The commercial video show’s Santa Claus seeking Siri’s help to deliver the Christmas gifts around the world. The TV ad starts with Santa asking Siri locations to a house, after which Siri is shown displaying the directions with the help of the iOS Google Maps application.

On a funnier note, it appears that Santa has grown a bit too lazy over the years. Otherwise, what is the need for him to ask the weather in Cleveland, and that too in winter?

However, we’re glad Santa is not overtly selling the iPhone because on the Apple website it shows the iPhone 4S shipping in 1-2 weeks which won’t make it in the nick of  time for Christmas.

He also searches an email with his “naughty or nice” list when “Go easy on the cookies,” says a message in the ad from Mrs. Claus, read aloud to Santa by Siri on his iPhone 4S. When he asks how her day looks like, Siri replies she has 3.7 billion appointments to make it to, rounding up Santa’s use of the iPhone 4S in the Apple TV ad (embedded below).

Apple iPhone 4S TV Ad – Santa Claus Uses Siri Voice Assistant

Naturally, Siri has been become a focus point for Apple’s iPhone 4S advertising. Siri only officially works on the iPhone 4S, but many iPhone 4 owners have been looking for ways to port the application over to their phones.

Meanwhile, hackers have been busy at work trying to port Siri to iOS devices other than the iPhone 4S and in fact, a group of Hackers have already claimed to have cracked Apple’s Siri to run on Android or Other Gadgets.

The commercial reminds us of Apple’s Santa-based Facetime Ad of last winter. Along with this on-going Siri commercial, Apple is airing new iPhone 4S camera and iCloud ads too.

But when everyone else is wishing to receive an iPhone 4S this holiday season, here is our Apple Siri Wish List – Top 10 Most Wanted Features that would make Siri Super-Awesome.

If you haven’t heard already, What Siri is Saying is the new hilarious blog collecting the best responses to questions and commands made to Siri, the voiced operated personal assistant exclusive to the iPhone 4s.

The site is set up so that users can upload their own contributions, vote for their favorites and comment on other people’s submissions. There’s also a leader board that shows the entries that have received the most votes.

What Siri is Saying apparently aims to uncover as many Siri Easter Eggs as possible, as well as any funnies and oddities it’s tiny robot mind blurts out. Users can submit their Siri screenshots, vote and comment on their favorites and even win big.

Siri is a voiced operated personal assistant exclusive to the iPhone 4s. You can ask Siri to perform a wide range of actions on your phone such as; send a text, set an alarm, get a definition or even use it to Google. The What Siri is Saying blog uncovers those hidden Easter Eggs the cheeky developers at Apple have hidden within the digital personal assistant.

They’re offering £100 worth of Amazon vouchers to the winner! All you need to do, is put forward your Siri submission, and get as many votes as possible, so that you’re at the top of the leader board by Friday 2nd December at 13.00 GMT.

So what are you waiting for? Get chatting to Siri and find those hidden Siri gems. You never know, soon you might be asking: “Siri, what should I buy from Amazon?”

Siri Hacked: Apple’s Voice Assistant Cracked, Could Run On Android

To validate their claims, they have released a collection of tools that, according to them, can be used to build Siri-enabled applications on devices that were never authorized to offer the proprietary Apple feature. The tools, written in the Ruby, C, and Objective-C languages.

Deciphering Siri’s security Protocol

These are the result of painstaking sleuthing into the way Siri communicates with a remote server Apple dedicates to the service. The hackers were apparently able to decipher Siri’s security protocol by setting up their own custom SSL certification authority and adding it to their iPhone 4S to find out the commands that Siri sends to Apple’s official servers.

Turns out Siri uses TCP to speak to a server at 17.174.4.4 using port 443. Applidium then logged on to a desktop computer, entered in that IP address, and realized that Apple was returning a server named “guzzoni.apple.com” and that Siri was using HTTPS as its protocol.

Putting it simply, the group then created a fake guzzoni.apple.com address and tricked Siri into sending commands there instead of to Apple’s own server.

Finally, after the  painstaking process of trying to understand it, decompressing the data they were able to decipher the audio file being sent to the server and match it with the code that represents Siri’s understanding of the clip.

But it also means that the chances of someone using the findings to mass produce a Siri app for unauthorized devices is slim, since the hack requires a valid iPhone 4S unique identifier to be sent to the server. That means Apple could easily revoke identifiers that are used an abnormally high number of times, or from an abnormally high number of different locations.

