Handsets running on the Windows Phone platform have been very popular recently. Helping push sales are their ability to integrate completely with an exchange account, an amazing turn-by-turn navigation app and a beautiful WVGA screen. There are other features aimed at entertainment such as Xbox LIVE compatibility and what they call Live Tiles.
Have you ever wondered how strong your iPhone signal really is? Sure you can count the number of bars on your screen, but it’s not really specific.

Just yesterday, we published a post discussing not one, not two but four new plugins for Siri Proxy that allowed the texting of messages through Google Voice (instead of just the stock Messages.app), powering on a Wake On LAN computer, controlling iTunes and launching of any program through custom Siri commands. Today, we came across an all new plugin which lets user control parts of their room through Siri. Check it out after the jump!
It's one of the most exciting parts of a new iOS beta being seeded to developers, and people just love digging around for it. "It" is any kind of reference to a new iDevice or Apple TV hidden inside the latest betas to ship out of Cupertino, and iOS 5.1 beta 1 has thrown up a few interesting tidbits already.
Apple has just seeded the first beta version of iOS 5.1 for iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 2, iPad 1, and iPod touch to the registered developers of iOS Dev Center.

Android is being portrayed as the smartphone operating system for those that like to push boundaries, be their own people and not conform to the usual rules, and there may be some truth to that if a recent report about how they treat security is anything to go by.
It was of relative disappointment when the buzz circulating around the Web of Apple's purported redesigned iPhone 5 turned out to not be the massive upgrade consumers were waiting for.
Apple certainly made a splash with the release of Siri, even though it is in some sort of beta flavored flux.
