iphone Thread - Part 2

Oh, well if they don't bring it to IPad(2), that's a massive blunder, IMO.

It should be on both, the 'real time' synching between the two units would be perfect.

 

[red+black]

I don't think there's any technical reason why Siri wouldn't be compatible with the iPad 2.

 

[King Elvis]

Sounds like it needs the grunt of the A5 chip, which the IPad2 has.

Will be interesting to see if the IP4 can hack it though...

Don't think there is much doubt jailbreak will find a workaround.

"Where's the closest pissa?"

"Calling Peter"

Well there is one good one to come out of it.

Tell Siri you're drunk, it'll find the phone numbers of cab companies for you.

But as for understanding the AUstralian accent, etc, appears right now that you have to make sure for example the phone is set to Australian English. So it appears to be reginonalized a fair bit.

I Guess the intersesting thing with Siri is, that it requires an internet connection to work, that one I'm not so sure on, thinking it may be a flaw. Some of the speculation has been that part of Apples data centre is dedicated to Siri translations, and being able to pick up on accents. As it learns more on different accentsm, the data centre can adapt easily.

Downloading iOS5 now

 

[red+black]

I can recommend NOT updating to iOS5 just yet. At least wait until America is asleep.

Why is that?

I downloaded iOS 5 in about 6 minutes this morning.

 

[red+black]

sick video of iOS5. Dude covers everything, many things I never knew of. He spends like 2 seconds on each feature. And he's already JB'd.

Only thing stopping me is that my phone was originally locked, so I got it jailbroken. If I upgrade, it will stuff up the jailbreak yeah?

Yeah upgrading will whipe the jailbreak. There is a tethered jailbreak for ios5 but it's best to wait for untethered.

So...has anyone bought a 4S yet?

 

[Scully2Folau]

No, but I have successfully been mind-****ed into thinking I have a new phone with iPhone4+iOS5.

I picked mine up this morning. Haven't got around to setting it up yet.

iMessage is pretty cool. Should make whatsapp redundant.

 

[grimlock]

I would love to hear your opinions on Siri. I'm reading that the only place for location-based questions is the US which is very disappointing.

Thought so, might wait then. Thanks for that

Looking around a few forums, it's been working rather well with the Aussie accent, with a fwew slip ups. Sadly, on the location based questions (businesses etc) is US oinly atm, a little disapointing for sure.

How long was the line? I'm guessing it was a lot shorter than the line for the iPhone 4 what with all the disappointed people not getting their iPhone 5 this year.

I got there at about 9:30 expecting it to be bedlam, and there wasn't another customer in the store. I was quite surprised.

I agree. iMessage is fantastic. My manager was able to send me a text message from his wifi iPad, and he could do that by putting my mobile, my work email or my gmail in the To field. And I was able to send him an iMessage back to his iPad.
