Can you believe that Apple has just released its 93rd iPhone ad? That’s a lot, considering that the iPhone has only been around for five years. A lot of the focus of the iPhone 4S’s advertising was on Siri, making this new iteration of ads a refreshing return to basics.

Celestica, the Toronto-based manufacturer that produces hardware for Research In Motion, have announced that they’ll be stopping production of BlackBerry hardware over the next three months, and charging the company $1 billion for unsold BlackBerry inventory. Between the BlackBerry 10 smartphone getting pushed back to late 2012, and new iPhone rumours, this could sort of be RIP RIM.
People over at MIT have developed a piece of open-source software that lets you drag files from your phone to your computer or tablet or whatever with a swipe of a finger. It’s simple and clever and looks like the future – and it works. They’re calling it Swÿp. Take a look at the demo after the jump.

Apple’s iOS has been under fire for allowing third-party apps to access users’ location data and contacts without permission – and now it looks like photos and videos have been compromised too.

Mercedes-Benz unveiled plans yesterday to use Siri – the virtual assistant exclusive to the iPhone 4S – to power its new A-class electronics system, called “Drive Kit Plus,” which will allow drivers to access their iPhone apps using voice commands. In case you ever feel like updating your Twitter status while driving something sexy.
Ever since its launch at the end of last year, Apple’s Siri has been at the top of everyone’s “to get” list. A virtual assistant that is so much more than that, it has thrilled users the world round. That is of course unless you’re from Scotland in which case you might as well be talking into a Nokia 3310.
The Carrier IQ software, installed on most modern Android, Blackberry and Nokia phones, is supposed to record some of the things phones do so manufacturers can do quality control. Except it’s also been logging everybody’s text messages, web searches, and phone calls. Which is pretty bad.
A lot of us are currently using the iPhone 4 are only now coming to terms with Apple’s reluctance to allow Siri to run on our hardware. There’s probably even a bunch of us using Android that wish we could have something similar. Well, iHave good news. There’s an app for that.
It seems Apple’s new iOS5 operating system for the iPhone 4S has a new surprise around every corner. The App in question uses GPS, and if your friend agrees, it allows you to see their location, give or take a few metres.

Those blessed with early access to the iPhone 4S have spent most of their time talking about Siri, the voice-activated feature that can answer questions like “What’s the time?”, and “What does prawn mean?” They’ve also found that it has a pretty decent cache of responses for people who ask their phone stupid questions.

South African’s just love their Blackberrys, and annoyingly rave about how cool they are, and constantly put their Blackberry pins up on Facebook, saying, “Just got my BB. Add me guys!” But RIM, the company that makes the annoying device, seems to be in quite the spot of bother.
And they’d been doing so well with the ‘not evil’ thing. Apple’s new patent is for software that would sense when people are trying to film concerts or events with their iPhone, then automatically disable the camera.
