subject: All Iphone5 Latest News [print this page] Many people are anxiously waiting for the release of iPhone 5 and have hinted that there might be LTE support included in the newest version of its predecessor iPhone 4. If iPhone 5 gains LTE support, Sprint will be able to join AT&T and Verizon in supporting the latest iPhone. iOS 5 Beta 6 makes a speculation that their might be added LTE support in the near future according to testers who claimed that settings for this feature were found hidden inside of the iOS infrastructure. Verizon already offers LTE support and AT&T is gearing up to offer more phones with this feature as well.
Tech journalists descended upon Apples headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., on Tuesday for some iPhone-related announcements. Our updates from the event are below, with the most recent at the top.
Siri can schedule events in your calendar, read messages, take dictation, all by voice. You can create a reminder by voice. Remind me to call my wife when I leave work, says Mr. Forstall. Siri, based on previous conversations, knows who your wife is and uses geolocation to remind you when you leave a location. You can search Wikipedia by voice.
Apple has also linked up with Wolfram Alpha to provide data and definitions for Siri to access. Define mitosis, says Mr. Forstall. Siri generates and reads back a definition.
We are clearly headed to Terminator/HAL territory here. Humans are doomed. Deal with it. Mr Forstall asks Siri, Who are you? Siri replies, I am a humble personal assistant.
Thats just chilling. Jenna Wortham adds: Will this kind of personal assistant technology turn into the latest battleground between Apple and Google? Android has already baked several voice-recognition features into its software, including transcribing voice messages to text and letting users browse the Web using verbal commands. But Siri could help nudge the technology into the mainstream.
More voice recognition: Anywhere a keyboard appears on the phones screen, there will be a microphone button, so you can dictate anything. Siri will initially support English, French and German. It will be released in a beta version, with more languages and features added in time.
