Apple ready to integrate Shazam Siri in iOS 8

Apple,

Apple would incorporate in the next version of its mobile operating system, iOS 8, an application of musical discovery.It would not be a new default application but an implementation in depth, like what Apple did with LinkedIn, Twitter or Facebook.
According to Bloomberg,which reports about the two sources "with knowledge of the product", the update to iOS would "discover new music" by identifying a song with their iPhone or iPad.Just do not already the Shazam application, among others.
Apple,

Fast and intuitive access to the iTunes Store
It is with the latter that Apple would work, exactly.For Apple, it would make sense.Of course, functionality gadget may seem at first sight - or at least one might imagine a downloadable standalone application sufficient to the task - but Apple has known interests in content, including music.
Leading seller of music in the world via the iTunes Store, Apple would offer a quick and intuitive access to its catalog, clean trigger purchases "favorite" songs on its online sales platform.It is unclear whether the detection of pieces could be coupled with iTunes Radio, scheduled for release in the United States this year, according to Bloomberg.
Siri integration
By cons, we know how the application could be integrated Shazam: Siri, the voice assistant iOS, would ask a simple question like "What song is passing?"to give an answer and, one suspects, a link to the iTunes Store.
Shazam and Apple are already in partnership, as the former allows, upon recognition of a song, to get a direct link to the online store of Apple.The integration is simply greater and more transparent.Which would facilitate the distribution for Apple ... And give a boost to sacred Shazam, which has over 90 million monthly active users.As a reminder, iOS 8 to be unveiled on June 2, during the WWDC14.

Samsung VS Apple the new product fight

The current global smartphone manufacturers are undoubtedly Samsung and Apple, and the competition between the two is all-round, not only the Patent Trial but also the product line are secretly soared awkward. Recently, the U.S. federal judge rejected the previous request of the Apple. Last year, in federal court in San Jose, California, Apple claims Samsung saying it copied the design of the iPhone and iPad; Subsequently, Samsung, launched a counterclaim.


The lawsuits between the two will eventually reconciliation, and now the two companies are stepping up their own product layout. Samsung has confirmed that the new generation of the Galaxy Note will released on August 29 while rumors saying Apple’s new iPhone release date will advance in two weeks. The media also predicted that the new Galaxy Note features a strong 5.5-inch Lcd, slightly larger than the existing models, and will with a faster processor and better camera. Although Apple has the proud iPhone product, but since Samsung launched the Galaxy series, it has excellent contacts in the smartphone market. This is why Samsung ranked first in the world smartphone market.

What are the advantages of the two rely on? Apple: the fanatical fan, the relatively low cost, high profit margins of huge third party support and industry chain, the unique system, potential developers. Samsung: more comprehensive product line, both the characteristics of the product meet the gradual rise demand of the user, Androids own open source, and a good relations with operator , the relative price span.



In the second quarter of this year, Samsung smartphone shipments reached 50 million, while the iPhone for 26 million, as twice as higher. Apple will release a new iPhone in September this year, a report released by JP Morgan Chase recently; saying the years production of iPhone will reach 59 million if iPhone5 can bring a greater change.

JP Morgan expects Apple will sell 39.5 million iPhone 5 in the fourth quarter of this year; 37.8 million can be sold in the first quarter of 2013. If Apple can bring about it, then the pressure of the Samsung becomes greater.  Samsungs new flagship Galaxy S III, achieved sales of over ten million results in just two month. And this is the important models of Samsung to compete with iPhone5.


In addition to the smartphone, in the tablet market, Samsung has been glued to the Apple iPad strategies. According to Samsung invitations distributed to the media, Samsung will release the Galaxy Note 10.1 Tablet PC with a stylus recently. It is reported the Galaxy Note 10.1 is a full-featured tablet computer and fully taps the characteristics of the stylus to interact with the office tools. With the success of the iPad, Apple is also considering the smaller market and some of the tablets, like the iPad Mini enter peoples vision. If Apple launched iPad Mini, it will affect Samsung Tablet PC shipments. After all, in the tablet market, the advantage of the Apple iPad is greater while other Tablet PC manufacturer’s market influence is negligible. In the new product market, we see that the Samsung and Apple are not on the same way. The change of Apple iPhone5 is a move in order to adapt in the market, undoubtedly Samsung do better in this aspect.

Apple Siri Review

Siri is the newest addition and innovation on the iPhone 4S letting you use your voice instead of your hands and fingers to send text messages, emails, schedule meetings, placing phone calls, and so much more. Ask Siri to do things such as described above just by talking the way you talk to anybody else. Siri will understand what your saying, understand and knows what you mean, and even talks back to you as if Siri was right in the room with you, next to you and around you. Siri is so easy to use and does so much that youll wonder why and where Siri has been all your life, you’ll keep finding more and more ways to use Siri the possibilities are endless. Siri understands what you say in so many different ways. Talk to Siri as you would to a normal person like your best friends, family and more. Say something like “Tell my Girlfriend I’m running late and to hold off making dinner.” “Remind me to call the veterinarian about Spike” “Any amazing burger joints around where im at?” Siri does what you say and command, finds the information you need right away, then answers you back like a a personal assistant. It’s like you’re having a conversation with your iPhone but even better.


