We touched on the numbers in our report on Apple’s Q1 earnings, but the company’s throwing out a lot of “record” figures so we thought we’d take a moment to focus on just how its hardware sales stack up. The standout number is, of course, the 37.04 million iPhones sold during the quarter, which is up 128 percent from the same quarter a year ago (and up from 17 million in the previous quarter, a jump of 117 percent). That notably puts Apple back ahead of Samsung, which sold a total of 35 million smartphones in its most recent quarter . . . → Read More: Apple’s Q1 hardware sales: 37 million iPhones, 15.43 million iPads, 5.2 million Macs, 15.4 million iPods

Sure, it’s leaps and bounds away from all the parlor tricks that Siri is able to perform, but now, jailbroken iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch devices — that have been upgraded to iOS 5 — may access the dictation portion of Siri’s prowess. Thanks to Siri0us, the free app available through Cydia , users will gain the option to speak messages and search queries rather than type them, which could be a huge time saver — unless there’s a series of mistakes, anyway. Rather than accessing Apple’s own system, the app works by tapping into Nuance’s Dragon Go servers for speech recognition . . . → Read More: Jailbroken iOS 5 devices get Siri0us, tap into Nuance’s dictation servers (video) (update)
