Screenshot of new weather app (hourly forcast expanded):

this is pretty lame. why not the app itself shows updated temp without having to launch it.

You can swipe the widgets in the status bar, and get a forecast by swiping the weather widget.

On lock screen, you can slide the logo of the notification to open the app.

This sounds pretty cool for a quick reference, but it sucks that here in Australia Yahoo weather (where Apple gets their weather.app info from) is always a few degrees off.

it doesn't necessarily means there's a fake base station around. Sometimes, specially in rural areas, carriers turn off encryption in case the base station can't handle all the calls.. i've seen it happening y very very crouded places.

Is the Places tab missing in the Photos app? The place where you could see all your photos on a map?

This whole MobileMe and iCloud thing is a mess. Why do I need ANOTHER free @me.com address to sync mail with iCloud? Its RETARDED.

sorry if not new or has been mentioned....

you can turn off badge app icon which means I can still get notifications from an app but dont have to have to open it up now to get rid of that red number.

For some reason, under the App Store in Settings, I don't get Automatic Downloads for Music.

I don't get the "Purchased" tab in my iTunes app either. What gives?

iOS 5 is seriously complicated, its driving me nuts.

Lol, im in basingstoke so exactly the same issue.
Bit annoyed would have been cool

Though the mrs has just been able to get all her purchases back after a problem, its already filled 60GB space (thats just videos / movies )


So.... lolz

 

[Sodner]

Wow all this is super cool. Can't wait for iOS 5 to come out. Now do I become a "developer" to get it eaarly? Humm...

Any major bugs that would make putting iOS 5 on phone thats needed (not hyper critical) not worth doing?

 

[bigjnyc]

awesome thread.

 

[AppleFanatic10]

Yeah, what's the deal with that?!?! It won't go into a folder. I just stuck it on my last page.

Has anyone found out where to get magazines for newstand?? I can't click on store or anything from the Newstand app.

I had 4 updates today, and I noticed that they were downloading concurrently. As far as I know, in iOS < 5.0, app updates would download one at a time.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet.

I noticed this as well about 0400 this morning and could not quite remember if it worked with < iOS 5.

Cool feature though

Loving the keyboard for posting to twitter, also note the uneven size of the bottom three keys, this carries across to the email/website keyboards as well.

Agreed, very well done.

 

[Nuttyphilt]

Is there any way to refresh podcasts directly on the phone? This would be the only reason I'd need to sync with iTunes in iOS 5...

Thanks in advance.
