But there are many other Apple customers that are interested in using Siri on their devices. It seems iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4G have been hacked to run Siri. Videos of Siri running on these devices are already generating buzz across the Internet.

Many of us have already upgraded our phones to the latest generation iPhone (running on Verizon or AT&T). Both networks are rolling out their 4G networks, which means we could see iPhones that will be compatible with these speedy networks soon. Unfortunately, it seems some consumers do not even know what 4G is all about. A recent survey by retrevo showed that 34% of iPhone owners already think their phone is 4G. Apple probably should have just skipped the number 4 and gone straight to iPhone 5 to prevent these confusions from coming about.

According to the same survey, a lot of phone shoppers are not too impressed with 4G’s performance and assume it to be too expensive. Let’s face it. When AT&T and Verizon fix the issues with their networks, 4G will be worth it to a lot of people. This is not something some marketing and free transparency can’t fix. With 61% of current iPhone owners determined to buy the next generation iPhone with or without 4G, Apple has the luxury of time to come up with a full 4G phone in 2012.  Read the rest of this entry »

iPhone 4 is one interesting gadget. Not because of all the good features that it offers but due to all the trials and tribulations Apple has had to face to bring the phone to the market and satisfy its customers. Antenna-gate was a big PR disaster for Apple. The company handled it the best way it could by giving away free cases to iPhone 4 owners for a limited time. Consumer Reports has not been too kind to iPhone 4 either. iPhone 4 may not be the perfect smart-phone, but it is still one of the most reliable phones around. A study by SquareTrade confirms just that. With only 2.1% of iPhone 4 owners experiencing a non-accident related malfunction within their first 12 months on their phone, iPhone 4 is one reliable device.