Siri knows what you mean and we mean understands you fully to the "T", Siri not only understands what you say, it’s smart enough to know what you mean. So when you asked “Siri Any good burger joints around where im walking and standing?” Siri will reply “I found a number of burger restaurants near and close to you.” Then you can say “Hmm. Siri How about good taco joints?” Siri also remembers that you just asked about restaurants, so it will look for Mexican restaurants in the neighborhood or where you are standing or walking around. With that said, Siri is proactive so it will question you until it finds what you’re looking for. Siri isnt just your run of the mill A.I or program it does what you need it to do much like all the AIs you see in TVs and movies. Siri helps you do  so many things that you do every day. Just Ask Siri to text your dad, mom, uncle, brother, sister, etc, remind you to call the Vet, or find directions to your favorite Restaurant or movie spot, and Siri figures out which apps to use and who and what you’re talking about. Siri is simply more amazing that what everyone sees it as. Siri goes above and beyond the norm and makes you feel as if its right there next to you. As said, "A Personal Assistant". For you to tell and command how you see fit.


As said above Siri finds answers for you from the web through sources like Yelp, WolframAlpha, Google, Bing, Yahoo And More. Using Location Services that already installed on your Apple iPhone 4S, Siri looks up where you live, where you work, and where your location is at the moment. Then Siri gives you the information youve requested and the best available options based on your current location and place. From those little details in your contacts, it knows your friends, family, boss, and co-workers. So you can go ahead and tell Siri things like “Text Cathy I’m on my way to work” or “Remind me to make a doctors appointment when I get to work today” or “Call a taxi after I leave work at 4” and it knows exactly what you mean and what to do in any situation. Siri makes up for a lot of the innovation weve wanted from Apple over the last couple of years and what we will be expecting from other companies like Google, RIM, HTC and more. Apples Siri is another great example of Apple leading the way with new Technology and making everyone else follow suit and catch up to them. Im sure youll be seeing a lot of Siri like cloned programs poping up over the coming months to years.


Though Siri has so much to tell you and say. When there’s something you either need to do or want to do, just ask Siri to help you do it. Siri uses somewhat all the built-in apps on your iPhone 4S. Siri writes and sends email messages and text messages and more. Siri searches the web for anything you need to know anything of interest or something you may like to do or go. Siri plays the songs you want to hear, your favorite music. Siri gives you directions and shows you around to so many places. Siri places phone calls, makes and creates schedules and meetings, helps you remember, and wakes you up every morning. In fact, just ask Siri what it can do "Siri What Can You Do" Siri even speaks for itself. The Apple iPhone 4S takes dictation with Siri. Here’s another beautiful amazing way to get the things you want done: just use your voice and Instead of typing, tap the microphone icon on the keyboard and watch Siri Pop Up. Then say what you want to and The Apple iPhone listens. Tap Done, and The Apple iPhone converts your words into text How amazing is that. Use dictation to write messages, take notes, search the web, and more in half the time. The Apple iPhones Dictation also works with third-party apps, so you can update your Facebook status, tweet your tweets, or write and send Instagrams. Which is another cool and great feature with The Apple iPhone 4S and Siri.

How To Use VPN With The Apple iPad

Using VPN with The Apple iPad And iPad 2

..."Can You Get Secure Connections From A Wireless Tablet, Yes You Can"...

While there are plenty of ways to protect your iPad and its data from neer do wells, one way is of specific interest to business users. The Virtual Private Network, or VPN for short. out of the box with no additional software the iPad supports three kinds of VPNs (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol L2TP, Point To Point Tunneling Protocol PPTP, amd Cisco IPSec Stands for internet Protocol Security. All three of them do pretty much the same thing, just in different ways. The kind of VPN you set up on the your iPad depends entirely on the kind of VPN thats set up on the network youre connecting to.

The iPad also supports what is also known and called SSL VPNs, which use the same SSL protocols that Websites use when they want to secure the connection so you can send sensitive data to them without worrying someone else sniffing that data for their own purposes. The iPad supports SSL VPNs from Juniper Cisco And F5 although you need to download clients for those from the iTunes APP Store. you can also create your own custom SSL VPN setup if you want.

Setup
I cant provide details for every possible VPN setup but I can explain the setup for Cisco IPSec. Its relatively common, and its the one I use. Youll follow the same general procedure for any of the others. Start by going into settings, and then tap VPN. Select add VPN Configuration and then IPSec. There, youll need to fill in a configuration Lcd with the following Details:

Server (The IP Address or DNS Name Of The VPN Router)
Account (Also known as user ID)
Password
Either A Certificate (Which will be provided for your iPad by the VPN Administrator)
Group Name (Used to assign appropriate access privileges to different types of users for example: your IT group likely has different kinds of access than does a sale team).

