Siri vs. Cortana – Happy Anniversary (Commercial)
I’ve recently been seeing this commercial from Microsoft about their Siri competitor, Cortana. Although I’m pretty sure I’ll never buy a phone from Microsoft (And I know no one that has one), this feature is really nice. Now I’m not sure how it works in real world scenarios but this seems impressive. Like Google Now, it adapts to your schedule, location, traffic and other information to make your life easier.
Apple is behind on this one. There are location based tasks and Siri is really good at what it does but it doesn’t really seem to be getting much better lately.
It needs to take a real leap to get ahead. What do you think? Also, according to the comments, the real Cortana voice doesn’t sound like that.
iOS 7: Calendar
Apple’s Calendar app has a very fresh new look.
Almost too fresh. I really don’t like the use of so many circles throughout the OS. You’ll see it more later in other iOS 7 apps we review. The Calendar app is very white, like many other of the iOS apps. The current day is highlighted with a red dot and days that have events have small grey dots below the date.
Navigation is much easier when you get the hang of it. The year view is pretty sweet too! Check it out in the screenshots below.
iOS 4.3 Untethered Jailbreak [Video]
As I mentioned yesterday, the Dev-Team had informed us that i0n1c had a 4.3 untethered jailbreak ready for when the new iOS was released.
Today, i0n1c posted a video demo of the iOS 4.
3 untethered jailbreak. There has been no word from the Dev-Team on when the jailbreak will be available. For now, it is being labeled an “alpha” release.
Below is the demo video done on an iPad running iOS 4.3.

Google Rolling Out Ability to Edit Google Docs via Mobile Browser [Video]
When I heard that Google had announced that, in the next few days, they will be rolling out the ability to edit Google docs from the mobile browser… I have to admit that my ears perked up. I know this might seem totally old school but I use Google docs for my grocery list (I know! There are a ton of apps in the App Store for grocery lists but I can’t help it… I always go back to Google docs). Anyway, I would LOVE (LOVE, LOVE… did I mention LOVE) to see an easier way edit my Google docs while out and about. Though, after checking out the demo video, I’m not sure if this is going to be the improvement I was looking for. I guess I will have to wait and see what I think about the new feature. Honestly I would just like to see an official Google Docs app in the App Store. Below is more info about the new Edit feature including a demo video (done on a droid!!).

They have now released a second demo video that shows them playing Labryinth 2 on the giant 58″ multi-touch screen! Check out the demo video below.
Table Connect – 58″ Multi-Touch iPhone Table [Demo Video]
In Episode 24 of i101… we talked about Table Connect. Table Connect is basically an application that allows you to connect your iPhone to a Multi-Touch surface which then allows you to control both the iPhone and the Multi-Touch surface. As we mentioned in i101, they had a countdown on their website until the release of a demo video. Well, the demo video has been released… a 58″ Multi-Touch iPhone table… pretty cool. Check out the demo video below.
