Valve Launches Steam Mobile for iOS and Android

 Good news for gamers, especially who now frequently play mobile games. Yes, Steam Mobile is currently available on the iPhone and the iPod Touch. Steam can also be run on the iPad, but unfortunately still in the non-optimized version. Besides present in  Apple products, Steam is also present in Android. So, is now the gamers can play the game in steam on a smartphone?

The answer to the above question so far is "can not". So, although there has been Steam Mobile, gamers can not yet enjoy the game in steam at each smartphone. At the moment, the Steam android app is more to facilitate the users to be able see the other steam users who are online and chat with each other through chat features that are served, select a community group, see user profiles, see screenshots, and more. Then the user can also make purchases and monitor Mac or Windows games discount which sold on Steam.



Gabe Newell, co-founder and president of Valve said that the decision released this application arises from the many requests directly from customers. Unfortunately the application which is actually made by valve is still in limited beta stage. To use this Steam Android application, you only need to download free applications and log into your Steam account



I personally think even if they do not sell mobile games or run the game in this application, this step is the right step to build a community that will be loyal to the released products the company concerned. Mobile technology has succeeded changing the way people interact, enjoy the news, get news, and others. Therefore, the way of a products promotion in digital also must be able to follow the changes produced earlier. And it seems this is what might be is trying by Valve with this Steam Android apps.

iPhone 4S Siri, an Attractive Feature

No doubt,  Siri is a very attractive feature on iPhone 4S. Not only as a voice control, this application can understand users speech.

Yes, many users have been amazed by the greatness of Siri. A variety of videos that show the greatness of this application can be easily found on YouTube. In America, Siri does look very interesting because all the features in it can be used. While in other countries,  Siri features is very limited.

For location-based services for example, all questions related to this will not be answered by this digital assistant. Also from the type of language support. Siri can only recognize the style of Australian English, American and British. While other foreign languages are supported French and German.





Siri is not just a voice control application, but also can understand what is meant by his interlocutor. For example, when asked, "Show me today's meeting schedule," then Siri will respond by displaying a list of meetings that must be done today. Also released a similar answer when the user asks, "Do I have a meeting today?,".

Siri  answer also very diverse, although repeatedly asked the same question, Siri often displays with different answers to the same purpose. And when asked the question a slightly distorted, Siri would answer diplomatically.





Well, things like that which have not been able to competed other similar applications. Siri was not the ordinary sound controllers.

In addition, users also can ask Siri to send emails, sms, or make phone calls, schedule meetings, or a reminder of its users. Quite interesting isn't it?

Siri require a smoothly internet connection to be able to run the command from his interlocutors, when the connection is lost, then automatically Siri will not respond to any request.

This condition indeed very annoying, so make sure you have good connections before using iPhone 4S Siri.
