Apple unveils iOS 5, brings notifications but little else

06 June, 2011
This year's WWDC keynote saw no new hardware announcements and instead it was MacOS and iOS that took center stage. Apple unveiled the next major release, iOS 5, for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch...

    And people say Apple are always creative, yeah sure.
    They just copy others' work then add few adjustments and brag about it.
    That notification system is exactly like Android's. Or if I'm honest, they just changed the wallpaper, lol.

            I'm really impressed with iCloud, in fact, is the only thing really deserves an applause rom iOS5, however, seems like apple is running out of new ideas.

            iOS is one of the more user friendly OS I never see, but, this is getting boring with the pass of time. I hope they make something new or they will be leaved far behind new OS.

            About Gingerbread, well, stills not so user friendly as iOS, BUT, still very capable :D

              Anonymous, 06 Jun 2011shoo symbian is dead!!! It's not dead yet but I have to acknowledge that the masses are no longer buying Symbian devices. It's more on life support and even though Elop said it will be supported until 2016, it was done in desperation but the damage brought by the burning platform memo has been done.

                AnonD-1825, 06 Jun 2011You should check iCloud, i think it's the biggest thing tod... moreOk i do NOT agree with you, i respect your point of view but i really dont trust to upload all my life in a "Cloud",

                and knowing recently that people's info is worth lots of CASH, and god knows why they want our info, i really dont believe those corporations, just remember that they are not ur friends nor ur family so people shouldnt trust a company just because they like them,

                they just want to sell and benefit, and these days they would make millions out of ur info thats why its free.

                Ull say oh what do they want with me or who am i to worry, once ur completly transparent and they know all ur life, that even they will know u better than ur family then ull regret.

                  AnonD-4697, 06 Jun 2011Well this looks more an ANDROID CLONE than iOS. And like... moreI know. This conference is so underwhelming. It isn't as exciting as when Nokia announced Symbian Anna with those new icons and bling. iOS 5 is more of an evolution while Symbian Anna is more like catching up. Soon S^3 will surpass Android in terms of user experience. The new Nokia icons and fonts will add the needed "bling" and the user experience will be better than Gingerbread.

                  /sarcasm

                        The future is in the cloud and Apple is first one there, wonder when others coming

                        And by the way, it's FREE!

                                    But what is this? developers tools: Customize UI

                                    it was bolded white text, so it's something bigger.

                                    And Apple, nice job supporting 3gs