Apple’s server still checks that the device it’s communicating with has a unique iPhone 4S identifier. Unless someone figures out how to forge those identifiers, pirating Siri on another device will require already owning an iPhone 4S or knowing someone who does.

And since Apple might detect and ban iPhone 4S identifiers used for bootleg Siri applications, the trick might put whatever legitimate iPhone 4S whose identifier you’ve borrowed at risk.

On the bright side though, if the hackers’ trick can be reproduced, expect Siri to give birth to some interesting voice-recognition off-springs in the near future.

Let’s see how long it’ll take Apple to change their security scheme before someone comes up with an Android device running Siri.

Apple’s virtual personal assistant for the iPhone 4S, Siri, has been creating a stir among tech enthusiasts and is by far one of the company’s greatest accomplishments. Many other companies have tried and failed earlier with voice-powered operating systems, but Apple owes full credit for creating a comprehensive, helpful, and even funny artificial intelligence (AI) tool that adds a brilliant new feature to the already awesome iPhone experience.

On their website, Apple describes Siri this way:

“Siri on iPhone 4S lets you use your voice to send messages, schedule meetings, place phone calls, and more. Ask Siri to do things just by talking the way you talk. Siri understands what you say, knows what you mean, and even talks back. Siri is so easy to use and does so much, you’ll keep finding more and more ways to use it.”

And to be honest, Siri delivers and once you start using it, there is no turning back. It’s already incredible what Apple’s virtual personal assistant Siri can do: Siri can write and send texts and e-mails, dictate notes, set alarms and reminders, call friends, answer difficult and context-sensitive questions, play songs and surf the Web. But at the very same time, she has the potential to do a lot  more.

Here is a list of top 10 things we’d wish to see Siri do at the next:

1. Siri with a better text-to-voice:

While most of us would agree that Siri is already good enough, it can be improved… a lot. The current voice is so last century! And a more ‘natural’ human-like voice would make Siri so much fun to use.

2. Siri could read information on-demand:

Who wouldn’t love to hop in the car and tell Siri to read the top news headlines of the moment?While we are at it, it would be great if we had a configuration panel to select the types of news headlines we are interested in (e.g. Worlds News, Economy, Politics, Sports, Technology, Gadgets, Science Etc…)

3. Siri could call 9-1-1 Emergency:

If you ask Siri to, “Call 444-3535.” it will start dialing the number for you. But, if you say “Call 9-1-1,” Siri starts dialing the number, and then responds back, “I’m sorry, I cannot call 9-1-1.” What is more weird is that, if you ask “Call the police,” Siri starts calling 9-1-1, but then responds with the same message saying that it can’t dial that for you. This is a super-huge disappointment. Perhaps, Apple has blocked Siri from calling 9-1-1 for liability reasons, but to not be able to use Siri to call 9-1-1 during an emergency is such a shame!

4. Siri could change iPhone 4S Settings:

It is no more a mystery that iPhone 4S  lacks SBSettings. It would greatly help if Siri could “Turn off WiFi” or “Reduce brightness” on user’s voice command.

5. If Siri had better listening capabilities:

Agree or not, right now, Siri is NOT a great listener all the time.  Of course, she can listen to ‘natural languages’ but she still struggles often with popular acronyms, common foreign language words, more-than-average background noise and certain voice commands. For instance, if you ask Siri to call you an ambulance, Siri will reply, “OK. From now on, I will call you ‘An Ambulance.’ What the hell? In the time it takes you to leave all hopes on Siri and and start over manually, you may have died due to heart attack!

6. Siri could read emails:

It’s a mystery why Siri can read/write text messages (SMS), but while Siri can write an email message, it can’t read an email! It would be awesome if Siri was able to search emails and read specific ones as per your command.

7. Better Social Media Integration:

Siri can call, text and e-mail for you, but can’t post to Facebook or Twitter, despite Apple’s claim that iOS 5 would have “deep Twitter integration.” It would be nice to have Facebook and Twitter streamlined directly into the Siri OS, given that the two social media platforms are two of the most-used apps for any smartphone user.

8. If Siri could reserve Restaurant tables for me:

The original Siri app had integration with OpenTable to check restaurants for reservation availability; not so with the current version of Siri on the iPhone 4S – leaving us to wonder why Apple decided to take away the awesome capability out of Siri! Wouldn’t you be thrilled to be able to reserve tables at your preferred restaurants by asking Siri something like this – “Make a reservation for two at Tamayo for 7:45 Friday evening“?

