Siri, the travel agent? New Apple trademarks offer clues to her future

Apple recently revised some patent applications registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark office, possibly revealing some upcoming new SIRI features. The iPhone maker updated three trademark applications on June 13, plus one prior to those in May, Patently Apple reported yesterday. The applications describe new SIRI features including hotel booking and education services. Apple already detailed part of what's new with SIRI in iOS 7 , so it may be that these features arrive in future updates, or not at all. Then again Apple hasn't described every new nook and cranny of SIRI's consciousness and there could be many more new features awaiting us in the fall.

SIRI could also learn more about wine, the patent suggests, to answer the questions of more cultured iPhone users. The patent from May describes SIRI services that would provide information relating to education, including online instruction in fields ranging from elementary school to university-level subjects. Apple has staked its claim in education before, so a feature like this would certainly make sense. Now it just re ...

Has Apple done enough with the revisions in SIRI to warrant a second look?... ...

Der Opel Adam mit Intelli-Link-Infotainment-System bietet nun auch umfassende SIRI Eyes Free-Unterstützung. Der Fahrer muss während der Fahrt nur Instruktionen geben und schon hilft der Assistent von Apple beim Erledigen wichtiger Dinge. Fahrer, die über ein iOS-6-kompatibles iPhone verfügen, können SIRI Eyes Free sicher über eine Lenkradtaste aktivieren und per Sprachbefehl steuern – mit den Augen auf die Straße gerichtet und den Händen am Lenkrad. Dabei geht das System über eine einfache Stimmerkennung hinaus – der Fahrer kann mit SIRI Eyes Free im Adam sprechen wie mit einem ganz normalen Begleiter. Die Funktion ist kostenlos für jeden Adam-Fahrer erhältlich, der ab sofort sein Fahrzeug mit Intelli-Link bestellt. Diejenigen, die bereits ein Intelli-Link ihr Eigen nennen, können ebenfalls von SIRI Eyes Free profitieren. Opel bietet ein kostenfreies Software-Update an. Das System kann während des gesamten Lebens fortwährend aktualisiert werden, so dass das innovative Infotainment-System stets auf der gleichen Höhe wie die Smartphone-Kommunikation des Nutzers ist. Das Update nimmt der Opel-Händler vor. Das System unterstützt iPhones in großem Umfang, sodass Nachrichten, Telefongespräche, das Abspielen von Musiktiteln, sowie die Terminorganisation während der Fahrt einfach möglich sind. Zudem können Adam-Kunden die Opel Flex-Dock-Halterung auf dem Armaturenträger nutzen, um mit ihrem Smartphone vollen Zugriff auf SIRI Eyes Free zu ...

If you told SIRI yesterday that you wanted to kill yourself, the assistant would only provide you with contact information for the suicide prevention helpline.

Vauxhall now shipping the Adam with integrated Siri connectivity, current owners get a free upgrade

The Vauxhall Adam -- or OPEL, if you're in mainland Europe -- hasn't been on the market for long, but from today each Adam that drives out of the showroom will have SIRI connectivity. But, current owners aren't left out, as they can take their car back to Vauxhall for a free update to their Intellilink to give them SIRI in their car as well. SIRI is reachable in the car via a button on the steering wheel. Hitting this voice control button will automatically link up with SIRI on your iPhone , and everything SIRI can do, suddenly your car can do. Pretty sweet. Beyond this, Vauxhall is also to start selling the 'SIRI edition' of the Adam. This special edition version is available in 'Apple style' white or black paint jobs along with some brushed aluminium wing mirrors. But don't call it an iCar. Any Adam owners out there excited for this? Let us know when you grab your update! Source: Pocket-Lint ...
