A Tale of 2.5 Phones, IV
The topic for this blog will be the Siri and iCloud services. From the start, I need to be clear that these are why I found a way to get an iPhone, when I still love my EVO 3D. My final question for the last blog will be, do these services overcome the features and functionality that I love on my EVO....
Siri first...
I can tell my phone. "remind me when i get to my office to check the alarm battery" and the next time I get to my office my phone will display a message, "Patrick, check your phone battery."
I can say, "Call my broker" and the phone will dial Sheila. Same is true for call my Girlfriend and other relationships that I have already established those relationships.
You can ask Siri the capital of Uruguay or the population of Mozambique and it will answer. You can ask what time sunset is and on and on.
if it worked perfectly, it would be worth the price of the phone. It seems that half the time there is a network issue or she doesn't understand. Making it frequently easier to do the task manually! That should get better with time and people stop asking it "What is the meaning of life?"
iCloud is the reason I got the phone. I will start with the ugly.
I do my personal real estate work from home, so when I am there, I am there for our agents and staff. I have a MacBook Pro, Win 7 PC and a iPad. When and if I can get rid of all my duplicates, the cloud will sync EVERYTHING perfectly. Now, I just have way to many calender events in both outlook and iCal. That is better than not having the info on a specific device. If I find a way to fix that, it will be a great and glorious blog.
These are two reasons that I am leaning toward the iPhone as my primary device, but I have decided that I am keeping both of them. Read the last blog for my final comments.
