Since arriving as one of the main features of the iPhone 4S and iOS 5, Siri has certainly had its ups and downs, and while some have manipulated it to detect brain waves and perform other weird and wonderful tricks, others have opted to sue Apple, disappointed by the poor performance of the system-wide voice recognition software.
The Siri intelligent personal assistant that ships with the iPhone 4S is undoubtedly an excellent inclusion on the device, but has managed to be received with split opinions since its launch last October.

With social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit and fun games like Dummy Defense just one or two taps away, it’s kind of difficult maintaining focus on more important but boring tasks like babysitting your kid brother while the folks are away or, preparing for an exam.
A new Android app promises to bring a little bit of Ice Cream Sandwich to those not actually using the latest version of Android. By bringing the Android 4.0 version of the Gallery app to all smartphones, the app offers a chink of light for those who may never get Android 4.0 on their own handsets.
It doesn't matter how much money we spend on buying the latest gadgets and owning the latest must-have pieces of technology. When it comes down to the nitty-gritty, everyone loves a bargain and the feeling of getting great value for money. That it especially true in the world of mobile apps.