9. Health Care Integration:

Imagine having Siri integration with apps such as WebMD, and being able to hold a conversation about symptoms before getting a list of possible conditions. Or asking what the side effects of a certain drug are, and having Siri read back a list of those effects. Cool, right?

There are not enough doctors to do the work that needs to be done, but Siri could potentially change that. IBM’s Watson supercomputer has this technology but not for consumer use.

10. Shopping, on-demand Movies and Music:

How about being able to shop online with Siri? Imagine how nice it would be if Siri could automatically find the lowest available price for whatever you’re looking for. Extending this idea further, for a fun evening you might want to buy tickets at a local movie theater.

Adding the ability to pick a movie time by asking “What time is ‘Real Steel’ playing near here?” and getting a choice of times, then saying “5:30 show at the Express Avenue, and I need two tickets” to have Siri purchase those tickets would be a time saver. While we are at it, how about some sort of IMDB interface?

Siri can play any music genre, playlist, or artist, but it’s paused the next time you activate Siri to give it another command, even if you just want to play the next song. Also, if you’re in a mixed playlist, there’s no way to tell Siri to play more songs by the artist you’re listening to. Being able to fully accommodate the user’s listening experience would be a key improvement in Siri.

What are some of your ideas for “serious” integration of Siri into your daily life? Leave your comments below.

The iPhone 5, expected to drop in September, could have more features than previously thought. Here we present you the list of expected features in iPhone 5. However, do realize that this list is based on insider knowledge from people actively working on the upcoming iPhone 5 but the final product  obviously may or may not include ALL of these:

Is This What to Expect in The iPhone 5?

Dual Core Processor is Coming:

We have seen a bunch of phones powered by Multi Core Processors lately. And I would like to think that Steve (Apple) Jobs wouldn’t want to launch iPhone 5 with an outdated processor behind it. According to reliable sources, Apple have been planning for the successor of A4 processor from the iPhone 4. Yes, you heard absolutely right! We are talking about a faster processor based on Cortex A9 design and it may be named as A5 processor when iPhone 5 launches.

The buzz is that Apple will unleash the gaming performance and speed of A5 chip in the upcoming iPhone model. The A5 processor is the same chip that Apple rolled out to power its iPad 2.

Sleeker Design and Vivid Media:

Apple have always been the best in terms of looks and display performance. Expecting the same here, Apple is likely to upgrade their Graphics and Video Processor called as IGPU (rumored). It is going to be a great news for the Movie and Game maniacs (like me) who are waiting to have Apple iPhone 5 in hand. Also expect an ultra-thin iPhone 5 design!

Bigger Display Size:

Gone are the days when people using cell phones with 3 inches display felt cool about it. Apple has to go for the upgrade; in terms of a bigger iPhone 5 display screen as compared to its predecessors. And as per our sources, Apple is opting for a 3.75 inch screen this time rather than jumping straight to the 4.0 inch screen.

However, an image published by a Chinese reseller of Apple parts showed what looked like the digitizer panel of iPhone 5. If the image is authentic then the new iPhone will have a 4 inch display but within the same encasement, made possible by a technology that extends display over to the edges of the phone.

New and Trouble-Free Antenna:

Who can forget the nightmare Apple had about the antenna issue in iPhone 4 right after it was released? You should learn from your mistakes; and Apple must have learned by now. Sources reveal, Apple has moved the Apple logo on the back just to accommodate the newer and much better reception capable antenna.

3G Vs 4G:

Recently, cell phones supporting 4G network have been making news; e.g. Nexus 4G, Samsung Galaxy S 4G to name a few. Apple would never want to left behind in the race of 3G-4G spectrum. Hopefully, Apple would support 4G in their next iOS phone.

Higher Resolution Camera:

With mobile phones like Nokia N8 boasting an 8MP camera, Apple’s 5MP camera may appear out of date if not pathetic. According to sources, Apple may opt for an 8MP camera with  1080p video recording when they bring iPhone 5.

Apple is expected to have done the market analysis quite well before starting the iPhone 5 project. Apple has to do all these upgrades so as to keep their place safe in the competition.  There have been a lot of expectations from Apple and hopefully they should live up to the expectations. After all, With great Power comes great responsibility. Ahh wait; did I forget to tell you that iPhone 5 could be charged with your heartbeat, powered by nano-generators?

