iOS 5 Preview

Since installing the iOS5 Beta that was released at WWDC...I am in LOVE.  As Apple does, they thought of everything that makes the device unique.  As a common theme in many of the sessions, Apps should be designed to make the user experience Simple, Quick and Reliable.  True to form, these enhancements exceed expectations and only increase my loyalty to the product.  Here are some previews from my phone:

 

Notifications are now easily accessible.  In iOS 5, any notification will now be available to deal with later.  The notifications no longer intrude on what you are working on at that point in time.  You now have the convenience to deal with it when you want and on your own time.  If you are playing a game and get a push notification or text, it will slide down and alert you...but you can continue what you are doing and access it later.  You also have the ability to navigate directly there.

Photo on the home screen.  I absolutely HEART this feature!!!  Have you ever wanted to take a picture and by the time you unlock the phone and get to the camera App, you've missed your opportunity?  That is no longer an issue.  You can now immediately access the camera App on the Lock screen without having to enter in the passcode and touch on the camera.  And, as always, security is bundled in.  If someone gets your phone, they can take a picture, but they will not have the ability to get into any other Apps or view any other pictures.  Security and Convenience...Brilliant.

Look for more reviews and posts in the coming week once I let the week of WWDC absorb :)!
