Presentation started on time as announced in Apple Town Hall. This is the same venue where, ten years ago Apple launched its original iPod.

The first half of the event was to recollect the uniqueness of Apple before they were to announce all new iOS 5, applications, services, hardware, and more importantly, integrating of all these into a powerful experience.

As we saw in iOS 5 features list – it does have an innovative, never-seen-before kind  Speech-to-text feature called as intelligent assistant ‘Siri’ which gets things done on an iPhone just by asking her. It just doesn’t listen – it thinks! A microphone is placed on a keyboard. It is built-in with support for English, French and German at the moment while more languages will be added soon.

iPhone 4S pre-order begins from October 7, 2011 & will be available in stores from October 14 on Sprint and AT&T priced at $199 for 16GB, $299 for 32GB, and $399 for 64GB.

iOS 5

It was more like a recap of what we already know and seen in iOS 5 features post here. This new OS version will be available for download on October 12, 2011.

I would not recommend downloading and installing this on the same day for any device especially non-US residents. The only reason is – the testing cycle did not complete as expected. Chances are, the build could be not entirely stable.

Update #1

iOS 5 GM (Gold Master) build which is otherwise most commonly called as release candidate but may not be a stable version is now seeded to developers. Many features and bugs are now fixed. Looks much better now.

You can do tethered jailbreak using new Redsn0w by Dev-team

Update #2 iPhone 4S in India

According to our sources, iPhone 4S is expected to release this December 2011 in India priced at approx. 32,000/- for 16GB; 35, 000/- for 32GB and 40,000/- for 64GB model.

Notes

Wow, I am excited to take hands-on with iPhone 4S just because of its camera and the CPU. It was disappointing not to hear anything on unlocked iPhones and Flash support.

I could not understand why iPod touch 3g does not have Bluetooth 4 instead of old 2.1.

iPhone 4 price is now dropped down to $99 only with contract and which could be a really good news for people wanted to buy an iPhone at cheaper price.
