I hate to be that guy...

So I hate to be a buzz kill or whatever, but what ever happened to the non-disclosure agreement you electronically signed to have access to the developer previews? That's supposed to be for developers, not so people can have early access to private software, show it off to their friends, then post illegal videos on YouTube. Seriously.

Lol this guy

Did u close your eyes during the WWDC?

Those features were shown; if u want everything to be a surprise (lame) don't click.

 

[ChrisDaMan]

No. Under a roof.

What if I need to watch this video on my mac without flash?

So why are you running without flash?!
Unless Lion doesn't support flash which = LOLOL

 

[Nobita]

Hmmm, is it just me or the multitasking gestures are not available on iPad 1?

Lion supports browser plug-ins, which means it supports Flash. It supports everything Snow Leopard did with the exception of Rosetta.

Maybe he's not running it because it's awful?

You can easily get away without running Flash using an HTML5 conversion extension and an iPad user agent string.

Of course I saw them, I was there. And it's not about things being a surprise, people just pay the $100 so they can have it on their devices and then post things on YouTube. Yes these things were demonstrated at WWDC, but they dont belong on YouTube. Apple has their own demonstration videos on their website. Go watch those.

This needs one of those patented Apple-ad "sequences shortened" disclaimers.

Darn it, I came on here to make that joke.

 

[Slurpy2k8]

I seriously do hope that with iOS 5, the output size while mirroring to a TV, will be bigger preferably wide screen, those black bars on the sides really do bug me.

Don't see how that will be possible, as they'd basically need to redo the entire interface for a 16:9 ratio.. which I doubt they would do simply for mirroring. But I agree, there should be a way to force it to stretch, even if it does distort a little.

I did watch those and they didn't cover everything.

U know I can write in all caps with my iPad 2 in iOS 5?

Yah and I'm not a dev either.

You know that "you" has three letters in it? And if you're trying to make a joke there, you lost me on it. Didn't even make any sense.

Very nice. I love the features, and it really kind of looks like they're bringing the Lion experience to iPad. Or more so, it looks almost like an iPad rendition of Mission Control. It seems like a convenience, but it looks to highly increase the speed and productivity of iPad use. Kind of almost a new desktop feel without becoming a desktop.

The video was also done pretty nice. Almost like an Apple promo video, in a way.

Damn. This isn't an OS. It's art.

Pretty much the highest expression of a mobile OS.

 

[Dr Kevorkian94]

i like it, and have it. its a bit buggy especially on the iphone. on the ipad there is one bug im aware of and it is when the ipad just shuts off randomly.

Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works. SJ

Are u seriously having trouble comprehending u = you


Obviously your feelings are hurt; please PM so I can play a violin for u

Anyone care to steer the conversation back to the topic? My iPad 1 running iOS 5 beta does not have multitasking gestures...

 

[zin]

I really hope those gestures make it to the first generation iPad.

 

[Kieranic]

I really don't see why they wouldn't to be honest.

 

[jowie]

I really don't see why they wouldn't to be honest.

But they already have. I'm using them now

 

[caspersoong]

I know it seems odd but I am still disappointed that there is no multitasking gestures for iPod touch and iPhone. I use it on my jailbroken iPod touch all the time. Seems like I have to continue jailbreaking for the feature.

In iOS 5?

 

[Nobita]

I don't see it in iOS 5 either.

Just another classic case that apple removes features from a phone so u buy the newer one.

Remember how the 3G iPhone didn't support wallpapers?!

Wallpapers people!

Lol the 2g didn't have mms but the 3G did

I just don't think it's feasible to do 3 and 4 finger gestures on a screen the size of an iPhone's. Most people would find it difficult and inconsistent.
