I stand corrected! Though I stick by my comment that it's a bit redundant until iOS 5 ;-)
(Or (hypothetical) you only have about 10 contacts!)
For voice calls yes, not for SMS.
Edit: Apparently you can. Should have lurked in the post more before I commented.
I followed the link and read the article on ieatapples.
I was amused by the part where it talked about how developers are "pissed" at the reminders and camera apps. It pretty much falls into the "competition is good!" category. If they want to keep their apps alive, they need to update their apps with new ideas. Did they think they'd be able to come up with something and just coast on the idea for years? Development isn't a cakewalk, and people who treat it like such, or who got on board thinking they'd be able to make a quick buck, should fall to the wayside and make room for more committed developers.
I admire the guy from instapaper. at first, he was upset that apple duplicated his functionality. Then he basically said "well. Time to start coming up with some new updates and new functionalities." He will do fine because he'll always look to stay ahead of the curve, and those are the developers that are worth buying from.

Photos app for iPad
Does anybody know if Events in the Photo app on the iPad can be arranged by name in iOS 5? Right now they are arranged by date. In iPhoto, they can be arranged by name, date or manually. I was hoping iOS 5 would add this ability to the iPad. Thanks.

Not sure if it's the same but I know that whatever notes I create in the notepad app on either device, show up on both devices, as long as both are connected via wifi.
Oh yes, one other thing I really wanted, but not seen it mentioned, perhaps someone with ios5 can try it.
You know how you can now make folders on the desktop by dragging an icon over another icon. Then it creates a folder.
Well, can you now do the same again inside the folder to create a sub folder?
I've wanted sub folders from the 1st moment we had folders, as Apple limit the number of icons a folder can contain, we really need just 1 level of subfolders.
I've not seen anyone mention this yet.

I doubt it, what sort of changes are you looking for? No sarcasm, just curious.
Also if Apple is going to stick with Google for maps, I'd love to see turn by turn but I don't see that happening as it puts navigon, tom tom, etc...out.

I totally agree with you. With hundreds of thousands of apps on the App Store, every new feature is bound to eliminate some redundant apps. Many features like camera editing features come on other platforms built-in so those pissed off devs should be happy they got some money while it lasted.
Agreed. When you provide things that are "add-ons" or enhancements to the OS or an application, you're always at risk of being made obsolete. Even true for my company who has had several "big features" in our software outdated by updates to the software we plug into.
They should not be pissed... they should have seen it coming.
Was just playing with YouTube and the sound from the video will play in the backround. When u exit the app it stops but just double click the home button swipe to the right and is instead of the music app the YouTube app will be there so just tap the play button.
I know I was using it on my 3G which I never updated to iOS4
Really?
If it's local stuff I like, including the DJs, then no, Pandora is NOT better radio because it doesn't have (necessarily) the music I like or the hosts.
Especially since last I heard, Congress decided to go with the RIAA for how to charge online Radio stations (could be mistaken, I'll admit, but last I heard they got rid of the "whichever is cheaper" option.) so they choose not to stream online.
They didn't "kill" the popover menu. It still comes up, they just added the slide in from the left option.
I think you meant "double click"
I noticed "New Voice in Voice Control" in the list, does anybody now what he's talking about?
Right. Because Apple has a long history of caring whether they put third party developers .... out. </sarcasm>
You asked for a definitive list, not a comprehensive, complete, or exhaustive one. Enough room for interpretation that there's no need to be a complete jerk about it.
Also, i was gonna let it slide, but since you opened the door... I would think that a giant codpiece like you would know how to properly use the term "begging the question."
It's been confirmed that Apple is using Google's maps for iOS 5. I'm pretty sure that turn-by-turn has been available on the Android phones for awhile now? And IMO Apple isn't really too agitated about duplicating functionality provided by other apps; if they were, why did they introduce "deep integration" with Twitter, Facebook, pushing aside those apps?
Doesnt the iphone have a little LED on the front to show things. Like flash red when battery is low and orange when charging? My HTC Desire does, it flashes different colours to show things such as text message or email.
Agreed but my next reasoning would more or less be the fact that Google would prefer to keep this functionality native to Android.
Yeah, why is it not like on the iPad (or SBSettings...?) I need to dim my phone every night to use it as a bedside alarm clock...
