Siri updated for new best smartphone answer

When Apple released the iPhone 4S last year one of the unique selling points of the handset was its new Siri assistant feature, but the new feature hasn’t been without its problems though as it had issues understanding some accents and many features of it don’t work outside the US. Now Siri has been updated so it gives a new best smartphone answer to users.

A few days ago we told you that when Siri was asked what is the best smartphone ever, it surprisingly replied the Nokia Lumia 900, which as AppleInsider is reporting was based on just four user reviews that had an average score of 5 out of 5. The key word in the question was ‘ever’ as asking Siri for just the “best smartphone” would return responses such as “the one you’re holding”.

Pod2g updates on release of iOS 5.1 (.x) untethered jailbreak

We’ve been following all the developments of the exploits of well-known developer and hacker pod2g and his attempts to bring an iOS 5.1 untethered jailbreak. Today we thought we’d bring you the latest update on the progress of the iOS 5.1.x jailbreak, which is becoming closer every day and should be available within the next two weeks.
Previously we learned that pod2g had managed an untethered jailbreak on an iPhone 4S running iOS 5.1 and then a few days ago we told how he had now managed an untethered jailbreak on the new iPad running iOS 5.1. Later we then heard that the untethered jailbreak had also been successfully performed on iOS 5.1.1 as well. This of course has made many potential jailbreakers hopeful of a public release of the jailbreak real soon.
