iphone 4S - Check it out!!

I know what the whole world is thinking - "There's no iphone 5!!"

But you know what? I think the iphone 4S is pretty exciting too! For a non-iphone user, i was instantly attracted to the new Siri feature. It's a voice command/interactive software in the new iphone 4S. I feel as though we've officially stepped into the future. Remember those sci-fi outer space movies from the past? There were always some super mega smart giant computers on board the spaceship and they usually have names! You talk to the com and it will talk back. It gets you all (almost all) the information you want. All you have to do is ask! How cool is that?!

Imagine this in the future:
Me to Serene (the name of my iphone 4S in my head) : Find me a recipe for Beef Goulash.
Serene to me: Here it is. This is the recipe that has the most hits.
Me: Thanks.
Serene : You are welcome.

OR

Me: What is the weight of 1 cup of butter?
Serene: Do you want US or in metric?
Me: Metric please.
Serene: 1 cup of butter in metric is 240g.

OR

Me: When am i going to get attached?
Serene: Would you like me to check your bazi or zodiac sign?
Me: Bazi please.
Serene: According to xxx website, not in the near future.
Me: Will my chances increase if i go to the beach today?
Serene: Based on my calculations, your chances will increase by 0.045%. But bring an umbrella. It is going to rain in 4 hours and 33 minutes if you are going to Sentosa.

You get what i mean =) Here is the specs of the new iphone 4S from http://www.singaporeiphoneapps.com/iphone/iphone-4s-singapore-release-date/. Are you getting one? It's coming to Singapore on 28th October 2011.

On a sad note, Steve Jobs just died. Hope he is in a better place now. - Teh
