I don't really understand what the deal is with brand fanatics or whatever you want to call them. I won't lie but I really like Apple products. At work I use a PC with Windows 7 on it and its freaking awesome, and at home I use a Mac which is also freaking awesome. I will say that there are some things I find that bother me about some of Apples products, the IOS, and the Mac OS, but overall none of those put me off of the Apple brand. I would say the exact same thing for Microsoft and many other brands.
So as to appeal to multiple audiences I will bash on a lot of stuff and praise other stuff. I have had a little experience using an Android phone, and honestly it sucks in my opinion. It's really hard for me not to favor the iPhone. Also, a guy I work with has had both the iPhone and Android phones and prefers the iPhone. This is really the only opinion I have gotten from someone who has owned both. I prefer the simplicity and ease of use on the iPhone over the Android. I will say that those widgets are pretty cool on the Android phone, but if the rumors are correct some form of widgets could be coming to the IPhone, via IOS 5. I found some pretty cool looking screenshots of 'leaked' photos of the IOS 5.
Can't say for sure if these are real, but who cares they look sweet. I like this one because its pretty much what I have seen with lockinfo but this looks a little more fluid. Almost like it is part of the phone. I would have like to have seen a weather widget on the lock screen. Don't really want to have to unlock the phone in order to check the forcast, since where I live it could be 95 degrees one moment and raining cats and dogs 10 minutes later. Needless to say looking good so far.
Okay, so I'm digging the new looking clock widget and the weather widget. I read somewhere where there will possibly be a new icon (shown in the above photo, bottom right 'applications') that opens to all your folders and applications.
This one is interesting as it is similar to spaces or expose on the Mac OS. I would have liked to see this function be used for multitasking instead of previewing all the pages of the iPhone home screen. Guess I will have to continue to jailbreak my phone in order to use Multifl0w (That is if I did Jailbreak my phone).
I really like this new feature. Bravo Apple for taking a note out of the jailbreaking community's book. This is SBSettings at its finest. There were some other features that I didn't really find interesting. If you want you can click here to find out the stuff I didn't go over. Thanks goes to Weiphone.com for the images.
Anyway I'll be interested to see how the next IOS really turns out. I'm sure I will have an update with my opinion on it when it does come out. This isn't all I have to say concerning phones but seeing as this is pretty recent news I figured I'd go ahead and talk about it. Till next time!
The above pictures are not actual pictures from IOS 5. I will write a revised post as to what was actually released in IOS 5 on Monday.
