I missed where it stated that these were the only features being shipped with iOS6.
Do you really think they're going to leak the keynote ones ahead of the keynote?
Got a tip for us?

Forward your gmail to iCloud and only sign up to websites with the gmail address. I then give out my iCloud address to friends and family.
Best of both worlds!
LOL. I can imagine the keynote a week from now:
"Welcome everyone, Today we will unveil to you iOS6. We have worked night and day for the past year and here are the three features that our hundreds of thousands of work hours have produced. Drum roll please..."
Look at the picture in the article at the top of the page. It bring up a list of tabs that are open elsewhere and let's you pick which one you want to view.

Those capabilities need to be built in to the apps themselves. When Apple updates iWork, they will surely opening and closing in iCloud. It's already working in the ML versions of Preview and TextEdit, and it's very cool. The user is presented with two "open from" locations and two "save to" locations - the local computer or iCloud. One would assume that eventually third-party apps will be able to use iCloud storage as well.
The focus user group, which you are not a part of, doesn't need a new UI design.
So why don't you just go back to jail breaking your iPhone to create the UI you think is so much better for you instead of expecting Apple to change things to how you want it because you want it.
Oh and don't bother with the big words, it doesn't impress.
----------
Given that a number of the websites I look at on my computer I do so because they require Flash and thus wouldn't work on my iPad, I would say no. I want to have to pick what off the list I open across the system.

I see the annual "it's not what I would include so it's automatic crappola and everyone should agree with me" bash fest has begun.
So nice to see some things never change.
So many things wrong with this comment.
1. "doesn't need a new UI design."
Sure you don't even understand what UI design is given you're specifically quoting a single line of my comment. Well done.
2. "So why don't you just go back to jail breaking your iPhone"
Go back would imply Im a jail breaker. I'm afraid I'm not.
3. "to create the UI you think is so much better for you instead of expecting Apple to change things to how you want it because you want it."
I'm not a UI designer. But sure, I am trying.
4. "Oh and don't bother with the big words, it doesn't impress." You consider yourself to be very important. Why in hell did you think I was impressing you? Moreover, those words are part of the standard UIKit framework in iOS.
I'd love a gesture that would with the screen off, but I'm sure there's a battery hit with listening for gestures all the time. I don't like the current implementation for sure.
----------
If we do indeed see a larger screen iPhone with a longer display, we might see some new UI concepts.
Have a look around cocoacontrols.com, there's some great little navigation and tab implementations.
I'd also like an API to access the home screen icon. A retina display icon, especially on an iPad, provides reasonable real estate for a "widget"
It's always driven me crazy that the stock calendar icon updates but the weather one doesn't. Badges don't really provide the same information level.
So a non expert that has perhaps a few months experience with dabbing in the developer tools thinks he knows more than folks that have been awarded multiple times for their design work. Not to mention created products that have sold millions of units year after year.
Good to know the full standing. Now your tossing around big words really doesn't impress.
Fact is that you've only proven that you have access to the developer tools and can read the dictionary of terms. Not that you have any understanding of Apple's design focus group or the needs of that group to state that the current UI design is 'defective' in suiting the needs of that group. All you have shown is that you don't personally like the design for your own needs and you use that personal opinion to define "defective" Nor have you provided any proof that you can create a more effective design for yourself much less the actual design focus group that Apple uses.
I personally don't like a few of the features in iOS and wouldn't mind seeing them change. But I don't pretend to speak for everyone. Nor do I pretend like I'm some expert on what everyone else should find defective or how to fix it because I signed up for a developer account (and possibly a free one at that) and looked up the names of a couple of the frameworks.

OMG. When did I say I was better than those guys.
So what you basically are saying is that any critic of any kind (with x months of experience in that particular kind) thinks he knows more than the professional folks?
Firstly, I'm amazed at your analytical skills for coming to that conclusion. Moreover, it's highly ignorant for someone like you to dismiss a person with less experience or professional degree whilst comparing him/her to professionals. You know most professionals in these big corporates are the reasons for their downfall. I'm not pointing to Apple but a lot of the other major tech failures. I'm not saying I'm better than them. I'm saying that I think some designs could've been better. What you're saying is that those people working at Apple are gods and all of what they do is mighty and perfect and irreplaceable.
Wow, ****ing delusional some people are.
----------
Can you be less condescending? There are some things that don't match to Apple's standards in terms of the design. I've given you examples. Look for a thing called - Mountain ****ing Lion and see how Apple has done so much better in terms of UI design.
I don't have to become a footballer to say that Rooney ****ed up. I don't have to become a golf player to claim that Woods was **** tonight. I don't have to become a movie director to claim that the movie was **** and it could've been better.
Be less condescending. Alright?
For setting reminders, timers, and alarms (which is pretty much all I use Siri for) it works 90% of the time for me
we need business features
ios 6 must include important improvements in exchange synchronisation (sms sync, call yournal), systemwide smb connectivity (cant be that difficult, offline files, automatic vpn tunnels etc)
at this point business clients are a big factor, so i'm hoping apple cares about refining the teaming with windows server world...

I get what he was saying, some features are neat but in the overall OS it's been bland for a while... "one diamond in a field of coal, is still a field of coal."
Safari Tab Syncing
So...... In theory.....
You're in the hotel room on a business trip surfing some sweet porn sites on your MacBook.
Meanwhile, the wife's at home on the iMac checking out the same porn sites because your tabs are synced.
Even better, the kids are also using the iPad.
Yep, that sounds pretty awesome. Don't forget to turn on private browsing! LOL

Apple really needs to loosen things up in terms of app to app communication. I love my iPad and wouldn't trade it for any android tablet but apple can still retain the user experience and allow apps to talk to each other a bit better. I especially hate that there a no browser plugins. Read it later (pocket) is a good example on how locked down things are. In order to send something to Pocket or Readability you have to copy the URL. Luckily those apps are aware of the clipboard and prompt you if you want to add the URL you just copied to your reading list but there should be a native way of sending data from safari to any app that will listen.
Another thorn in my shoe is google integration. I needed to install 5 different apps to be able to edit a google doc, download it so I can send it as an attachment to a group of people via gmail. And this is on a jail broken iPad. As much as apple wants to distance itself from google, they need to realize that everyone uses google. Maybe this is googles fault and not apples but still the consumer suffers.

I think Safari extensions will come, and I think improved file management between apps will come as well. The latter is very restrictive and quite a big issue, hopefully Apple will fix it in iOS 6.
Tab syncing across devices. Does anyone else find it a tad hypocritical that Apple has started taking features from Android/Chrome on one hand, then whine about features being stolen from ios on the other hand? Regardless, I love this feature on ICS and welcome it on OSX/iOS as well.
Been waiting for them to give us an option to turn off app notifications without having to silence the whole phone ever since they removed that feat a while back. So ready for this.

Adblock on my iPad would make my life.

tab syncing is awesome! It is like Apple wants us to get back to actual desktops, since I get inspired and start most of my readings on the go. this way I would start using my computer again! I hope it works seamlessly, because reading list takes ages to sync...