Nevertheless — What is the iPhone 5 launch date? It is the most frequently asked question in the tech world. The unreleased iPhone 5 has caused quite the stir as of late, and considering the speculation and facts at hand; the fervor may be quite warranted. The iPhone label and in turn all the products; iPad, iPod, etc. have become the driving force of the newly rejuvenated company we’ve always known as Apple.

Apple iPhone 5 Rumors – Hype Or Fact?

The simple fact is this popular and revolutionary phone changed many things in regards to technology; today Apple is striving to mirror that initial recent success and compete with the competitors fueled by its own innovations. The new iPhone 5 claims to be another innovative unit to separate Apple again from its competitors and entice many consumers into switching their cell phone plans.

There are key additions and smaller but simpler additions to make the experience more enjoyable. The iPhone 5 should be out later this year; most are saying the release will be in September or soon thereafter. There is really so much information out there, that even with a considerable amount of research it is still quite difficult to separate speculation from fact.

Some things still seem to be more probable than not; Apple is rumored to be increasing the screen size to four inches opposed to the previous 3.7 inches seen in earlier models. The look and feel of the phone is also going to change; Apple is reverting back to the original aluminum backing and is also addressing the antenna issues many experienced Apple users have long been complaining about since the earlier editions of the iPhone 4.

iPhone 5 Feature List:

The new iPhone 5 is supposed to run on a dual processor, setting it apart from the competition. The most basic iPhone 5 unit will provide a 32 gig hard drive to store data on, while a 64 gig option will be available to consumers as well. The new iPhone screen is not merely larger; Apple has also finally decided to make the screen shatter proof on this newest edition.

The iPhone 5 will run on AT&T’s new 4g network in the US, providing faster speeds for larger apps, face time, better sound, picture and video etc. The camera will be even more impressive than the iPhone 4 with rumors amid there is a newly added facial recognition feature for security purposes.

The new iPhone 5 overall is rumored to be sleeker (ultra-thin), more durable and seemingly more efficient. The backside of the iPhone 5 will be most likely constructed of either aluminum or carbon fibre.

The speakers will be louder, the battery life will last longer and powered by nanogenerators could be recharged with your heartbeat and the phone itself will provide more features to the iPhone user. The iPhone 5 will have a bigger, clearer, more vivid HD screen and the facial recognition feature will surely make this phone stand out from its competitors.

Guest Author: This is a guest article by Spencer Hogg from Cell Phone Expert where lots of different cell phone plans can be compared.

It was a moment with mixed feelings when Steve Jobs introduced iCloud to the world at Apple’s annual WWDC [Worldwide Developers Conference] in San Francisco. As he introduced Apple’s long-awaited iCloud service and platform, Jobs noted how the act of synchronizing multiple devices has “broken down” of late.

Noting that devices have changed over the past decade, with people now using photos and videos on the go, the PC should no longer be the hub for your digital life, with all media hosted on the computer. “Keeping these devices in sync is driving us crazy,” Steve told the crowd.

What is iCloud?

To address the new reality, Apple Inc. has moved the digital hub to the cloud. iCloud stores your music, photos, apps, calendars, documents, and more. And wirelessly pushes them to all your devices — automatically. It’s the easiest way to manage your content.

All iOS devices can talk to the cloud whenever they want, with instant propagation to all other devices. With iCloud, users get 5GB of free storage for mail, documents and backups; purchased music, apps and books don’t count.

iCloud completely replaces MobileMe. Mail, contacts, and calendar are all free. Contacts and calendars will be updated across devices, just like they currently do, but there are several new components to iCloud.

“Some people think a cloud is just a hard disk in the sky,” Steve told the crowd. “We think it’s way more than that.” iCloud stores content (think contacts, calendar, photos, music), with wireless push to all devices. And with APIs providing developers with hooks into iCloud, all apps can take advantage of the service.

However, bandwidth constraints are still a huge challenge. So with content like movies, which require so much space, we’ll have to see what happens. But just starting with documents, cloud computing will fundamentally change how we write and collaborate on projects.

Will iCloud ‘Legitimize’ Music Pirates?

Interestingly, Apple’s new cloud music service has been heavily criticized by some of the big players from the music industry for supposedly encouraging piracy by allowing people to essentially legitimize their pirated music collections.

But we don;t think Apple will be condoning piracy and it’s better for the labels to have a transparent system run by Apple than some nefarious P2P site. Besides, what pirate would bother uploading their collection to a cloud when they probably already have an iPod full of the music anyway?
