Apple WWDC Lion - iOS5 - iCloud.

Really looking forward for iOS5!

Apple seem to be making a real habit of complicating things as of recent. iCloud is coming across as very confusing, the photo storage in particular.

There's also now Game Center, FaceTime, iMessaging, Ping and MobileMe five different services all running of Apple IDs but you have to adds friends one by one to each individual service :/ - Why can't they just combine them?

Plus that Magazine/News app is basically the same as iBooks?

MobileMe "is no more".

iMessaging looks very promising - with the huge amount of people already use iProducts it will obviously be popular - and many will buy an iProduct to talk to people without SMS costs - if it is worth it, I may consider getting an iPod Touch (or an iTouch as many imbeciles call it )

*Note I am going to ignore the jibes from Tom for saying this because he doesn't understand that I also praise Microsoft and the Windows 8 UI

It looks iMazing

So, copying others. how original.

With all due respect, I don't give a damn about your apparant hate over Apple. I am certainly not their biggest fan, but if there is something that is clearly hugely successful on blackberries (the worth smartphones I have ever come across, yet millions are sold - thanks to BBM) - why the hell would Apple not follow suit?

If you can find a company that doesn't 'copy' others one little bit, and doesn't get ideas of others I will buy you donor :rolleyes:

all seems pretty promising. does anyone know if or when there'll be any announcements for the next iphone (if one is being released this year)?

Microsoft copies just as much as Apple does, also BBM is the most pathetic thing I've ever seen and if anyone says they bought a Blackberry for BBM I will be concerned. Check out KiK Messenger.

September, I believe.

I think they are going to release it towards Christmas - due to the huge Christmas sales the iPad got.

That is what Engadget said when WWDC was announced - as it was originally expected to be announced at WWDC.

I don't hate Apple as such, I like the iCloud service a lot to be honest, but 99% of the new features appear to have been ripped from various other Mobile operating systems. I also can't see iMessaging taking off with the likes of cross platform alternatives like LiveProfile and PingChat.
