Ok everyone iOS 5 GM is out and with it comes new apps Find My Friends and Cards. Released on 12 October.
let's talk about the features of iOS5 and the 2 new apps.
I message is nice and fast no asking for PINS, secure and encrypted and best of all automatic.
Cards let's you send a Card from your iDevice for 2.99. I think hall mark better watch out. that's cheaper than buying the card and sending it yourself.
Find my friends: great app for families. It has privacy controls which is a plus.
Siri Assistant the Jailbreakers are already on this trying to port to older iDevices. Here's to hoping they get it done.
I haven't DL the beta, I'm waiting on it to come to iTunes. I'm going to put in on my i4 and acquaint myself with it while my i4s is in route. I do like the notification system they've incorporated.
Installed GM yesterday. Liking it so far. The notification center is such a relief. Not intrusive
anymore. I also like the fact that I can still turn off banners for certain apps.
I installed GM yesterday. GM fixed some minor issues that were in the final beta. Running real smooth and I finally have more than one person to iMessage with
Very much looking forward to my new iP4S, iOS5, and all the new features.
Except cards.
It's probably because I think buying cards for people is a waste of time...
iCards looks stupid.
If they do it won't matter because the hardware on the iP4 won't run it very well; not strong enough.
What most people dont realize is that Siri has been a 3rd party app in the app store for some time now that has been running on the iPhone 3G, 3GS, and 4. Apple bought the rights to the app and integrated it into the OS. So I don't see why it won't run on an iPhone 4. I'm just convinced that apple is making it exclusive to the 4S as an incentive to upgrade.