Before you go to there trouble of entering all of that manually check with your IT Department. It may be able to use Apples iPhone configuration utility to create a configuration profile which you install on the iPad and which configures the VPN for you.

How To Use It
Once the VPN is set up using it is simple. When you want to connect to your VPN you reopen settings tap VPN select the configuration you want to use and tap the VPN on/off switch. Enter a password a couple of seconds later you should be connected. At that point you can connect to your network and do whatever you need to do and it should just work. The only visible sign that youre using a VPN at all is the small icon in the upper left corner of the Lcd. When youre done, go back into the VPN settings and tap on VPN on/off switch and the VPN connection will be terminated.

If youre using SSL VPN you can take advantage of VPN on Demand. Then you dont even have to turn it on. Whenever you try to access a site or a resource behind the VPN, the VPN will automatically start for you and quit when your done, simple and amazing isnt it. As with so many other things Apple has done a good job of making some ferocious technology easy to use. Setting up a VPN on the back end may be a truly tedious and annoying process. Connecting to one from an iPad is anything but annoying and tedious. The iPad makes it simple and thats what Apple is all about Simplifying your world around you.

iPhone 5 prototype is rumored to have three different versions. From a pull out qwerty keyboard to a new Apple OS its incredible how much more advanced the iPhone 5 will look. Weve been looking at exclusive photos from the biggest tech blogs and other resources and with recent rumors of it being sold on Craigslist for $200 its amazing that the seller didnt ask more for it. Its the iPhone 5 you could have sold it from $1,000 to $20,000 and someone would have bought it. Its long rumored that iPhone 5 would be the game changer that solves all of the previous iPhones problems. Including the dreaded dropped call problem that plagued the iPhone 4. With the Introduction of the iPhone 5 Apple is turning the game on its competition yet again. Even HTC and Googles Android operating system cant hold a light to the New Apple iPhone 5. Even if youve already upgraded the iPhone 4 the new iPhone 5 will surely please all your senses and is way worth the amount of money.

With the launch the Apple iPhone 5 will be available from AT&T Verizon Sprint And T-Mobile as well. No formal mentions have been made who will exclusively be offering it first. But Im pretty sure with the recent AT&T and T-Mobile merger which is being blocked by Congress AT&T will be the first to do so followed by Verizon and then Sprint. other network carriers in other states will shortly follow suit but for now well have to go by what we know. The iPhone 5 has three distinct prototypes, its been lost by a high ranking employee and sold on Craigslist for $200, New Apple OS and is almost ready for launch. Excited I am and you should be as well. The iPhone 5 isnt just going to blow your mind but blow millions of peoples minds as well. The only reason why any Cell Phone Carrier is making any type of money is if you carry the iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 you sure to bring in millions of more customers and your profit per quarter will be going up. Its why so many people are eager to carry the iPhone 5 and why Apple is at the top and will remain at the top of the game.

Even without Jobs to be head of the company hes still head chairman of the board. Which means he still has a lot of say but doesnt have to be in the public eye. With his own health issues and his ultimate wish for privacy. Its no wonder why hes taken the reigns of the company and handed them to someone who can handle the rigorous job duties. Jobs will continue to produce products and innovate the whole line. Right now Apple is banking on their mobile line and other platforms against there own foundation of products including the MAC and Macbooks. But as always people will pay for Apple Products because in all honesty its what people want. The touch software loaded on all Apple iPhones iTouchs iPods, etc is perfect and amazing. While other developers phones are freezing up or un trust worthy. The Apple iPhone 5 is sure to please and make a lot of people happy, very very happy. So if your looking to save your money for an Apple iPhone, then save it up for the iPhone 5 which is coming out very very soon.

If you have an upgrade coming hold it off, for those of you out there saying theres going to be bugs there isnt. Ive seen photos and heard first hand how amazing the new iPhone 5 will be which with the the final prototype they choose will sure sell millions of units in the first day alone. The Apple iPhone 5 is sexy sleek and looks to be more than eye candy. The New Apple OS thats going on it is only what you can dream about. With better camera, video, lighter, and runs faster. The New Apple iPhone 5 will get any Apple enthusiast on his or her heels to see it touch it and play with it. I for one will be getting to the Apple Store the day it comes out and an more than happy for the New Apple iPhone 5. I will always and only have an Apple iPhone, my next being the iPhone 5 because my 3GS has been dropped more than you wanna know, dropped in a fish tank, water, and still works. Its been sat on, ran over and yet still works. So you can see why myself and so many others are loyal Apple fans. So if your looking to upgrade or get a new phone especially the Apple iPhone. Just wait your time out and when the Apple iPhone 5 hits the shelves go out and buy it.
