Apple ios 5- A Revolutionary OS

The Apple’s all new ios 5 boasts of more than 200 exciting features for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. The ios 5 will be made available by Apple this fall, with compatibility assured for iPhone 4 and 3GS, iPad 1&2 , and iPod touch 3rd and 4th generation.

The foremost new feature would be a new notification center which aggregates all your notifications into one and is accessible by swiping down a menu from top of the screen (Looks like Apple has also gone the Android way when it comes to Navigation). Notifications are also making their way onto the lock screen, where swiping across a text message takes you right into it. A little something like Samsung's TouchWiz implementation.


Another popular feature of ios 5 is Twitter integration, where with a single sign in you can let multiple apps make use of your Twitter credentials including camera and photos program, letting you tweet images directly from your gallery. What seems to be a very intelligent feature is self descriptive feature which is intelligent enough to remind you to do things based upon your location. A new split keyboard has also been shown off in ios 5. A significant novelty is the iMessage, a messaging service dedicatedly for ios users, which comes with a delivery and read receipts, an indicator for when the other party is typing, and the ability to push message to all your devices.

With these and many more amazing features such as Newsstand, a custom newsstand for all your subscriptions, advanced camera with flexibility of using the camera button right from the lock screen and use of volume up button to snap a pic in a flash, Advanced photo enhancement feature, netsurfing with all new safari web browser, game centre and Wi fi sync are just to name a few. The list of fully loaded ios features just goes on. It would not be wrong to say that with ios 5, Apple has taken an operating system which was already years ahead in technological breakthrough further ahead.
