iOS 5 Demo: Notification Center, iMessage and Reminders

2011-10-12
hey guys suit staying here with the dental of iOS 5 now iOS 5 is of course the latest version of the iphone ipod touch and ipad operating system so let's go over some of the things that are new now probably the first and most important thing is the new notification so of course if you guys remember before used to be the little blue pop ups and you know they want awful but they really want great but now if you swipe down from the status bar you will see that there is a new kind of drop down menu very very similar to android so the way it works is you have a couple of widgets so for example here stocks in here is your weather and on top of that any notifications that comment will be listed here so for example have a reminder that i need to make this video just kind of a test and if I want to I can tap on that and it will bring us over to the application it's pretty decent it's not fantastic um you know it would be nice especially you could add custom widgets not that kind of stuff but overall especially we have lots of notifications it's easy just to swipe and it works really quite nicely the next app is going to be I messages now I messages is kind of like a BBM for iphone what allows you to do is send and receive free text messages and they're not actual text messages there's transmitted over Wi-Fi or data and they are available as well as on the ipod touch ipad as well as of course the iphone now the way it works is very simple so as you guys can see here you can add contacts so if you have the person's phone number who you know is on iOS 5 and has an iphone you can send it to them or if you have someone with an ipod touch and ipad you can use their Apple email address so i was pretty nicely you can add to contacts and all that kind of stuff in the way that works is very similar to FaceTime so the way it works you guys can see here you can scroll through your messages but want to send a message I can certainly just type out whatever I like I can also click click on the little button here I can send a picture so if I wanted to send tie a picture whatever I certainly could do that another nice new feature is the additions to the camera so from the last one we can double tap and click the little camera icon as you guys will see here we do have the camera open and working so it works pretty simply to go ahead and rotate it here so you can take a picture just as before however there's a new options so if I open this up here if you have an iPhone 4 and HDR mode will be appear here where you can you toggle it on and off you also have a grid mode where you can kind of help Center your shots that have a little grid on the screen I know on top of that if I flip my ipod touch over here you can now take a picture with the volume buttons so if I click on their yeah we can take a picture I like that I think it'll work a lot better on the iphone than the ipod since it's a little awkward to hold it like that but no big deal and it definitely is very nice to have an actual physical button now you guys may or may not have noticed but i'll show off the camera app and open it back up it's a lot faster which is good the camera app used to be awful it's still not blazing fast and sure be faster on the 4s but it is a nice improvement there are a couple things we can do with the picture so as you guys can see here there are a few options such as emailing it sending it as a message using as a wallpaper and tweeting it and i get into the Twitter integration in a second there's also a new editing functions so for example we can want to rotate the picture which shouldn't really be necessary but if you want to you can do that there's also an automatic resampling mode auto enhance where you want to call it which will just kind of mess with the contrast and the saturation all that kind of stuff if you like I'm going to turn that off also you can do red eyes so we want to pick some red eyes of course I don't have me in this picture but you can do that all from the device and last what we do have props so we want we can crop into one angle and do that so the camera app is definitely received a pretty nice overhaul on pretty please with the a des were really quite nicely the next appt is reminders reminders is pretty similar to several other iOS apps however of course this one does come pre built and it works pretty really quite nicely so we want to create a new reminder here we can say oh I don't know upload video it's kind of hard to type the upload video hit return and they're real which so we're done and if we want we can open up here we can have it remind us to send us a push notification oh I don't know in 10 minutes so we can do whatever we want and also show more new priority some notes and of course to leave another a nice addition is the Twitter integration so if you come to the settings and you open up the Twitter part you can now install the official twitter app straight from here as well as add your contact the way it works is you guys can see sure you actually add your contact now your i rather your twitter information your login you add to iOS 5 and then from there you can enable for example Safari and Twitter and all that kind of subtext use your account so if we open up safari here and if you gets a little demo so click the button here we cannot tweet it so let's say we're reading an article you're seeing something you want tweets to go hey check this out and I can't type very well up here but yeah so it works really quite nicely and the Twitter integration is in many many places around the operating system including Safari the Photos app and several other places there are also some updates to help you just use the operating system better so for example take this little thing if you have a name for your device which I'm sure you do you can now change it from on the device which is nice so in you you name it like I do based on what firm works on and it changed this firm where you can sit and really easily do that top of that there is now wireless updates so looks like for example iOS 5.0 point one comes out tomorrow I could just open up the software update you would automatically download it and I would be good to go instead of having to plug into itunes and updating all that kind of stuff lastly but certainly not least there is the iTunes Wi-Fi sync now of course if you guys have been jailbroken you know that there is a similar tweets been around for quite a while however now you don't even have to jailbreak you can just simply long to your devices plugged in and your it's on the same Wi-Fi network as your computer that you want to sync it with you can out do it wirelessly lastly there is the new newsstand so did you guys can see here it almost works look like folders but instead you'll be able to download magazines and newspapers and that kind of thing from the app store it's not currently enabled hold by the time you guys watch this video you'll be able to you know do magazine subscriptions and all that kind of stuff anyway guys it's going to be about it for my demo of iOS 5 overall to look pretty solid update and of course it is free for everyone on ipod touch 3rd generation ipod touch 4th generation is compatible with the iphone 3gs the iphone for the ipad 1 as well as the ipad 2 and obviously will be coming will be shipping with you what new white ipod touches as well as the iphone 4s denies if you enjoyed this video definitely be sure to leave it a thumbs up and if you're interested in more content like this be sure to
