“Siri, where can I get good sushi?”

Siri: “Now dialing “Sia K.”“

Me: “Where can I get good sushi?”

Siri: “The time is now 7:35PM.”

Me: “Where is the closest sushi restaurant?”

Siri: “Not Found.”

I swear one of us has to be aphasic.

Do you guys have any experience with other apps? I don’t need a browser in it. It should be just good looking and secure (with sync option)...

My personal price limit is $2-5.

This seems only the beginning where the technology has taken a toll on humans and has revolutionized the very way life is was being spend by us. With every passing day more and more improvement is expected in apps development whether we talk about iPad development or any other device development. iPad has been a big influence on apps users and though it was speculated that the device will not be able to cater the need of people but surprisingly it has been a big hit and has also boost the apps development.

These apps are called “augmented reality” because they tend to enhance the real world experience. These apps are used in many different things now days and many businesses have gained quite a lot because of apps development. The role of social media is also to be appreciated in this age, especially apps development related to Facebook. It tends to change quite lot of things and has a major influence on business development and marketing. Facebook app developers have been quite busy for past couple of years in designing apps that could help retain Facebook as the leading social platform. 

There are a number of apps that are being used on daily basis and are becoming increasingly popular among all age groups. One such category that is being used by users of all ages is that of locations apps. These apps help you find location of people and places any where across the globe. The recent trend is about location based applications. These applications make use of information of a particular place and then using that information they help you solve your queries; such as a very popular trend in recent times is that you can get all the information regarding the buying details of a house by just pointing your smart phone in the direction of that house.

I would like to introduce one of the useful app “Signature-Secret Notes & Photos”. With this app you can access your private notes and photos by drawing your secret signature on the screen. No password prompts or buttons that would give away the existence of your secret area.

Signature matching is based on the shape, direction and relative speed of the signature for better security. You can enter your secret area by drawing your secret signature anywhere in the public area and also you can detects phone numbers, web links, email addresses, physical addresses and dates.

You can try downloading the Signature-Secret Notes & Photos app from iTunes store to use more features in the app and you have the free version too.

You can try downloading the paid and free version for Signature-Secret Notes & Photos app from iTunes store.

So what could Apple do that would put the iOS App Store to shame?  Siri could be the answer.  So far the personal digital assistant came on strong but the slow pace of development has failed to impress, however the potential locked in the software is not only stunning but world changing itself.  If Apple were to open Siri development to the public it would be a potential win not just for Apple but for Developers as well as consumers.  Imagine a section of the App Store that housed Siri plugins, an add on to make Siri more powerful and useful.  Nest Laboratories has an app that allows you to control their Nest thermostat from anywhere.  In order to do so you have to launch the app then use on screen controls to adjust the device.  Now imagine a Nest Siri plugin that allows you to pick up the iPhone, activate Siri and simply say “Nest 72 degrees.”  Siri understands Nest and routes the command to the Nest plugin, the Nest plugin then routes the command to the Nest server and it routes it to your thermostat.  CBS could potentially create a Star Trek app that would be able to answer any questions about the Star Trek universe. “Star Trek, who was captain of the Enterprise C?”  And Siri would respond “The captain of the Enterprise B was Captain Rachel Garret.” Pulling information via a CBS server. 

If Apple were to do this it would not only increase Siri’s potential exponentially, it would also allow development to speed greatly with multiple teams developing software opposed to solely Apple.  This also gives developers another potential revenue stream selling plugins similar to apps for 99¢ to $5, and as with the App Store it gives consumers a secure and friendly place to enhance Siri and make it a more productive personal assistant.

My wife and I are flying with our 17-month-old twin boys for the first time next month, and I have been looking for ways to allow them to use my iPhone and my wife’s iPad, should they get cranky, without constantly hitting the home button or pausing videos.

After exhaustively searching for the best solution, I stumbled across a new feature in iOS 6 called Guided Access. Guided Access allows you to disable touching on all or part of the screen, all hardware buttons, and motion sensors.

To enable Guided Access, go to Settings/General/Accessibility and tap the Guided Access button in the Learning section. After turning on Guided Access and setting a Passcode, launch the App of your choice and triple-click the Home button to configure the interface elements you wish to block. To disable certain parts of the screen, use your finger to circle the specific areas you don’t want your little one to access. You can also tap the options button to configure access to the hardware buttons, touch (for the whole screen), and the motion sensors. When you are done hit the start button to begin.

To exit Guided Access, triple-click the Home button again and enter the 4-digit Passcode, and your device will return to normal.

Hope someone finds this useful!
