Which iOS 5 feature are you most excited about?

r2shyyou · Oct 12, 2011, 01:23 PM

I know there are over 200 new features but, of the major ones (the ones Apple highlights on their iOS page), which are you most excited about?

notification center. Everytime I got a notification from pre-IoS5, I want to kill the phone.

I must say, i have been using iCloud for about 3 months now and love it. The Ability to sync all devices with the same data is really cool.

Other then that, I like "newsstand" , but i LOVE the Zinio app, so i do not know what I'm going to do here.

The Split keyboard is nice on the iPad.

iTunes Match is really cool too

Notifications!

Looking forward to the split keyboard...

and all the other stuff too.... might watch the keynote on ios5 to remind myself of the really cool features while I wait on this download!

Wireless syncing is awesome or maybe Notification center for the big ones one of the two, but for the rest honestly custom sms sounds!! This is something apple should have implimented back on iOS 2.x or 3.x but it is good to have it now.

Did anyone else notice there is a place under settings for LED flash for alerts and something called assistive touch? What are these?

you can make it flash when you have an alert. Like if you have your ringer off, it can notify you by a flash

what the screen?

pchan0 · Oct 12, 2011, 01:31 PM

tabbed browsing!!

I'll tell you the feature that I'm most not excited about (aka, my most hated feature) of iOS 5:

The "un-deletability" of Newsstand. For those of us who like reading magazines on a bigger screen, or actually having a physical magazine, why is it necessary for us to have that Newsstand app/folder on the home screen? They should at least make an option for people like me to delete it or hide in some legitimate way (not the pseudo-solution of putting it on the last page or something).

But yeah, most exciting feature for me is Notifications. You have no idea how overjoyed I am at not seeing those damned pop-ups!

Where's the "none" option?
