  1. Great post - thanks.

    The app I use to stay organized is Lifetopix. It lets me keep track of all my classes, tasks, projects, shopping lists, and more that I haven't even gotten to yet. It's all within one app, and it's a universal app so I've got it on both my iphone and ipad. I love it.

Siri was originally developed as an iOS application available in the App Store and later acquired by Apple on April 28, 2010. It is now integrated part of iOS 5 and available only on iPhone 4S (taken from Wikipedia).     As per e24 article , Siri’s CEO Dag Kittlaus’s life (picture above) took a turn for the better following a special phone call from Steve Jobs last year.
