Sent Tweets Via Siri With Assitant Extensions

Assistant Extensions is a great new tweak that will allow you to open apps, send tweets and more via Siri. There are more and more tweaks released via Cydia every they and these allow jailbroken iDevices to get the most out of their devices. You could say that jailbreaks actually allow iOS to run the way it always should have run.

Since the release of the untethered jailbreak for A5 devices there have been more and more Siri tweaks released. Apple's voice recognition software has been the centre of so many developers attention since it launched with the iPhone 4S last October. Jailbreaking allows using to enjoy some great Siri perks and these include allowing simple SBSettings-like commands to be activated using Siri. There are many more Siri tweaks including SiriToggles and the soon to be released Sireet which will allow users to send Tweets using Siri.

AssitantExtensions has been released however and this allows users to send Tweets, activate SBSettings toggles and open various different apps without having to touch your screeen. This new tweak is available free of charge from the BigBoss repository. If you have SiriToggles the developer of AssitantExtensions does recommend that you remove it even though no conflicts between the two have been reported. The features of AssitantExtensions do however supersede SiriToggles so you won't need it anyway. If you plan on downloading AssitantExtensions you will need a jailbroken iPhone and there are plenty of tools that you can use to do this including Absinthe, Sn0wbreeze and more.

Two New Siri Related iPhone 4S Commercials Released By Apple

Apple have released two new thirty second commercials in their next step in promoting Siri, the headline feature of the iPhone 4S. The first of these commercials centres around a Road Trip and features the integration of Siri with the Maps application, location services, Yelp and it also demonstrates the intelligent voice assistant's ability to give on the fly directions to a specifically requested location.

The second commercial focuses on a young music lover and pays attention to how Siri can display musical notes to help the young musician learn new skills as well as composing a text message from spoken words to the other band members. This commercial shows Siri's use of the Wolfram-Alpha service to pull up search results and it also shows how users can program their own nickname into Siri.

Apple products such as the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad have changed the way we think about consumer technology and they have also dramatically enhanced the way some people actually live their lives. The iPhone and iPod touch brough such technologies as FaceTime which allows people to connect to their loved ones via video entirely free of charge once they are connected to a Wi-Fi network. The iPad also comes with FaceTime capabilities but it is also about to play a pivotal role in reinventing educational standards across the United States. It is also used quite extensively in the medical and aviation industries to enhance professional standards.

Apple's products may be amazing but their success is all down to their ability to market them. Apple knows how to market perfectly using effective visual campaigns, simple and immediately recognizable television commercials and perfect product placement strategies. They engage with their audience and encourage sales. Both of the new Apple commercials follow a familiar pattern and they are simplistic whilst still focusing entirely on the product they are attempting to promote. They invoke an emotional reaction and they demonstrate how the iPhone 4S and Siri work in real world situations and how they can easily be integrated into daily life.

Siri, how come you are the star of the two new Apple iPhone 4S ads?

The two latest ads for the Apple iPhone 4S have something in common. Both star Siri, the voice-activated personal assistant. The first spot shows how Siri can come in handy during a road trip, which coincidentally is the name of the ad. Siri can help you with directions, find a place to eat, and tell you which gas stations are within walking distance.

The second ad shows a young man starting a new band. He enlists the help of Siri to find a place to buy a guitar, learn the chords to a couple of songs including "London Calling" by The Clash. Siri also shows the kid how to play a Bm9, and puts a possible name for the band, "Migraine Headache" on a list. The kid has his personal assistant send an email to a pair of his groupies to tell them that his band will be playing the garage that night. Lastly, this poor deluded kid asks Siri to address him as "Rock God" and Siri says she will comply.

If you were wondering how Siri responded so quickly to the questions in the commercials, when in real life you find yourself waiting endlessly for a response, it is all done through the magic of television. In the fine print at the end of the ad, you might have caught the phrase "sequences shortened".

Send Tweets Natively Using Siri With New Jailbreak Tweak

We have been getting to know Siri since October 2011 when the iPhone 4S was launched. There is no denying that Siri is a great addition to the iPhone with its intelligent voice assistant being able to analyze voice commands and perform specific tasks based on this audible user instruction. A lot of people however still aren't convinced and many people say it is the lack of scope that is leaving them on the bench where Siri is concerned.

When the iPhone 4s and Siri were launched the software was billed and advertised as a personal assistant that would let you send messages, schedule meetings, make phones calls and a lot of other impressive things. One of the major benefits was the ability to talk to Siri like a real person forming full sentences to instruct the software of what you wanted it to do. Siri would then analyze the sentence, understand it and process it. For a lot of things Siri works great but unfortunately the technology has not been integrated deeply enough into the iOS and there are some things that we would love Siri to be able to do that it just can't.

The jailbreak community have as always stepped forward and we are starting to see some great Siri-based tweaks popping up in Cydia. Some of these add additional power to Siri by hooking into certain settings and allowing users to launch specific applications using voice commands.

Apple made a big deal about the fact that they were partnering with Twitter to deeply integrate this social service into iOS. After the initial excitement died down all users really got was native account registering through settings and a framework for developers which negates the need to deal with Twitter's unfriendly APIs. IOS developer Tyler Nettleton posted on his Twitter account to see if any of his followers would be interested in a tweak that would allow Siri to write and post tweets.
