Unfortunately we didn't get any hands-on time with the new iPhone 4S. At a glance, it looks exactly like its predecessor, the iPhone 4, but underneath the hood it's so much more.
Our friends at TechRadar got a chance to get their paws on Apple's new smartphone, and from the get-go, Siri is really the dealmaker. TechRadar says that though Google is doing great work with its own voice software, Siri is really the one making new strides. "It seems remarkably good at interpreting instructions and turning them in actions," says Patrick Goss, in the review.
The TechRadar hands-on review also goes into the specifics about how Siri integrates with other apps and services like Tasks, so you can set up action points not only for times and dates, but also when you're in a certain "geo-fenced" area. So when you're at the grocery store, your iPhone can remind you to bring home the milk.
And the camera? Well...
Here's a photo TechRadar took with the new iPhone 4S. Looks nice and clear. Way better than anything my 8MP Android outputs...
Anyway, check out the review in its entirety at TechRadar.

The new iPhone 4s is a nice upgrade from my 3GS. I have experienced a change in function with video podcasts over when they were all handled in the iPod app. When viewing a video, tapping on the forward arrow used to jump to the next video. Now it does nothing. a Press-and-Hold still fast forwards but moving to another video required pressing
Done, Scroll to the next video, Launch it.
Trying to report it to Apple's "community" gets a, "We're working on that part of our web site right now. Try again" type of message.
Neither of which is a good thing.

This is just another example of the disappointing illiteracy of the "spell check" generation.
More than merely a typo, it is a total and willful ignorance of the felicities of the English language.

If Siri really is "making new strides," why is it a "dealbreaker"? I went through half the article confused, wondering what was the really bad, deal-breaking rather than deal-making, problem with Siri.
