Yeah, that's got to be fake. The grammar is atrocious on the slides. No way that's an Apple presentation.

Honestly if this is what iOS 5 is all about I'm getting rid of my phone, there is so much room for improvement and they are focused on twitter???
Seriously at least go with Facebook if ur going to Intergrate something

That. was. hilarious.
Some nice ideas, conceptually, but anyone actually buying into those being from Apple is incredibly naive.
If somebody wants to make a fake keynote...do it right
1. Font of iOS and 5 are different
2. Typing on screens is too small
3. Too many words on each slide
4. Too many screenshots - this is usually done with a demo, not screen shots.
5. Steve Jobs does not, generally speaking, write his keynotes in Chinese and then use Google Translate to convert them to English.

Man, all you guys not using twitter are missing out. It's not (just) about following friends, I use it for news. Vastly superior way to stay up on the news, particularly local news. I for oneam curious to hear what these new features could be. Things like automatically using local traffic tweets to improve the maps function or local business tweets to aid yelp search results could be interesting.
Also, it's so boring to read feeds of a bunch of people claiming they don't use x service, clearly many, many people love twitter, if it's not for you, skip this thread and move on.

On this thread it took 26 posts for someone to say something positive about Twitter.
I never use Twitter, and don't ever want to. Like Bebo, Myspace, Friends Reunited, Ping etc., I think it's a fad. Apple isn't a fad, it's a long-term commitment to an operating system and I really hope they aren't associating themselves too closely with Twitter.

Ok... So by your logic, RSS feeds are useless since websites exist? I'm not sure where in my post you thought I acted like twitter is the best thing ever, I'm just saying that I've gotten news through twitter which would never have existed otherwise that really helped me out. Like at a music festival, you can know where the longest lines are to scoid those shows or show up early enough to get in.
Anyway, you seem to just want to be a jerk for the sake of being a jerk. Enjoy that. I'm going to continue to use good services for good purposes.

People who talk about not using it. Boring as hell, if you don't like something why do you care if it gets used and other people get to enjoy it?

You clearly don't own an iPad. No Facebook app for the iPad, and it's stupid as hell.
Also, I want to read this thread because I'm actually interested, you know, in the thread. Don't defend the jerks highjacking the thread to bitch and moan, and tell me, whose actually posting things relevant to the topic, to go away.

I've used twitter once and that is when I made the account, but I'd rather have Facebook. I don't use Facebook that much but it would be welcomed, but good for those who do use it. I don't mind it as long as it doesn't get in the way ie and app I can't delete. But other than that it's fine with me
App services
I think they are going To do App services, which will be similar to mac services
Devs can register their app with the system advertising the types of data their app can handle and what methods are available.
This way any app can have "deep" intergation with the os.
for example:
You select some text then select the "service" option this will show a list of app the apps that can deal with text. You select twitter then you can select to post a new tweet based on the text. In the background the twitter app is spun up and a tweet is posted without leaving the app you are in. Same could easily be done for Facebook posts.
Another example you select a picture in the photos app then select service. flickr, face kook, twitter are listed. you select flickr then upload image. Consuming an image service could also be done by selecting an image in an email or on a web page.
If Apple decide to do widgets then the services could easily be consumed by these widgets.. A widget for posting a tweet for example.
Of course the user will have full control on which apps are available as a service.

I'm guessing Apple reached out but Zuckerberg didn't want to play. I have a feeling that Monday Facebook is going to be kicking themselves. It's also kind funny that you would want Facebook integration but not Twitter.

Listen I'm not being a jerk, I'm being sarcastic. A full integration for a service that is simply merely "app" worthy isn't something to focus on in a developers conference. Android already has mass integration of Facebook and twitter throughout their OS, but you don't see them holding a conference for it.
The shear fact that they are excited to announce this is lowering the value of the operating system.
Yes there is goingto be a new notification system (thank god) and basically everything that jailbreakers work for should be a full integration like better email integration throughout the whole system... NOT TWITTER!!
Twitter is decent for an app or widget but for what the rumors are talking about is outlandish and uncalled for lowering the expectations of a highly anticipated operating upgrade

Possible. Also possible is that Facebook wouldn't really be useful for what they're doing. Facebook is trying to play catch up to twitters live feed, but the lack of a character limit really hampers the valuableness of Facebook for thus kind of thing. Facebook is great for talking to friends you have in real life, twitter is for getting information people you may not actually be friends with.

So you have inside info that they won't actually announce more info on lion or the rest iOS 5 or icloud? Because clearly this one rumor is going to take up the WHOLE presentation. In fact, apple nay just shut down and become s developer for twitter.
See sarcasm has a place, and being a hyperbolic jerk on a forum isn't helpful.

I did not know that, because I do not own an iPad. I assumed you meant the iPhone, since you were posting from one:
Congratulations. I guess.
OK, I went back and read my post.
1) I didn't defend them.
2) I didn't tell you to go away.
3) Now you're bitching and moaning.
4) Nothing in your post quoted here was relevant to Twitter in iOS 5.

Who cares. I'd rather have facebook photo integration. I'm not a big FB user but have noticed I do post more photos since I've had the fb app on my iPhone. It's usually just odd/funny type photos I see while out a d abou on my travels. I'm sure some people are salivating over this though!
