iCloud Backup only works over WiFi not 3G.

Backing up to the cloud is just another backup. If you have a house fire and lose everything, you'll still have some stuff on iCloud if you use it. Also, if you download apps from your iPhone, those downloaded apps will also go to your computer so you don't have to plug in to your computer to back up. Then, when you backup your computer, those apps will also be in the backup.

Why So Siri-ous?
Posted by: "Bill Boulware" bill.boulware@gmail.com boulware0224

Sent to you by Bill Boulware via Google Reader: Why So Siri-ous? via
TechCrunch by MG Siegler on 10/16/11
Looking over the web and especially the blogosphere over the past
couple of days, it seems there is only one thing everyone wants to talk
about: Siri. With the iPhone 4S now in millions of peoples' hands, as
expected, it's clearly the stand-out feature of the device.
But wait. Voice technology has been around for a long time. Or, as one
TechCrunch commenter succinctly put it on Erick's video demo post of
Siri: "4 year old software, 8 year old technology." This recalls one of
my favorite aspects of tech blogging. You write about something, then
everyone and their mother rushes out to yell something along the lines
of "OLD!". Or, even better, competitors trip over themselves to yell
"FIRST!". So if the stuff Siri is doing is old, and if others did do it
FIRST, then why is everyone so damn excited about the feature?
There are a few reasons. But the simplest answer is one that has played
out time and time again over the past several years: Apple did it right.
No, Apple is not the first to implement voice technology. Nor are they
the first to do it on a phone. In fact, Siri isn't even Apple's first
foray into voice controls. But their first attempt on the iPhone, quite
frankly, sucked. It's no surprise that no one used it. As for Siri,
it's a company that Apple acquired — they were actually doing some of
the same things as a stand-alone third-party app previously. Credit
Apple for having the vision and foresight to realize that their
previous voice control offering wasn't competitive, and that
system-level integration of Siri into iOS could be magical.
What about Google? It's true that they've been far ahead of Apple in
the voice control space for years now. I recall being at an event that
Google held in August 2010 in which they showed off some new voice
functionality for Android. As I wrote at the time, "Google Unveils
Awesomely Fast And Accurate Voice Actions For Android". And that was
true. At the time.
But Google failed on a few fronts with this functionality. First of
all, while on paper and in staged demos Google's technology looks
great, they failed to make it compelling enough to entice everyday
users to use it. They had a pre-defined set of instructions as to what
you could say to get the system to work, and they were pretty rigid. By
comparison, Apple placed an emphasis on natural language usage with
Siri. There are a number of ways to say something to trigger a certain
action. You don't have to remember a set of commands.
Put another way, Google's voice search and Siri may look comparable on
paper. But in reality, one is something best used by a robot, the other
is something best used by a human. And robots don't buy phones — at
least not yet.
In the bigger picture, this is something that Apple seems to understand
time and time again that their rivals do not. Technology is an
ever-important part of everyones' lives, but the only way to make it
truly accessible to the vast majority of users is to humanize it.
That's Siri. Google, Microsoft, etc — they all fail miserably at doing
this.
I'm sure in a few weeks, we're going to see Google come out and say,
"wait, but look, we can do all of the stuff Siri can do too!" They'll
tweak their voice recognition to pick up more human phrases, etc. But
it won't matter. They already lost the mindshare battle. Yes, Android
had better voice controls first, but if you ask anyone on the street
right which is the phone with the awesome voice controls, they'll tell
you it's the iPhone.
The funny thing is that while Apple are normally brilliant marketers in
this regard, they're actually holding back on Siri right now. Why?
Because they consider the product to still be in "beta". And while
every Google product starts in beta, it's not a tag Apple takes
lightly. Talking with them leading up to the launch, they clearly feel
that Siri as it stands right now, while a great first step, is nowhere
near where they want it to be. It may take six months to get there. It
may take a year. But when Apple does get it to where they feel it's
ready, I bet we'll see a massive marketing push. And we may even see it
come to other devices at that point.
Earlier today, Search Engine Land did a nice side-by-side comparison of
Siri versus Google voice actions. Again, on paper, they're similar, but
in reality, they're far apart right now. But the more interesting
aspect of the piece to me was when author Greg Sterling goes against
the this-will-kill-Google early reactions and notes that Siri should
lead to even more Google searches. I totally agree. For now.
But again, this is a beta product. Does anyone really think Apple isn't
going to work quickly to integrate it with other data partners? Imagine
it tied to Quora. Imagine it tied to Twitter (and how is it not
already?!). Imagine it tied to Foursquare. Imagine it tied to…
Facebook. If and when that happens, Google will have a very legitimate
reason to be concerned.
Right now, Google is a middle man between us and information. And we
love Google for it. There's simply too much information out there for
anyone to find by themselves. There needs to be a middle man. We need
Google. Apple has been hinting for a while that mobile applications
could change this game. But apps are just a new, perhaps more accesible
wrapper of information. There still needs to be a search mechanism
powering the discovery of information — that's why everyone keeps
insisting that Apple will eventually get into the search engine
business.
Well they have. But not in the way that everyone was thinking. Siri is
their entry point. Again, it's a small step right now, but it has the
potential to be massive. (Perhaps the more pressing question: is Apple
okay relying heavily on a third party, Nuance, for what may become a
core component of their stack?)
And that's another fundamental reason why people are so excited by Siri
where they aren't by Google voice search. Google voice search, like
basically every Google product, is ultimately a way to drive more
Google searches. It's just a new layer. Even if people don't fully
understand that, they sense that it doesn't point to something totally
new. Siri does point to something totally new. With it, Apple wants to
change the information search and creation paradigm. It's an evolution
powered by mobile and a new, more powerful input: voice.
This is a vision that has been 24 years in the making at Apple. The
video below first re-surfaced around the launch of the iPad. "Apple
envisioned their tablet 20+ years ago!," everyone yelled. But at the
time, everyone overlooked the arguably more powerful aspect: natural
language voice interaction. Apple was quietly working on that too. And
now it's here. Heralding the future.

I am über confused now. I have an apple ID which was created back in February and is my gmail account. When I downloaded iOS 5 I created an @me email because I thought I had to in order to use iCloud. What is the best course of action at this point? I don't want to duplicate anything unnecessarily.

My @me address is listed as my mail address when I go into icloud and then account. Doesn't that mean its already linked to the iCloud account?

Thanks Alice. I'm still not really sure what the purpose of it is but I guess an extra email account isn't a bad thing.

Re: WiFi Scanner App

Hmmm.....do I want to know what wifi signals are around me that are locked? No, I wouldn't be able to use them. Free wifi finder tells me which places have free wifi and will give directions to those places so I can use it. It's really all I need. Beggars can't be choosy when it comes to free wifi :-)

If rumors are right and a new iPhone comes out anytime between March and June of next year, I don't know if you'll be eligible for the upgrade. I will be eligible for an iPhone upgrade Feb 1. That's close enough to a new one coming out for me to wait and see what the new one will be and if it's going to be worth the upgrade.

I tried GV thinking it could be my answer to lowering my SMS bill. Guess again. I found it not very reliable. Hubby would get GV texts from me sometimes but not always. IMessenger is as reliable for me as SMS.

I don't think they will delete from iPhoto unless you go into iPhoto and delete them. That would be for safety reasons.....you don't want them in the stream anymore but want them in iPhoto.

I like having the video separate from audio! I listen to lots of podcasts in my car, and the video ones were always a problem when they popped up. <g> I�d rather have them separate so I can watch them when I�m not driving. Different strokes, and all that �. ;)
