News stand... I quite like the idea of this!

Noticed they are showing the news stand on an iPad... hope this is available for the iPhone...

Twitter to be integrated into the iOS... Not really that interested - Only use Twitter to keep up to date with band twitter pages - And most updates I have sent through text to my phone anyway

 

[Marky]

Was expecting a little more from the Twitter integration to be honest - The blogs really bigged up a feature that is basically forcing every iOS user to have Twitter installed...

 

[Marky]

LOVE the tabbed browsing - Is this going to be iPad only though? It scares me when they show stuff like this on an iPad

 

[Marky]

What does "Geo-Fence" mean?

 

[Marky]

Volume Up button to take photos now Very nice

Can set a location and/or radius around a gos location to trigger an event, in this case a todo list/reminder.

So you can set a reminder to alert me to it when I arrive at a certain destination? That would be pretty cool

Is iOS5 supported on the 3GS?

They haven't said yet

 

[Marky]

I like the little dictionary that comes up On the iPad again...

 

[Marky]

2:08PM Also, software updates are OTA.

Hells yeah

 

[Marky]

Game Center... Yawn

 

[Marky]

What are Delta updates?

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.

iMessage?! Is this finally a Blackberry Pin for iPhone?!

 

[Marky]

Finally! I will probably still end up using Whatsapp more though

 

[Marky]

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

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

This is business.

 

[Marky]

iOS 5...

Developers get a seed today for the SDK

Customers get the full version "This fall"

 

[Marky]

And it will work on the 3GS!

Now on to iCloud Really looking forward to seeing what they have in store for this

 

[Marky]

2:24PM "Now why should I believe them? They're the ones who brought me MobileMe." Hah! Steve just called MobileMe "not our finest hour."

Haha at least he admits it

I'm surprised they didn't go into detail with the Customize UI feature - I guess we will know more over the next few days as developers have a play

 

[Marky]

2:27PM MobileMe used to cost $99 annually. "As of today this product ceases to exist."

BOOOM! No more MobileMe!

 

[Marky]

Hell yes! Free iCloud at least with them apps...
