Siri for iPad
This is the primary goal for Apple Developers. Bring Siri to iPhone 4, so users don't have to upgrade their mobile phones. Few weeks ago, we discovered that this operation was successfully made, but it makes iPhone 4 less fast and it do not communicates with Apple Servers to obtain better answers. Today, the Siri for iPhone 4 was enhanced, and is really fluid, not affecting iPhone 4 speed. But, always can't communicate with Apple Servers...
Apple just unveiled iOS 5 at the last WWDC. Like usually, it is the world's most advanced mobile operating system, but it is also the biggest leap Apple have taken since its existence with iOS. Here's our partial review of iOS: (We'll progress like Scott Forstall did in his keynote).
iOS main features
1- Notification Center
It is just incredible. Before, when we receive notifications, they were posted in the lock screen (nice but not really) and when we unlock the iPhone it is not persistant. Now, we have a "sexy" list right from the lock screen. We can swipe directly any item we want to open, and iOS 5 takes us directly to the app. If the iPhone was unlocked, a white bar appears in the top of the screen and disappears few seconds after. It's really convenient. And, an Android-like feature, you can swipe anywhere, anytime form your iPhone, and access Notification Center. Beautiful but addictive at the same time.
Apple unveiled iOS 5 at WWDC (WorldWide Developers Conference) and this post can teach you how to install iOS 5 on your iOS device.
Please notice that to install iOS 5 beta 7 you officially must be an Apple Developer and you must know a minimum of geek computer manipulations. (Using some codes for example). If you get any problem related to this, note that we will not be responsible, in any cases. You must know what you are doing. This is why this post is dedicated to geeks only.
First: You must download iOS5 beta7:
iPad 1 (669.66 MB): Multiupload (direct download)
iPad 2 (Wi-Fi, 677.89MB): Multiupload
iPad 2 (GSM, 685.17MB): Multiupload
iPhone 3GS (609.2MB): Multiupload
iPhone 4 (GSM, 730.2MB): Multiupload
iPod Touch 3rd generation (578.16MB): Multiupload
iPod Touch 4G (717.74MB): Multiupload
And you must also download iTunes 10.5 beta version, if you do not have it: Mac OS X, Windows 64 bit, Windows 32 bit.
When you installed iOS 5 beta and iTunes 10.5 beta, iTunes warns you that the device is not registered yet. Then go to this device by connecting by SSH (or afc2) and then go to this address:"/ System / Library / CoreServices /SystemVersion.plist" and delete these two lines:
Release Type
Beta
And now you can enjoy :)
