iOS 5 features - What interests you most?

[APlotdevice]

A "Documents folder" which any app could save to or load from. This would allow us to share files between compatible apps, instead of having to copy it into each app. Also it would make it easier to manage non-multimedia files in iTunes, could give us a place to download and upload files with Safari, and potentially make the process of sharing files with other iOS users effortless.

To address the security concerns you could be required to select the files manually, using a system wide dialog (which would only show compatible files).

Location specific security. I don't need a password when I'm at home.

Is there a jailbreak that will do this?

What I meant was its off on my device since I don't know anyone else with the beta. Oops

You don't have to keep it off. It will only send it as an iMessage if the receiving iPhone is a known device running iOS 5.

Don't forget the split keyboard too

I've used this and I have to say it makes my onscreen typing almost as fast as my plain keyboard or iPhone screen. It's awesome.

Scrolling screen when you swipe, apps expanding when opened, the screen sliding up when you view recently run programs etc. All the nice "pretty's" that do make the phone great to view and use, BUT do make things slower to occur.

This is fine while you have an abundance of power (i.e. not battery), plenty of processing ability, and dont mind the slight speed degredation for a slight increase in user interface looks.

Yep. It effects me a lot, because I often have to quickly start taking notes during phone calls, while talking to customers, do quick calculations... And honestly, even when it's not important that things are faster, I still get really ticked while using the phone normally. With the processing power of this, I shouldn't have to live with the terrible slowness

wifi sync is going to be huge for me.

 

[fertilized-egg]

How come nobody has released a hack for this via Cydia?

Not a complete elimination of animation but we do have a massive speed up of animation through FakeClockUp at Cydia. It can really make things zippy.

oh. in that case, love potion #8.

I just want game saves being synced between devices. To my knowledge this hasn't been conformed for iCloud.

i think iCloud can support this, but it needs to be implemented by the developer.

That's pretty much what I've been hearing. I'm not a dev, but that's something I feel should be required by Apple. If it's not, it just won't work.

Apple should allow more notification center widgets.

Indeed.

 

[brendu]

-iMessage is going to save me money (just downgraded to 1000 messages before AT&T got rid of the option) so its at the top of my list.
-Notifications are second because they will be the most drastic change in iOS that I can see.

Pretty bummed its not out yet but I can wait until its ready.

I hope this is true:

That's awesome, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

 

[iBreatheApple]

A wifi button added to the swipe-down menu.

 

[Shockwave78]

5 icon springboard, there is so much wasted dead space there doing nothing. Even when the ipad was released i could not believe that they did not fill all that space up with more icons. Use the space!!!

 

[redout]

Ability to password protect folders and apps.

 

[andrewlgm]

What's your most wanted feature that currently isn't in iOS 4 or iOS 5?

I'll start... The ability to turn off all animations. I miss that feature from Android SO much. It basically makes your whole experience 2x faster. Whipping out your calculator app never seemed so awesome.

God my list of wants is huge: SBS settings, Activator, turn off animations, bluetooth file transfers, file manager, and last but not least - flash. Yep. I'd love a little button under settings for flash on or off.

 

[VolceOntra]

BiteSMS like quick text reply.

 

[fizzwinkus]

oh, i've got one: hide newsstand

 

[AtomicGrog]

#1? I just want the new product out there, I have two 3G's to refresh and wont be buying the 4G (at least not until it's heavily discounted as beeing the old version...).
