Apple World

As the hackers were on to it, yes the Siri to run on iPhone 4 but fortunately hackers also jumped on iPod touch 4 to run Siri on it which they accomplished succesfully. Steven Troughton-Smith the folk who showed up the first iPhone 4 running Siri on net which was not that stable but after a couple of hours he did it fine, it was working fine. Today he has completely revealed the comparison and showed up Siri working fine on iPhone 4. Below is the video

Well what about the iPod touch 4′s Siri.. We also showed you up the iPod touch running Siri but the Siri wasn’t speaking, after hack it was done plus not quiet good as its mic. is not that strong. Chpwn one of Cydia tweak developer with Steven successfully ported Siri on iPod touch 4 too, but you have to speak loudly to get Siti know. Below is the iPod touch 4 running Siri.
Now don’t ask that how can we do it.. because they have passed out the message that no ETA is said and it could be illegal so when the untethered jailbreak for iPhone 4S debuts then there could be an ETA described but nothing can be said now.
Mark Gurman, folk at 9to5Mac interviewed Steven Troughton-Smith about the ports and stuff.. Below is the interview

Mark: Where do you go from here with the port?
Steven: At this point it’s all about confirming this works across devices, making it reproducible (we got it working on two devices today), and documenting everything. It does require files from an iPhone 4S which aren’t ours to distribute, and it also requires a validation token from the iPhone 4S that has to be pulled live from a jailbroken iPhone 4S, and it’s about a 20-step process right now.
Mark: In its current state, is the port 100% functional, is there anything you would like to see work better?
Steven: Yes, it seems to be 100% functional. I’m working on the rough edges, but everything that works on the iPhone 4S seems to work here.
Mark: Do you ever see Siri showing up in Cydia (or another jailbreak store) for non natively supported devices?
Steven: No, I could not be a part of that. I have no doubts that others will package this up and distribute it quasi-illegally, or try and sell it to people. I am only interested in the technology and making it work; proving that it works and works well on the iPhone 4 and other devices.
Mark: So, you also got Siri working on the fourth-generation iPod touch, how is that working out?
Steven: We got chpwn’s iPod touch up and running with Siri after proving it works on my iPhone 4. Unfortunately the microphone on the iPod is nowhere near as good as the iPhone – you will notice that the Siri level meter hardly moves when you talk to it. While it does work, you have to speak loudly and clearly to the iPod.
Mark: How long did porting take you, what was the “I got it” moment?
Steven: Basically, I already had everything I needed to make it work. I had spent a lot of time mapping out in my head exactly how Siri works on the iPhone. All I needed was access to a jailbroken iPhone 4S to put my hunch to the test. It literally took no longer than 10 minutes to put all the pieces in place and perform our first test on my iPhone 4, and it was an instant success.

It appears that Apple is losing its glory of the World’s top smartphone selling vendor to the Korean based company and one of the biggest rivals of the Apple, Samsung. It is reported that Samsung had beaten the Apple in smartphone sales in the past Q3 quarter. Along with it is also reported by the analyst firm that China’s handset maker ZTE also beats the Apple in the production of smartphones, and become’s the world’s No. 4 mobile phones maker.
Apple was on No.3. From last three-months, but with the announcement of Q3 earning Apple reveals that they have actually broken the hopes of an analyst and lost their glory in front of other mobile manufacturers. In the start of year, Apple beat the Nokia and become the top-selling smartphone manufacturer but with the hearing of Q3 earnings, Samsung gained the title from Apple.

According to the earning reports, during Q3 ZTE shipped more than 18.5 million cell phones, , a jump from 14 million devices during the same period in 2010, research firm Strategy Analytics announced Thursday. At the same time, Apple shipped only 17.1 million iPhones, up from 14.1 million devices in the third quarter of 2010, but interestingly down from 20.34 million from the previous quarter of the year.
Researchers point out that Apple lost its glory due to a big gap in the introduction of the new device, and also the rumors of iPhone 5 had just destroyed the sales of the third quarter of this year. On the other side, ZTE and Samsung gain a lot of popularity among customers by their complex pricing on the introduction of new Android smartphones. However, Apple’s CEO Tim Cook claimed that “One of every six dollars the tech giant earned during fiscal 2011 reportedly came from China’s sales” while talking to the press reporters

iPhone 4S Siri has already given a deep shot on the Apple’s rival business, as the folks losing their patience to run it on their device, and because of the Apple strategy of limiting it only to the latest iPhone 4S hardware currently. It appears that some Android developers has copied the same concept and the same alphabets of the Apple’s iPhone 4S Siri to introduce the new clone app of Siri, “IRIS” app for the Android devices to provide them a virtual assistant. But how far it works?

It appears that large number of android users have already installed the application on their devices and started making buzz around the internet by making fun of its ugly behavior towards the owners of the device. The “IRIS” app is said to be developed in the 8 hours of work, which attracts more people to itself. The application is currently available in the Android Market for free. No doubt, Siri is an intelligent application and service of Apple on iPhone 4S, but this time Android developers tried to make something in very less time, but sigh… still copying the concept and the name concept of the original application.
IRIS for Android is not the first app there who provides the voice recognition and talking assistant features, there are several apps available in the Android Market, who provides the same functionality on the Android devices, but the IRIS is a bit different from all of them and works similar to the Apple’s iPhone 4S Siri. While the IRIS start making round on tech blogs, a user come up with a really ugly thing of the app which totally lies in the favor of Apple, in short at least saying the truth.

The user asked the IRIS on his Samsung Galaxy S II about the iPhone and the best device of the world, and the answer was a bit shocking for the user who holds the device, the IRIS believes that the Apple’s iPhone is the best device ever created till now. After spending couple of minutes with the application, we think the app will blow the Android reputation with its answers to the users.

Since the Apple has released the iBook for the iOS, we have seen it always comes up with some bugs on the arrival of jailbreak for the device. We have seen Apple has blocked the usage of iBook on jailbroken device such as many other app vendor tries to block their application access on the jailbroken iOS devices. Last week Apple has releases the iOS 5 and almost every third person had updated its device to the latest version of iOS and after the upgrade, most of them jailbreaked their device.

It appears that iBook does not work on the iOS 5 tethered or semi-tethered jailbreak due to Apple restrictions of app in the sandbox of iOS 5. The app immediately crashes on jailbroken iOS 5 device when user tap on its icon in the Springboard of the device. It looks like some infamous hacker has managed to fix the bug, just ahead of the Apple’s former CEO Steve Jobs first official biography launch. Many of the users wanted to run the iBook on their device to read the biography or other books but due to iOS 5 jailbreak they can’t run it on their device.

iBook Fix For iOS 5 Jailbreak iH8Sn0w, one of the most famous iPhone jailbreak hacker has just teased a video today on his official twitter account on which he shows the iBook running perfectly on the iOS 5 jailbroken device. iH8sn0w has managed to fix the sandbox error problem with Sn0wbreeze/redsn0w iOS 5 jailbreak, and make the application to run on iOS 5 jailbroken device. However, iH8sn0w says that he won’t release the fix for public since it’s not stable.
