Reviewed: Apple's iPhone 4S announcement

This time Apple did everything that was expected and nothing more. 
First the announcement of features that we were already expecting was very nice. Things like iOS 5 and iCloud were much anticipated and now coming on the 12th this month. Sadly there was really no other updates for the iPod touch other then the fact that  you can now get it in white.  One App that we haven't heard about before is the Find my Friends app. This will enable you to allow your friends to see your location.  This can also give peace of mind to parents and the like being able to confirm that their loved one made to their destination safely.

The new iPhone looks the same, I think so that no one as to remake the accessories that already work on the iPhone 4. It has the expected better camera, now 8 MP and can shoot 1080p videos. Also the voice recognizing assistant is amazing being able to respond and understand natural speech.  The Siri assistant can also do things for you like read you texts and reply to them without you needing to do anything ask and speak. It can also reschedule appointments and create notifications access apps and information on the web.

The biggest let down of the keynote was the fact that this assistant will only work on the iPhone 4S.  Not even the iPad 2 will support it.

I am very excited about the automatic file sharing with iOS 5 that will automatically sync your music photos documents and apps between all of your iOS devices and your Mac. 

Just 8 more days.  :-)
