No new hardware whatsoever.
Motherfucking faggot Jobs.
[QUOTE=ifaux;30285720]It wasn't that bad of a keynote. Keep in mind it's a [i]developer[/i] conference.
Why didn't you like it?[/QUOTE]
keep in mind almost all of the features they promoted are end user features. they don't actually talk about many new developer features during that keynote, rather they do it in the days after during the actual conference.
i'm annoyed as they promoted way to much crappy shit and promoted ios as a larger step up than ios3 to 4, but it wasn't.

Most of the features were end user features that were shown off early so developers could update/create apps that take advantage of said new features.
Thanks for everyone that contributed to the thread :buddy:

only to a select few so they can demonstrate them. 99.95% of developers don't get the updated sdk until today.
honestly, in terms of end user features in the ios. it's pretty pathetic. the only exciting one is the notification bar, but they'll probably just get sued by google for excessive arrogance (and patent infringement)
I predicted Lion would be $29 too, although I also thought it would be out within a week or so of the conference. Overall though I am impressed. Some much needed catch up features to Android, but implemented in a shiny Apple way :v:
It says on the website [url=http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html]here[/url] that the accessibility features have changed. Is there any news on what changes have actually being made?
Overall not too exciting. We all have to remember it is a developers conference though. Would of liked to see some new mac hardware and I'm really not surprised about no new iphone.
Liking the look of Lion. I considered an iPhone for what iOS 5 could have been but I'm not overly impressed, so will go with Android instead.
Why did nobody in this thread mention OS X Lion at all, it's like it doesn't exist to you guys.
That's what I'm most excited about, iOS 5 is just them playing catchup to Android.
iCloud is nice but I don't use an iOS device.
For me it's either wait for the next iPhone, or go with the HTC Thunderbolt.
Did you know Apple's already rolled out the iOS purchase logs? It's true! Go to the app store under upgrades or iTunes under purchases, and it gives you a list of everything you've ever bought for that iTunes account (sans movies and TV). You can then re-download as necessary.

Apple's market is now pretty much it's iOS devices, so I guess that why.
Did they menntion multitasking? The iPhone 5 should be more than capable of that.
what about multi tasking? what did they need to talk about?
[editline]7th June 2011[/editline]
obviously the iphone 5 is capable of doing it.. seeing as how it comes after the iphone 4 which could do it lol

I mean multitasking like you see it in Symbian, and Honeycomb. Ice Cream Sandwich will probably bring it to Android phones, too.
Can you explain the differences please?

No, that was a torture test (as it says in the fucking video), and he runs angry birds and such later on.. Why do you try to defend something missing in iOS by tying to make multitasking seem ridiculous?
I'm not saying multitasking is ridiculous, but everything you'd actually want to multitask with you can in iOS with the backgrounding services it provides. It won't be ideal for every app, but for 99% of cases it works (the one notable exception is the downloading of data at arbitrary points during the day), and it means you don't get the slow down shown in that video. For the rest of the apps that have no need for full multitasking(like the calculator I mentioned) iOS simply keeps them in memory, or saves the memory state and reloads it later. Apple and Google basically prefer battery life to outright OS flexibility, and given how weak smartphone batteries are, I can't blame them.

Nokia phones has splendid battery life compared to Andorid and iOS devices, what are you onto? And take into account that this is done on a ~600MHz CPU, so the iPhone 5 or any of the many Android devices floating around should fare much better.
I wonder if iTunes Match will require you to have the music files in your computer or just have them in your library.
I find the iOS multitasking to be exactly what I want. I don't care about "true multitasking" now.

The relationship between clock speed and battery lifetime is *not* linear.
[editline]7th June 2011[/editline]
Hopefully Apple's just as sandboxed in as the rest of the dev world so Lion gets distributed like Server.app. I'm not a fan of the magic otherwise.
Was hoping for a new iPhone so I could upgrade to iPhone 4 relatively cheap...

First of all I found myself laughing after reading this; secondly, I have no idea what the fuck you are trying to say. I have a android 2.2 phone, I had a (Shitty) Moto Xoom, and I've spent a lot of time with RIM's playbook, not to mention I have an iPad 2. looking at all of these devices I can't see a difference in their multitasking abilities with the exception of the playbook and it's ability to have many many apps open and run them in real time. The only difference between the Android 3.0 and iOS is that you can see snapshots of the app in Android, I can't see how one platform is actually more capable than the other when it comes to multitasking, especially when you factor in the multitasking gestures on the iPad. (look it up)

I haven't seen those multitasking gestures on the iPad, would you be so kind to link me to them? No need to be a douchebag.
Currently, this feature can be enabled if you have access to the mac app store, and can buy xcode for $5.
however this is a planned feature for iOS 5.
