Apple iProduct users rejoice, from October 12th you can update your iPhone, iPod and iPad with iOS5, Apple's newest operating system. At the "Let's talk iPhone" event held yesterday, Scott Forstall, Apple’s senior vice president of iOS software spoke about the top features of this iOS5. Let’s have a quick look at its top 10 features that makes it highly desirable:
1. Better Notification: The fifth version of iOS provides much better notifications including the game centre updates, new apps update and a lot more updates like e-mail, text and weather.
2. iMessage: Now you can connect yourself to all your friends through iMessage via 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity. You can easily share files via Wi-Fi connection between any two Apple devices. You can even resume the conversation where you have left last time.
3. Reminders: One good feature of iOS5 is that the feature of reminding events is much more than just being an alarm update. The iOS5 combines the to-do-list and the reminders. So, now you won’t forget your important meeting, which is enlisted, in your to-do-list.
4. Twitter Integration: Previously, the apps were available for Twitter, but now it comes integrated with the iOS5 software. Now you can stay active on Twitter and share websites from Safari, YouTube, Photos app and more.
5. Newsstand: Now just like Game Centre, you have a separate folder for the Newsstand in which you can download all that apps of your favorite newsletters like New York Times and the New Yorker etc. So, it is expected that now later in Indian store too you will get all access to download all Indian news letters apps in this folder.
6. Camera: The iOS5 has come up with an exciting feature through which you can click instant pictures. Now you need not to unlock your device and start the camera. To click an instant picture you just need to tap twice ion the home screen along with pressing the camera button. As you do it, your handset gets ready to capture the incidents, which rarely appears for a second like the Nightingale flying from a pond.
7. New Safari: Now the Safari will be connected to the iCloud service which is also announced to begin from October 12. You can switch between two web pages whenever you want and if you want to cut and paste. You can read it again after some time then you can save it in the iCloud via Safari Reader tool.
8. Mail: The iOS mailbox has customized into more or like other traditional mailboxes. Now you will get the flag messages of all your e-mails and the interface of the mailbox will also changed a lot. You will see a complete new design of inbox and outbox for your mails.
9. Game Centre: Gaming is our next frontier and we are planning to come up with a new game just similar to the Infinity Blade, which is one of the best gaming app available on the App store.
10. PC Free: Now with the launch of the iOS5 your dependency on the PC for installing new updates in your iPhone, iPod and iPad gets over. Now you can activate your handset without connecting it to any PC and along with this you can use the iCloud service just like you will use it on the PC.
