't, do you really need Siri?

I have had an iPhone since the beginning and this is the first time, I've never preordered. I feel quite sad but i think I'm going to go with Samsung Note or Nexus Prime, or perhaps a windows 7 phone. I don't mean to sounds selfish, as obviously very sad time for Apple with Steve Jobs passing on but you had 16 months to make a jaw dropping phone......which didn't happen.

I defo think apples IOS is more polished, and Siri is very impressive, but come on guys you are way behind the hardware market......

I think if Apple made it slightly bigger it would of sold twice as many......but sounds like they are already successful.

As of October 15th, it doesn't matter when or if you acquired the Siri app. It will be out of commission and that won't be changing. Siri can be quite convenient in situations where it isn't possible to type something out, but still pertinent that it be done. I probably won't use it much, but I can imagine there are some people who will find it to be a major convenience.

Some people, like myself, find the hardware's inner workings to be more important than whether or not the device itself has been given a makeover. The architecture of the iPhone 4 works for me and is beautiful. I don't need a crazy new design or a 4" screen. I'm certainly not going to jump ship over such little issues. I would rather a phone with better performance than anything else. Furthermore, my iPad is portable enough that if a larger screen is necessary, I have it.

Your argument is extremely petty. "EVERYTHING BUT THE DESIGN IS AWESOME! SO I'M SWITCHING." I wish I could understand how that made sense in your head. Apple has the most polished and intuitive user-experience and Siri has impressed you, but that's not good enough? You need a teardrop-shaped tablet phone, it would seem. So, yeah, all the power to you.

Personally, I'm in it for the 64GB. Had the 4S not been given 64GB of storage as an option, I would have needed a bit more swaying to spend $370 on it. But, being that they gave me a significant upgrade in an area that means something to me (in a technical and not superficial sense) I am able to base my purchase on that and see other plus points (improved processor, camera, etc.) as mere icing on the cake. Your cake, however, needs to be some sort of new, edgy, hipster shape that nobody knows the name of. Good on you...I guess (that's how ellipses work, by the way).

But when you come crawling back, please remember that you went out sounding rather foolish and be humbled for it.

Hey I'll take your iPad 2 since you are giving it away :D I think someone needs to take a deep breathe and calm down.
 
And here I was thinking how nice it was of him to demonstrate Siri.

He didn't really enlighten much about Siri that wasn't already known or demoed before, except for the "I love you" part. We've all seen the reminders, location finder and unit conversion stuff already. And he was talking very slow and robotic. What happens if I talk like I actually talk?

How about something a little more rigorous like "Schedule a 2pm appointment with Dean Baker every day of this week"?

"I love you"??? give me a break.

how dare someone releases a review that no one asked him or paid him to do in a foreign language instead of doing it in his own!

lets see how far u would get with a review in german

... some people :rolleyes:

AGAIN, its a freakin youtube video, its not like some big fancy publisher reviewed it and put it on their site. just because macrumors covers the news/video doesnt mean it needs to be AMAZING when at the same time there r hundreds of videos with people pooping on youtube.
 
Man can you imagine if they build this into ilife or iworks? OMFG! This is the new era of auditory programming and task management and creation. I can imagine being at work and asking for a spread sheet, numbering it etc.Damn!
 
Am I the only one that got some kind of a techno music track played over the video instead of his voice? I finally got it to work by rewinding/forwarding. Must be a youtube error.
 
I wonder how far the calculations can go...

For example, "What is the square root of 4, multiplied by 3?" or "How many quarters are in $20?"

Would have loved it for my math homework many years ago...

You can find out by asking Wolfram Alpha directly (typing the question in at their website or on the iOS app. :)

LOL, that's funny. Since you are in the New Mexico desert, wait outside tonight and the aliens will come and beam you up. That technology will not be possible on earth until iPhone 7. :D

There's a difference between seeing it in an advertisement, and then watching it hands-on. I was far more impressed watching Siri demonstrating by that slacker German than by that pitch-perfect advertisement with the jogging man and the blind female.

Could he have done better? Sure! Unfortunately since he hasn't, and you aren't satisfied, best would have been him never making the video. Best wait for those top-notch reviews that will surely spill out later on.

Actually, I prefer to watch this earlier on.
 
oh siri i love you hahaha i think siri is smart idea but needs time, also its the only thing that can make you sell ur iphone4 and buy an iphone 4s:p

Yeah, Siri is the only thing making people consider buying it if they have an iPhone 4 already. I'm sure the faster and more powerful processor and amazing new camera, plus the dual antennas for faster network connections have nothing to do with it.
 
Siri

After all these years you might think that a voice that does not sound like an old robot could be devised! How about recording thousands of the most common words and put those together with the spelling and syntax? Come on even the GPS voices are better now-still not great. Real voices recorded can be put together with computerized words that are not common-maybe record them in when needed to train it? Hello Apple!????

Maybe at some point, we'll be able to download extra voice packs for a small fee or something. Or someone will figure out a jailbreak that lets you record your own set of phonemes.
 
When will the Pico Iphone be launched

I have been waiting for ever for the pico version.I know they have been working on figuring out how to place a pico projector in the phone.

Thanks Casey Mahoney

You can know the answer to this right now, just type it into WolfgramAlpha. It didn't quite get me, but it got close when I was more clear:
