When Apple announced the iPhone 4S a couple of weeks ago, they announced that a select few countries were set to get the new handset as early as the following week. While some were lucky enough to only have a week or so to wait in order to get their hands on the next iPhone, some were left to wait just a little bit longer.
I simply love the advertisements Apple releases for their products. The ads are short but pack enough punch to knock-out a world-class heavyweight boxer. OK, maybe that last part was a bit of a hyperbole, but I’m sure you get what I’m driving at. The company has released a new ad, the first for the iPhone 4S, called Assistant which showcases some of Siri’s best features.

While just about every new feature in iOS 5 is a welcome one, there are a handful which, well, aren’t all that welcome. Take the example of the updated Camera.app: in iOS 5 it only allows the pinch-to-zoom gesture for zooming in and out. This certainly works, but it is just isn’t as comfortable to pull off as double-tapping the screen and then moving a slider up/down.
The good folks over at Remember the Milk have managed to integrate Siri with their app. It uses CalDAV, an Internet standard for allowing a client to access scheduling information on a remote server. Follow the instructions below to get up to speed with Remember the Milk and Siri.
Despite Facebook's official mobile app having been installed on many a smartphone during the last couple of years, the social network still felt compelled to release a separate app to cater for the instant-messaging side of things back in August, appropriately entitled Facebook Messenger.
You may remember the post we made about Steve Jobs’ last project not being the iPhone 4S but instead being, possibly, the next iPhone 5. Well it has been confirmed that Steve worked on that project all the way until the day before he died.
