Should Microsoft pay Apple to get Airplay, iTunes, and other parts of Apple's ecosystem on Windows Mobile? There's a reason neither company gives away their crown jewels. At any price.

I'm not expecting a lot, but I hope they surprise us and give a lot more than we asked for - like iOS 5.
iOS 5 had hundreds of amazing features. iOS 6 just tweaked the OS a bit (that's how it feels to me).
iOS 7 needs to add 'something' fresh to the OS. I dont know what that 'something' might be, but it needs to be good.

Unless they also allow a more flexible way of synching those documents (like icloud for office), I don't see how it would work. You still face the problem of exporting saved documents (currently a tedious email to self + save attachment in dropbox).
Office for mac isn't that stellar anyways. Update iworks for mac, and I just might be ready to jump ship.
Pretty neat but those quick toggle buttons are hideous. If Apple does quick toggles they need to take a look at how NCSettings does them. I have that jailbreak on my iPhone and it puts whatever toggles you want in the notification tray and they look so good. It looks like something Apple would have designed.
You obviously don't exchange documents in the corporate or academic world, do you?Office for mac isn't that stellar anyways. Update iworks for mac, and I just might be ready to jump ship.
Probably right. iOS 7 saved for iPhone 7 in 2014 to get them back in sync
I suspect the "new iPhone" will probaby be called iPhone 6 not 5s. Or they could follow the iPad and call it "New iPhone". haha.However I suspect they have several versions of iOS already on the table and most likely always have new versions in the labs so iOS 7 could certainly have been in existence before Ives took over.

So the 5s stands for iPhone5_"Surprise". Nice. Since 4s was for Siri they cant use that one again. Surprise, its not an iPhone 6!
I've had iPhones for the past 5 years, IOS is getting stale it needs a major overhaul.
My son has a new android phone and I kinda like the UI. Not sayin I'd jump ship but do like it.

I exchange documents in both the corporate and academic worlds, and I don't use Office. Jus' sayin'.
Granted, I don't use iWork either, but still.
Throw some VB, macros and charts into one of those Office wannabes. Then send it to your boss.I exchange documents in both the corporate and academic worlds, and I don't use Office. Jus' sayin'.

Good lord, I certainly hope that iOS 7 does not end up in that state because that is just completely butt ugly and non conducive if you ask me.
That's because all the info is in Apple HQ. It's not like the manufactures in China where Apple has little control of who sees the components. And I'm pretty sure no Apple employee wants to risk their job just to leak out early info of iOS 7.
No, but I believe it takes a lot of work to change it to something that doesn't suck.
Exactly. As Ive (quite appropriate for this thread, I must add) once said: "It's very easy to be different, but very difficult to be better."
Have we has software leaks in the past? I wouldn't mind Apple doing some careful leaking to friendly media/bloggers. Not screen shots but something to generate some excitement.
I'd think they did -- the whole flatter, "this will make many people happy, but those who like the linen will be disappointed" thing.
I cannot see the notification center on my home screen. I don't see a notification alert on my home screen. That's what I liked about blackberry. I don't care or the notification center. Probably one of the reasons I haven't adopted android fully.
No.
Notification Center is completely broken right now.
Say you get a notification about an email or game center invite on your iPhone and iPad. You use notification center on your iPhone and now the notifications are gone but they're still on your iPad.
For unified Notification Center I want to see syncing.
It should be smart enough to know once you view a notification on one device, it is deleted on the rest of your devices. Or else it just adds up and every device has different notifications never in sync. Keeping them unified is a good thing.
