iMessages = BBM will be in trouble

 

[Marky]

So the amount of stuff apple has nabbed of other companies in ios5 is how much? 80% ? lol

 

[Robbo]

iMessage is a good idea, given how popular the iPad is!

 

[MrMoonX]

bbm for ios cool , bye whats app

 

[squerble]

Delivery and read receipts = near enough exact port of BBM

Like the rest of the world hasn't copied iOS?

This is business.

Think they mean you only need to download the updates parts, i.e not the whole application each time.

It'll only include the bits that have actually changed - for example a large software update might only be 10% of actual changes. A delta update will only be the 10%, not a whole new OS that's only 10% different.

Good example is Time Machine backups - each time it only actually backs up what's changed since the last one.

I think it basically means it will only download and install things that are being changed in the OS update. So it won't be a whole new OS install - it'll just update the apps that need to be updated. Saves on data as the download is a lot less than a normal update.

Thanks guys.

iMessage would be cool if it then allows integration to my Macs too...

Well, whatsapp will still be good to communicate to Android and BB devices...

I still don't see the point of these IM unless your sending media (like it costs me 30p for a picture message) or if your going overseas..

I hope not to see "add my iPin sd7d7f" on facebook like with the BBM pins

Nope. Airdrop is the only thing I can see myself using on a daily basis, and only if it's cross platform.

I'm all excited, I never get any signal at work but we have wifi! 90% of my friends have iPhones as well.

 

[squerble]

WiFi sync!!! Finally
