Apple’s Oct 4 keynote

Was really sick all day so I thought I would take this time to catch up on the Apple Keynote from Oct 4th, with that being said without Steve Jobs the presentation didn’t have the same feel as previous keynotes did.  The new ceo also seems more retail orientated then Steve was and is more focused on expanding the company worldwide and gaining profits which kinda sucks when Steve was more about the technology and how the everyday person will benefit from using it.

With that being said this was one of the most amazing updates they had, the Iphone 4s could of been called the Iphone 5 with all the upgrades in it.  Even though the appearance was exactly the same the real upgrade was the specs, an upgrade in megapixels, hd camera, phone antenas, battery life and the A5 chip enhanced the speed and capabilities of what the iphone 4 should of been able to do from the start.  Now face time will be clear, videos will be clear and make the pocket camera a disposable as this phone competes with it.

The biggest update although was the voice recognition which was first shown to us back in the release of the iphone 3g, now your iphones “humble assistant” Siri as stated by apple will help you with your day to day objectives.  First off Siri is capable of recognizing speech patterns that aren’t of proper dialect but it gets better as Siri has Artificial intelligence and will keep track of who people in your lives are like molly in this instance was his wife.  Siri will learn about you as time passes.  It is also capable of setting up reminders, sending messages, schedule meetings, finding information (like soul food restaurants in NY), search/look up information for you and much more.  The only thing with Siri is that it is a beta as of now which means their is only a few things you can ask it right now but in time it will get better like most of Apples applications.

Hopefully with the passing of Steve Jobs Apple can still enhance technology every year the way I and many people have come accustom, although it will be large shoes to fill from an amazing visionary.  Even Disney had to move on and hopefully like disney, apple can make the creator proud.
