CNET has released a video on YouTube about comparison between Siri and Google Now, they have pitted Siri and Google Now against each other in a live test. They tried to provide similar situation for both devices so they used same WiFi connection to ensure the internet speed test is fair.
After watching video it is very difficult to say which device is better then other, in my opinion each have their own pits and falls but I suggest iPhone 5 should get more votes but still it depends upon the use of each user.

Siri ‘Eyes Free’ Integration Coming To Chevrolet [Video]

When Apple unveiled iOS 6 – their latest generation mobile operating system at the WWDC 2012, it showcased “Eyes Free” – a feature that would allow users to fire up Siri using dedicated buttons on the steering wheel of a car. This would allow users to ask Siri questions without taking their eyes off the road.
At that time, Apple had announced that it was working with car manufacturers such as BMW, General Motors, Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover, Jaguar, Audi, Toyota, Chrysler, Honda to bring Siri ‘Eyes Free’ integration in the next 12 months.
After almost 5 months, General Motors has finally announced that it will be bringing the Siri ‘Eyes Free’ integration in its vehicles starting early next year. Chevrolet Spark (1LT, 2LT) and Sonic LTZ and RS will be the first cars to get the feature.
Here’s how it will work:
Through the cars’ standard Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system, customers with a compatible iPhone running iOS 6 can direct Siri to perform a number of tasks while they safely keep their eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel. To further minimize distraction, Siri takes hands-free functionality even further with an Eyes Free mode that enables users to interact with their iPhone using nothing more than their voice while keeping the device’s screen from lighting up.
Owners simply connect their iPhone with the MyLink radio via Bluetooth, pair with the system, and use the steering wheel voice activation button to begin and end sessions with Siri in Eyes Free mode.
In the Eyes Free mode, owners of these cars will be able to do the following:
- Make voice-activated, hands-free calls to Contacts on their iPhone
- Play songs in the iTunes library, and even switch music sources automatically from AM/FM/XM radio to iPod mode
- Listen to, and compose and send an iMessage or text message to a phone number or anyone in saved Contacts
- Access Calendar and add appointments
- Minimize distraction even more by keeping the screen of the iPhone from lighting up, even when Siri answers simple questions such as game scores or the dates of national holidays.
Control Your Lights With Siri

Imagine you are sitting in your bedroom and want to turn off the kitchen lights without going outside or with minimum movement using your idevice. There is a good news for such lazy people or technology lovers, Developer Brandon Evans has made this possible to control the Philips Hue light bulbs using SiriProxy.
Watch below video in which Brandon demonstrates how he is controlling the lights in his kitchen, he has also posted the code and instructions for everybody if they want to implement the same.
The first thing that I wanted to do with the Hue bulbs is get them working with Siri. I had seen last year someone created SiriProxy (in Ruby, luckily for me), and that it should allow me to do this. I’m actually using the The-Three-Little-Pigs fork as it has active developers, although I’ll continue to just call it SiriProxy. The other part of making this work was the Hue API. Philips has said that they want to release an SDK at some point, however quite a few people have sniffed the API already and gained almost full control of the system.
Watch below video and comment if you think this is an excellent idea.
In my opinion this new idea is excellent especially in this era of sustainability and energy conservation, people already are implementing the best lighting control strategies in modern buildings. Few days back we came across a new project in which it was reported that central London street lights will be controlled and monitored using the iPad. So we can say the iDevices are playing their role in every field of life.

Recently I posted one video showing the comparison between Siri and Google voice, and we saw that Google voice search proved to be more accurate and faster. If you are not happy with Siri performance or Sir is not able to understand your commands due to your speaking style, you can try the new tweak provided by Nick Frey and can be downloaded using the BigBoss repository so that means your device should be jailbroken to use Google voice instead of Siri.
This is a good news for iPhone 4, 3gs and iPod users if they want to enjoy the experience of Siri on iPhone4 or Siri on iphone 3gs they need to install this tweak and make some settings in activator and enjoy the Siri experience.
To use this tweak you must install the latest version of new Google search app.
have a look on below video for more.

Watch below video showing the live comparison of Google Voice Search and Siri, the video shows a clear difference and Google voice is being proved faster and accurate as compared to Siri.
If you compare and summarize the results from the above video, one can confidently say that the response of Google voice was dominating the Siri, the response time was very fast and accuracy of the information was also perfect except in one case. Google voice assistant also proved easy since it does not requires second input instead it provided the output whether it was the nearest to the desired one.
Siri On iOS 6.1 Will Facilitate Booking Cinema Tickets
November 5, 2012 By Muz Khan

Here comes another value addition to the Siri, famous voice assistant in iOS, as reported by 9to2mac the next version of the iOS i.e. ios 6.1 will be providing a new feature in coordination with Siri that will allow the users to book their tickets through Fandango or any other supporting cinema app. As stated users willing to purchase or book a movie ticket will search using Siri the movie he wants to watch in the local cinemas and Siri will provide him the results in details with the show times and a link to buy the ticket. Once the user will tap the link Fandango app will be opened inside the Siri, where users can buy a ticket and pay online. On the other hand if a user is using this feature first time means Fandango app is not installed the Siri will provide the option to install the app hence providing complete ease of use in one app window.
This is a great feature that will enhance the power of Siri and also will reflect the commitment of Apple for continual improvement in its products. The release of iOS 6.1 may not be expected very soon because just a couple of days ago iOS 6.0.1 was released with some bug fixes and improvements.
Based upon the expected or leaked feature as mentioned above we may expect many more Siri integration for common uses like tweeting and posting on other social media services has been added recently. The opening of Fandango app inside the Siri indicates that Apple can easily integrate other apps in the same way with Siri which is a big plus point and can be provided in different ways.
Lets hope plenty of more options in next version of Apple operating system i.e. iOS 6.1.
