-Video shows a selection of scenarios where you might want to use voice recognition in iOS 5 itself rather than one particular app and it appears as if it would work similar to how Android approaches the problem.

-99.7% Of Android Handsets Are Vulnerable To Hacking, While iPhone Remains Secure.
A team of researchers over at the University of Ulm in Germany have discovered that any Android phone running version 2.3.3 or lower is vulnerable to attacks due to bad ClientLogin authentication protocols.
On layman’s terms, what that means is every time an Android user signs into a service that uses that protocol, like Twitter, Google or Facebook, the authToken information is stored for 14 days, and easily accessible to anyone who knows how to go about stealing it.
The result? Total strangers you’re sharing an unsecured WiFi network with at Starbucks or the like can log into these services as you, as long as they’re savvy enough to do so.
Under iOS, it would be quickly patched, and that patch would be pushed out immediately to all devices capable of running the update. In Android, though, because the carriers and handset manufacturers — not Google — dictate when an update comes out, the security hole is still wide open in 99% of phones… even though Google released a Android 2.3.4 weeks ago to plug it.

-Apple has proposed a new standard for SIM cards that is even smaller than the micro-SIM, according to Reuters."We were quite happy to see last week that Apple has submitted a new requirement to (European telecoms standards body) ETSI for a smaller SIM form factor, smaller than the one that goes in iPhone 4 and iPad. They have done that through the standardization route, through ETSI, with the sponsorship of some major mobile operators, Orange being one of them." said Anne Bouverot, Orange's head of mobile services.Bouverot says the process will take some time; however, devices that utilize the new SIM card standard could be available by next year.
