Even though everyone who is allowed access to iOS 5 technically signed an NDA and shouldn’t be talking about any of this, the tech blogs are all afire as everyone with a dev account starts nosing around iOS 5, and glomming what they can glom.
For a broad overview, I’d suggest nosing through Engadget’s long look at all the major new features. It’s a great introduction to all the new killer features that we’re super excited about — including what settings they have, what works, what doesn’t, and what’s going to be fixed. BGR has a pretty good look, too.
There are a couple of new features that are being heavily discussed, but were barely mentioned yesterday. There’s now an option to have your iPhone’s LED flash when you get a message, you can set custom vibration patterns, custom abbreviations can save you typing time, and you can even create custom gestures. The implementation for the latter is pretty limited, but it’s there.
AppleInsider did a pretty good takedown of the new postPC iPhone setup (and where we got the lead image from).
Strangely, there’s still a promised feature missing. There’s still no AirPrint.
Can you imagine if Apple started enforcing their NDAs on iOS betas?
