iOS 5.0 - A Rundown

nerdology:

Apple announced iOS 5.0 today and it’s coming this fall. Here is a quick rundown of some of the features.

PC Free - Apple is cutting the cord on iOS. Finally.  I’ve said before that the biggest problem with the iPad is that the first thing you have to do is plug it into a computer. With the release of iOS 5 you don’t have to do that. The hardware will work right out of the box and even update over the air.  In my opinion this is a huge announcement for the future of iPad.

Notifications - We finally get new notifications on iOS with Notification Center.  A single place to manager your notifications. You’ll also get an alert on the top of your screen, where clock is, so it won’t interrupt the app you are currently in. Thank you.  To go a step beyond you can jump into an app right from the lock screen.  So if you get a text message you can unlock your phone directly into that message. A huge leap in the right direction.

Twitter - It’s hard wired into every app now just like email, and MMS.  You can tweet from Safari, YouTube and Maps.  Really interesting. Apple is betting hard on Twitter.
