11:30 iPhone 4S also has a new wireless antenna system which supposedly fixes problems in the same in the iPhone 4. Apparently it "intelligently" switches between two different antennas. Will get back to that later.
Based on demonstrations, Siri understands even the most casual language.
At the risk of obsessing over Siri, the new personal assistant provided by Apple, it also sends your text messages, defines words for you, wikipedia-es things, tells you the current exchange rate, date, time, how many days left to... and anything else yo can possibly think of. All this - just by asking
As it turns out, Siri is even more amazing than previously imagined - It sets alarms, bring up a list of restaurants in the area, tell you about the situation of your stocks, shows you your reminder, reads your messages out and, get this, even sets up your meetings.
10:48 Updates on iPod Nano now being given by Phil Schiller - Nano now also functions as a clock with 16 different clock faces added by Apple. Of course you have to buy a wrist holder for that. Also it now has bigger icons for better navigation, comes in 7 different colors and is priced at $129 for 8GB and $149 for 16GB
10:43 Family and Friends - See where your family and friends are, set up temporary location sharing, time you location sharing, invite friends through this app, also has parental controls so no stalking
