| ios 5 Features |
Apple has opened the tap: 5 version of IOS for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and is available to all customers.
"We brought IOS to a whole new level," begins the site of the house, think about doing something radically renewed. The message is clear, even the "5" is no accident: it could be considered a sort of subliminal message , intended to fill that littlevoid left with the warm reception of the new iPhone, which many expected to be an "iPhone 5 "and that developed, however, as an iPhone 4 gym .
Just below, in fact, we learn that the company has added over 200 new features in this new release. The most important are mentioned in the page and in addition to inviting the audience to watch a video , the house those lists of greatest interest.
It starts from a Notification Center, which aims to centralize all alarms (RSS, calendar, etc..), Evidence that Apple typically does not have to stop his activities: you can see an iPhone with a game in which the notice is only a small panel on top of the video that does not overlap.
Then there IMessage, the messaging application specifically created what appears to be the "answer Apple's" much less the modern BlackBerry Messenger, though this is directed to other uses.
Following the Kiosk, a centralized place where Apple hopes to focus the sale of online content such as books and magazines, that with a simple touch can also subscribe to their favorite newspapers.
Reminders were also re-designed and built especially - wanted - with the location geographical. The company states that work perfectly with iCal, Outlook, and of course with icloud.
Then there is the full integration of Twitter: you can just log in and chirping from the camera, Safari, while watching a video on YouTube or you look at a map.
The camera also has some news derived from the software: it opens the lock button, the grid and has pinch zoom (now everyone knows it, but for those who do not know, is the act of "pinch" the screen widening or tightening the fingers to zoom in or out).
In this regard, now the screen of iPad "accept" up to five different fingers operating: multitouch more than that, on a tablet, it is difficult to expect. In any case, with a single touch do I fix the focus and click on all devices . The photos, needless to say, may (but need not) end up on icloud.
About the latter, the editing is, it supports - in order - and also of icloud through him may be made on any other iDevice or iGingillo if you prefer.
icloud is also used to Safari, which in the new version allows you to save pages, bookmarks and other data of interest. The performance increase is due to their use icloud, which of course will raise doubts in the most strenuous advocates of privacy, a bit 'as happens with the Amazon Kindle Fire, whose browser Silk does the same thing with Amazon EC2.
icloud comes heavily into play for the sync point: in an ecosystem like the one imagined by Apple - in fact, Steve Jobs, to be exact - the new versions of IOS like this loose ties between the device and the PC in question: because it provides the architecture that ideally all your Apple devices are authenticated on icloud (if it will or will not, then, is to prove, but the possibility is there), the synchronization would follow the path PC-> icloud-> iPhone vice versa, for example. So, no need to synchronize directly. And, consequently, the synchronization is done safely even via WiFi.
Email and Calendar, needless to say, they use icloud for centralizing. Complete a new landscape of Game Center, along the lines of the aedicule, centralized purchasing, installing and playing games. Finally, you can send via AirPlay streaming their movies to your HD TV (via Apple TV, then locally might have less feedback, but there).
In short, Apple seems to have tried to put in this release all I could, with the popular voice , someone might say "it's bad conscience , "for having somehow betrayed the public with a new iPhone that many expect to be in some way a "5".
Therefore have to settle for the "5" ... only in version number. The update is already online, just connect your device to your Mac or PC and follow the instructions: for now, still works as before but once updated the link will melt almost unbreakable.
