You get increased 500 MB upto 4.5 GB of extra space for uploading your photos and videos directly to Dropbox. This has to be done by running the new Dropbox client which allows you to enable the photo import feature.
You can download and install the client from the Dropbox forums, for more information read here.

During this beta period, we are also offering additional free space to test automatic uploading of photos and videos. For every 500MB of photos and videos automatically uploaded, you’ll receive another 500MB space bonus, up to 4.5GB total.

So its still not clear if your extended storage space is valid till the beta period of it stays with you forever. But till then  you can experiment and take the extra free storage space and flaunt your jealous friends.
Most likely this storage space upgrade would be permanent.

Once installed, you need to enable the photo import feature. The photo import feature relies on Autoplay, which needs to be enabled. This is done under Start Menu > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > AutoPlay in Windows 7.

If everything goes fine and you use the feature as expected, you would be getting 4.5GB of extra storage space absolutely free.

And if you are looking for tips and tricks to increase your Dropbox storage capacity, do check here to get some free extra storage space.

To enable this service, you don’t really need to update or download anything. If you plug in a SD card or connect your smartphone, your Dropbox would have an option to ‘Enable Dropbox camera import’.

As of now this feature is only available for Windows and Mac users. There are still some restrictions to this, like iPhone users need to unlock the device and enter the passcode ( if any) to start the import. 
It is your choice to enable or disable this feature, but what interesting is that it is available to all users without any new update.

For those who haven’t got this option but want to try  can download the new version of Dropbox with Photo import from the official Dropbox web forum here.

Clear for iPhone is the most minimalist to-do list manager with the most simplest ways to present and manage everything. To make things simple, they even added gesture-based navigation system which not only makes things simpler but also much cleaner in the App. Pinching out adds a new task in between the your tasks, dragging any item re-arranges the listing and instead of having a ‘Back’ button to use all the different lists, they have added the pinch-out to get back to all the various lists.

Apart from a demo video, none other details are out but this app looks amazing and surely would start a new trend of minimalist productive apps.

Fortunately, there’s a very subtle trick in iOS to recalibrate your Home button.
I recommended you to do this trick on your device and you would surely notice that your Home button is more responsive than before.

How to Recalibrate Your iDevice’s Home Button

• Open any stock App ( Stocks, Weather etc )
• Press and hold your power button until “slide to power off” appears and release.
• Now in the same state, press and hold your Home button until the “slide to power off” goes away, and the app force quits. Your device’s Home button should now be more responsive, because it has been recalibrated.

@chpwn is a known hacker in the jailbreak community and always has been known for releasing some amazing jailbreak tweaks. Most of them are free and some are paid which are available in Cydia Store. Along with Ryan Petrich, Grant Paul have released Spire, a new tool for installing Siri on unsupported devices.
Spire is available for free in Cydia Store and it downloads the Siri directly from Apple, it is a huge 100MB file.
Despite all the efforts, Spire still has one small hurdle to clear, Authorization. Just like the previous tweaks and hacks, Apple still requires authorization to use Siri, so to send and receive information a iPhone 4S is still required. But to bypass that Spire allows you to add a proxy server which would help Siri function as it should via the Proxy server.

Paul has also setup a Spire Proxy FAQ to make it easy for anyone to get Siri working for their device.

All these efforts by various developers has finally paid off and now every jailbroken device could install Siri’s twin sister ‘H1Siri‘ via Cydia. The App claims to work exactly like Siri and all the requests are processed through a proxy server.

It is available on the this Cydia repository http://www.iphone3gsystem.fr/cydia/
It works as it is says but since it runs all the processes through a proxy server setup by the developers at CD-Dev Team it isn’t really advisable for you to install it as it might collect your personal data easily. Check the non-working demo by iDownloadblog.com after the jump.

Many known jailbreak developers have said that this hack works but is illegal and uses copyrighted binaries from the iPhone 4S .
Right now the proxy server is completely slammed and since the Siri requests were pouring is heavily the server is down and could be down for few weeks.

This might not be the perfect Siri port or a very legit way to port Siri to other devices, but surely the work done by the developers is commendable. The Cydia hack despite not being liked for its illegality it surely is the first fully working Siri hack and leaves us hopes of getting Siri on all devices soon.

Genius developers at Applidium have managed to decipher Siri’s security protocol and explained it on their blog very neatly. For users who might feel that blog post is very technical here what it means to you. If you don’t have an iPhone 4S, you can still get Siri on your device. Just wait for a developer to develop an App around the tools provided by Applidium.

There is only one problem in this, to communicate with Apple’s servers from another device you will need an identifier of iPhone 4S, as Siri requires the unique identifier every time it contacts Apple’s server, which is unique to each iPhone 4S. Without that identifier a device cannot contact Siri’s server and access would be denied. The developers haven’t revealed or released the unique identifier of their device, as there are chances that if Apple servers get too many requests from a single identifier it would be obvious that the identifier is being used by more than one device and it might get blacklisted or banned.

If you are a developer, you can read Applidium’s full technical post and use their collection of tools to easily decipher Siri’s security protocols and develop an App for some other platform or just to port it to any other iDevice.
