Evi is an app for the iPhone which it’s developers, True Knowledge, as well as several high profile Apple and Mac related websites were claiming was a good replacement for Siri. However, the reality is much cloudier than that. After 516 ratings, the average is 1.5 stars with most people complaining that the app can7t even connect to the Evi servers to perform the required tasks. Apple also had issues that were very similar when they first released Siri, however,…

While Apple has put camera’s in most every device that they produce these days, many in the military or government cannot use the devices due to the sensitive nature of their jobs. That is until now. The M1 Shop in Singapore has the iPhone 4S models with no camera for sale now.

The ad, featuring that man in the red suit with the jolly laugh, seems to need Siri now to make his life complete. Of course, we all know what a practical joker Siri can be, but when she suggests Mrs Claus says to lay off the cookies, Santa takes the appropriate action and laughs it off as he eats his in-hand…
In a week that saw many users receive their iPhone 4S including myself, Apple decided to go on a tear and create a few PR issues with developers. However, I guess the end result of that disaster in the Internet world is that Apple decided to fix one Charlie Miller’s well known and thoroughly explained bug (@0xcharlie) after unceremoniously booting him from the Apple Developers program. They took this bug and a nasty battery drain on the iPhone 4S and…

While many speculated that the pre-ordering was done because of the hohum attitude about the new device, sales of the new phone have been more than satisfying to the companies selling the device. A few early morning issues with server availability caused some frustration among buyers, yet AT&T reported that their systems had taken over 200,000 orders for the new phone in the first 12…
