While Apple is admittedly adding new features, and tweaking old ones as it goes about its business of bumping the old iOS revision numbers, there are still one or two things that are AWOL.
One of the most exciting and interesting aspects of iOS 5 is no doubt the addition of a new way of handling notifications, called Notification Center.
When Apple unveiled the new iPhone 4S, one of the new features they took the time to flaunt was the newly improved camera.
When Apple announced the iPhone 4S a couple of weeks ago, they announced that a select few countries were set to get the new handset as early as the following week. While some were lucky enough to only have a week or so to wait in order to get their hands on the next iPhone, some were left to wait just a little bit longer.
If there were any doubts as to whether the iPhone 4S was going to match the incredible success of the iPhone 4, the various milestones reached by Apple since last Friday's launch have certainly answered the skeptics with aplomb.
Apple has, in years gone by, held various 'Tech Talk World Tours' aimed at giving its developers a more in-depth view on new technologies. iOS 5, the company's latest mobile operating system, will be the next taken on an education spree from Berlin to Beijing, Seoul to Seattle.
While just about every new feature in iOS 5 is a welcome one, there are a handful which, well, aren’t all that welcome. Take the example of the updated Camera.app: in iOS 5 it only allows the pinch-to-zoom gesture for zooming in and out. This certainly works, but it is just isn’t as comfortable to pull off as double-tapping the screen and then moving a slider up/down.
The good folks over at Remember the Milk have managed to integrate Siri with their app. It uses CalDAV, an Internet standard for allowing a client to access scheduling information on a remote server. Follow the instructions below to get up to speed with Remember the Milk and Siri.
Despite Facebook's official mobile app having been installed on many a smartphone during the last couple of years, the social network still felt compelled to release a separate app to cater for the instant-messaging side of things back in August, appropriately entitled Facebook Messenger.
You may remember the post we made about Steve Jobs’ last project not being the iPhone 4S but instead being, possibly, the next iPhone 5. Well it has been confirmed that Steve worked on that project all the way until the day before he died.
