Apple has had steady growth in the app and itunes download market since 2008 with over 12.5 billion paid out for apps and 15 billion in revenue Apple is happy and today it wants to make its Mobile users happy with IOS 5. The new IOS has a crap load of new features which include.
  1. A new notification system much like the android OS it will work in the background and will have an X on the bar so that you can dismiss it when you want to there is no clear all feature. But on the lockscreen when you swipe a text it will automatically take you to the message.

  3. Twitter integration sign in once and you will be able to tweet wih camera and places.

  5. Tabbed browsing will also be available this will make life easier for those who like to surf the web on the Ipad.
  6. Reminders very self descriptive but it is smart enough to remind you about things to do depending on where you are and it will be able to sync on all devices.
  7. the camera app is getting an overhaul too. The lockscreen will now have a camera button on it so you can take pics without having to unlock your phone. the volume button will also double as a shutter button in the camera app. You will also be getting a new editing features such as red eye reduction,cropping,rotation and,one click enhance.
  8. The new onscreen keyboard and personally the biggest new feature wireless syncing you will be able to download and install new apple updates not to mention with the new wireless sync you will only have to download what is new not the whole IOS over again.
  9. Imessage the new message system in IOS 5 it uses the push notification and it sort of acts like the BBM. You will be able to send pics,messages,videos and contacts. You will also be able to group message this service will work over 3g or wifi.
IOS 5 will ship and be able to be downloaded in the fall if you are anything like me look forward to it.
