This week’s Tech Talk podcast focuses on Apple’s new iPhone, the 4S, announced this week and the release of the new iOS 5 mobile operating system and its iCloud online service. Alan Yacavone, part of The New York Times’s I.T. team, provides his analysis of Apple’s new iPhone 4S hardware, as well as the company’s minor updates to its iPod line. He also joins a round-table discussion concerning the gap between the rampant rumors that swirl around most pending Apple announcements and the actual products that arrive.
One of the highly touted features of the new iPhone 4S is the voice-activated Siri technology. Pedro Rafael Rosado explores the notion of a “virtual assistant in his regular Term of the Week segment.
This week’s technology headlines include announcements from Microsoft concerning the retirement of its Zune media player and an overhaul of its Hotmail service to include new features like a scheduled Inbox cleanup. Partnerships between ABC and Yahoo, as well as between Facebook and Websense, are also noted.
For those on the road, the Tip of the Week takes a look at adding traffic conditions and other helpful information to online maps from Bing, Yahoo and Google.
