Siri understands a wide range of voice commands already, and the technology is bound to improve when third-party app integration is eventually implemented.
Now that everyone has had time to play with Siri on the iPhone 4S, interesting ideas are continuing to surface about how Siri could revolutionize certain markets. Siri has the potential to help drastically improve the 911 system in the US with location-aware and intelligent emergency alerts...
It's crazy what a thousand dollars worth of iPads, a Wi-FI connection, and a little bit of creativity can do. In this case, it can help create one of the best Halloween costumes we've seen yet.
The idea is to create a gaping hole in the torso using two iPads, one taped iPad on the front, and one taped on the back, then start a FaceTime conversation between them. The result is quite cool...

Mobile Terminal is an extremely handy tool to have if you're used to using a command line interface.
Unfortunately, the version that's still in Cydia has gone without an update for quite some time now, rendering it unusable on recent iOS firmware.
With this handy video tutorial, I'll show you how to get back in the game with Mobile Terminal on iOS 5...
It appears Apple's Mac OS X team is working on integrating two of iOS's biggest features into Mac OS X, with iMessage and AirPlay mirroring apparently in the pipeline.
According to 9to5Mac's sources, the Mac OS X team at Apple is currently working on ways to make both technologies part of a future Lion update, though there are no guarantee that the features will ever see the light of day.
iMessage in particular has been long rumored to be the replacement for iChat we've been waiting for, but AirPlay mirroring could potentially change the way presentations are given using a Mac...
While Apple's Photo Stream is a great way of getting photos to sync across multiple devices, there's one glaring problem. Photo Stream doesn't support video, presumably because Apple doesn't want its servers full of hours and hours of 1080p videos showing cats sleeping.
It makes sense from a technical standpoint, but that doesn't help you if you need to get a video from one device to another. There's syncing with iTunes, and doing the iPhoto jig in the hope that everything works as planned, but it's a pain, and not always practical.
That's where PhotoSync comes in...
Apple Stores are already considered trendsetters in the retail space. From their awe-inspiring architecture to their product-focused environments, the Cupertino company's world-wide chain has other retailers turning green with envy.
Now it seems like the Mac-makers are looking to start another fad: self-checkout. No, we're not talking about those big machines at your local Walmart. We're talking about customers paying for items using their iPhones without the help of a sales clerk...
If anyone doubted whether Samsung really meant business in its pursuit of total smartphone marketshare ownership, this one little tidbit to come of the company's earnings call might just help to put the record straight.
During a call to discuss Samsung's most recent financial results, the company's spokesman, Robert Yi, said that Samsung was working on a flexible display for its upcoming smartphones and tablets.
Surely all this is pie-in-the-sky stuff for Samsung, right? Wrong. Samsung hopes to introduce flexible displays to its smartphone lineup in as early as 2012...
With each new product release, Apple launches a whole new advertising campaign around whatever fancy new features have been added, and the iPhone 4S is no exception.
Starting today, Apple is airing three new ads to help spread the word about the "most amazing iPhone yet." The 30-second spots feature iCloud, Siri, and the supercharged 8 megapixel camera packed into the iPhone 4S. And in typical Apple fashion, we're not sure where real products end and the hype machine begins...
You're most likely familiar with the iOS hit game Fruit Ninja, in which your goal is to cut in half a variety of fruits that are being thrown at you while avoiding bombs.
But did you know that a movie is being made about the game? Well, that's not actually true. As far as I know, no one is planning to make a movie out of it, but that didn't prevent SAX Jewell and his friends from creating a Fruit Ninja trailer, and it is hilarious...
Color Profiles is a new jailbreak tweak from Ryan Petrich, which allows you to add custom color profiles to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Color Profiles comes bundled with 19 different custom color themes that let you to radically change the look of your iPhone's color palette and temperature.
Want to see just how crazy an iPhone can look with a simple change to its color? Check inside for the hands-on video...
The popular SemiTether jailbreak was updated to v0.9.1 this morning, and it's quite the update.
Working with Saurik, the team was able to fully incorporate the new mobile substrate, which allowed them to get rid of the daemon patching and restarting.
Mobile substrate now does all of the heavy lifting when it comes to the SemiTether. There's even an option to patch Safari to work in non-jailbreak mode now.
Perhaps most importantly, the new version of SemiTether will protect your iOS 5 Notification Center plugins...
