Camera from Lockscreen

Im interested to know if the camera app starts up any faster at all with iOS5?

What's the performance like from the lockscreen also.

Thanks
 
alternate routes, weather icon still says 73. ipod is now music and theres a seperate video app.

Cool, thanks.

Has the interface in Music changed at all? Does it reflect the iPad's "iTunes-lite" feel?

And was there a reason to split the two? Personally, I liked having them both in the iPod app; can't think of a reason to split them at all.

Same as 4.3. No noticeable diff for me. Starts up same speed wether locks teen or not.

Shutter volume key is very nice. Pics are easier to take and less blurry

The interface hasn't changed at all. They just split up "iPod" into "Music" and "Videos" like on the iPod touch. Hopefully they'll change it back...

Haven't noticed a huge difference with the camera app. It might open a little faster, but that may be because of the fresh restore when you install iOS 5. It's snappy from the lockscreen too, very nice.

Newsstand can't be placed in a folder. Annoying.

Yeh, I find this extremely irritating. There's no reason why it can't be. Probably a bug? Hopefully?

Music is identical to what used to be iPod.
 
I don't know if it was asked before, but can you remove the stocks widget from the notification slider ?

I have a feeling it's meant to be like that. I think Apple wants to promote Newsstand as much as possible because of the priced reading materials...

Who knows though.

Most likely split the Music and Video app because icloud (not yet autocorrected as iCloud) does not support video...?

As for redesigned app, it's just icloud integration and a new icon. You can also delete songs right in the app.
 
Coupey,

One of the features mentioned (a bullet on one of the slides) was "option to speak text selection."

Can you let us know if there appears to be any way to do a voice to text in the SMS app? This would be a huge timesaver if you needed to send a quick SMS to someone while in the car, but stopped at a light.

Thanks!

Edited to include screenshot from the Engadget walkthrough...

There isn't. It's for reading certain text out loud like auto corrects
 
I'd like to know this too.

Thanks

No gContacts integration in iMessage. However, it can use peoples Gmail accounts as a way of identifying a user.

I can't seem to find the option to put the camera shortcut on the lockscreen. Any one else having troubles with that?

Dont think it is available in this beta from what I can gather. Though the volume button still works for taking a shot.

Yes.
 
Anyone notice geolocation not active in reminders for this beta?I don't see how to activate it.
 
On the notifications screen, is there a clear all option? Or do you have to clear them individually.

It seems to work for me. I haven't actually crossed the "geofence" yet, but it's seemingly working.

Just went into Reminders, clicked on the +, added one, went to "Remind Me" inside the settings, and turned on the location reminder.

It did ask if I wanted to turn on location services for the app. Make sure yours are enabled in the Settings app.

Individually, there is no way to turn them all off at once as of now...
 
Few points:

- Been playing with the iPhone on ios 5 all day and the battery seems the same as when I had 4.3

- Creating albums in 'Photos' is a nice feature

- Can't get 'tabs' to work in Safari!!!! Where is the option

- 'Reader' in Safari is a pretty nice feature

Will be nice when more widgets are available for 'pull down' screen
 
it is possible to downgrade your firmware and baseband. went from 4.11.04 (5.0) to 4.10.04 (4.3.3) the beta is running pretty smooth with some things not working (photo editing), music app is kinda slow from transitioning from coverflow to portrait..
 
Tabbed browsing is iPad-only, pretty sure.



Nope. Not unless you make a "donation" to one who is willing to register your device. ;)

Although even though no tabbed browsing, have option to load tabs/pages in background now (unless that was on 4.3 and I missed it :p )
