Apple iOS5: the novelty is IMessage

Apple iOS5: the novelty is IMessage

A few days after the keynote was presented to the iPhone 4s (which will arrive in Italy on October 28) and the almost simultaneous disappearance of Steve Jobs, the legendary founder of Cupertino, Apple releases iOS5, a substantial upgrade of the operating system IOS.
Nearly 200 news presented in this release from Notification Center, which brings together all messaging activities in which a typical user would normally be involved (e-mail - and very enhanced - sms, friend requests, and more) .

Notifications non-invasive

In a not too invasive, notifications appear briefly in the top of the screen, without interrupting the user is currently engaged.


Also interesting IMessage

Also interesting is the IMessage service, which allows users to communicate with each iOS5, sending text messages, photos, videos, contacts and GPS location: supplied numerous features, such as delivery receipts and read those. A step forward in security, since the messages are encrypted. Nevertheless, it has worked even harder to integrate with Twitter.

The new Kiosk

Interesting new one called Newsstand: it is a folder where are stored all publications to which the user has subscribed, such as digital magazines, weekly or daily. This folder is directly connected with the AppStore: every time I come new issues of the magazines, the newspaper publication updates automatically.

A Reminder with nice graphics 

Beautiful, even in the graphic, Memo, which lets you create lists of things to do, adding dates and places. The digital version of the classic "To do", however, does even more: for example, if you get close to a supermarket can remind you that you have to buy milk. To signal that an event is synchronized with icloud on all devices in your possession. Even small changes to the camera: Meanwhile, you can start it from the initial screen using a special button with the icon of the room. Even here, great integration with icloud because the photos are downloaded automatically on other Apple devices in your possession and Images, which allows you to do editing operations.

Safari also enhanced

Also enhanced the Safari browser and compatibility with other devices, although it is targeted to increase the independence of individual devices from Macs and PCs. Do not miss the new Air Play GameCenter and mirroring, which allows you to wirelessly transmit the contents of our iPhone 4s (or iPad) on an HDTV.

Big space to functions for the disabled 

Great attention was given this time to address accessibility: iOS5 has new features that enable people with different types of disabilities to take full advantage of Apple devices, supporting specific hardware and adding vibration or lights that let you know when the phone is ringing.
