If you have an iPhone 4S and a Twitter account, you've probably wished that you could simply tell your virtual assistant to tweet sentences for you. Unfortunately, Siri doesn't come with Twitter support, but one developer is looking to change that.

Verizon has best subscription numbers in 3 years thanks to the iPhone

The success that Apple has had with its latest handset, the iPhone 4S, is very evident. But what's even more impressive is the affect that the iPhone has had on wireless carriers. Today, Verizon announced its quarterly figures for the end of 2011, showing that the iPhone has brought them the highest subscription numbers in three years. In fact, the iPhone 4S accounted for 54% of the 7.7 million smartphones that Verizon sold in the final quarter. When you look at the number of other high-end Android devices being offered by Verizon, it's hard to ignore the iPhone's impact. Verizon Wireless gained 1.5 million new subscribers in the final quarter, making it their best quarter in years.

AT&T and Sprint have not released their quarterly results yet but they are expected to have similar outcomes due to the monstrous success that the iPhone 4S has had. Unfortunetely for T-Mobile, it was left in the dark and did not enjoy the success that the Iphone brought to carriers, but rumors have it that the next-generation iPhone might also launch for T-Mobile. But, nothing has been confirmed by the carrier nor Apple, so take it with a grain of salt.

Evi: Siri for the rest of us

Apple's Siri feature has had a phenomenal response from the public, so it's only natural that other developers try to get a piece of the pie. One noteworthy app that is trying to battle Siri is named Evi, and we think you'll be surprised with its performance.

Many other apps have been released that promise to deliver the same service as Siri, but they have failed miserably. Evi, however, has had great feedback from users so far. And, the best part about it? It’s available for all iOS devices and even the Android platform…

Ovum: Developers to choose Android over iOS?

In the battle between Apple's iOS and Google's Android, the truth is it's all about preference. One is not better than the other, it's simply about what the user prefers.

Being a community of iPhone developers and enthuisists here, some opinions may be biased but countless reseach and surveys have been done on the topic...
