Sophos points to the weakness of the iPhone voice-driven "wizard" that could allow people to access personal data such as phone numbers and addresses. Meanwhile developers to write an Android clone - or near-clone

Siri, the wizard voice-based new Apple iPhone 4S, poses a security risk, according to Sophos, which indicates that the default configuration may allow the user to send emails and messages, even when the screen is locked with a password.

Graham Cluley, security consultant at Sophos, said he was able to do both, and could have interfered with the appointment calendar colleague, even when the phone is apparently remained locked.

Cluley points there is an environment that can prevent Siri is available unless the screen is unlocked with the code. However, the default settings on the phone he does - and taking into account the ability of Siri to be used with any voice, and provide personal address book, it would be possible for someone one who had stolen a phone Siri possible to extract valuable information, even without being able to go beyond the lock screen.

Google has recently announced the release of Android, "Ice Cream Sandwich" (4.0), includes a new "face recognition" feature to lock and unlock it using front camera phone that can be used to authenticate a user.

Andy Rubin was largely dismissive of the consequences of Siri. Speaking at the Hong Kong AllThingsD said: "The telephone is a communication tool you should not communicate with the phone, you should contact someone on the phone .." He suggested that n was not sure what would penetration Siri. He added: "This is not a new idea ... When planning the future, I think Apple has done a good job of research that the technology was ready for the quality of consumption. "


However, some third-party developers for Android clear that Syria is a feature worth incorporating. A team of Dexetra.com wrote "Iris" - Siri spelled backwards - which uses Google's text of speech system to provide functionality similar to Siri Android phone by consulting Wikipedia or other reference sites for subjects such as art, literature, history and biology. According to TechCrunch, Iris - encoded in a burst of eight hours - is due to appear shortly in the Android Market, but an alpha version is now available. Iris research requires both Google Voice and text to speech library must be installed, although almost all the Android phones are pre-installed. The initial responses are encouraging, although some say that "it is time to respond," the principles and classifications vary widely, ranging from five stars to one star, running 3-2 in four stars and above v two stars or less. /
