Husbands rejoice. You will never forget your wives birthday again with “Siri”, a voice controlled “Intelligent Assistant” that completes tasks based on “natural language” (words spoken as you would to another human, not a computer). Ask your phone to remind you it’s your wives birthday on January 25th and it will remind you on the preferred date. You can even ask it what the weather is like in your neck of the woods. It promises to revolutionize how we interact with our beloved iDevices.
iCloud will keep you organized. Photos, music and emails will sync across all your devices. You will never have an excuse to not return an email again. iOS 5 is the new version of Apple’s mobile operating system. It includes notification upgrades, a reminder system, new messages and deep Twitter integration.
