I know the iOS 5 hasnt been announced yet but since one of the manger draw backs iOS has over android is the notifications system do you think that apple might update the notification system in iOS 5? Since some features such as hotspot feature etc. are added in the iOS latest beta. Will it be added? There isnt any rumor or anything I was just thinking. Since one of the main reason for me to jailbreak is to get the notifications displayed on the top bar. Its pretty easy. It would be great if apple could enable this by default.

My wish list contains better notification system and something apple might add fresh. What is your wish list for iOS 5?

Didnt apple hire the notifcation guy from WebOS team (or something like that?) so it may be possible of an all new system.

It seems like with each major release Apple addresses the one biggest thing that everyone really wants. With 2.0 they added the native SDK, with 3.0 they added copy and paste, with 4.0 they added multitasking. This year the biggest thing that people seem to want out of the OS is a better notification system and it's long overdue. This will probably be the big feature in iOS 5.

I agree, notifications in iOS really bug me. It's just so intrusive.

WP7 and Android both have great approaches.

I know if you miss it thats it you dont get another chance to seeing the notification. Specially android the ability to pull down the top bar to view the notifications is genius.!

I could remember seeing such thing a while ago but who knows apple. Since they are so secretive!!

That is usually the schedule for them. I think since most of the people arent happy with the notifications system this could be next in the line. Well lets hope so! But I highly doubt if a newly designed iphone will come out. It will be another 4GS or something just like 3GS.

Annoyingly the battery life needs fixing. iOS 4.x sucks out the life of batteries much quicker than iOS 3.x

Not on my iPhone 4...

I don't need much fixed... Maybe the lockscreen could provide some more information but please, no widgets... They would make a mess. Flash support? I hope not... New notification system? HELL yeah. But other than that? I am pretty statisfied. :)

On the iPad, widgets are an absolute must. The home screens look foolish atm, and the lock screen is being totally wasted.

Otherwise, notifications are definitely in need of a change, on both iPhone and iPad. On the phone, I wouldn't really like to see widgets, but some other way to view data would be nice (like live tiles on Windows Phone 7, but something more Apple-y). Widgets on a phone, I find, take up too much space to be useful.

The only wish I would like to see its the ability to download documents and videos and able to watch it offline. I know that there are already apps that can do this, but it will be useful if this is a feature of iOS by default.

You can do that with PDF files currently if you have an app installed that registers itself as a pdf reader. If they added the same thing to Safari for all files types that would be nice.

    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more

      By Talys · Posted

      I am not a fan of haptic feedback touchpads. I've owned a Surface Laptop 7 (Snapdragon) with one and a Lenovo Slim (Intel), and I hated both to the point where I purchased different laptops. It's not that they don't work most of the time; it's that they don't work 100% of the time, and there is no advantage from a user's perspective over a good mechanical trackpad like what's on a ThinkPad X1 or a Yoga 9i. I do not believe that I'll buy another haptic feedback touchpad laptop again in the near future.

      Works fine here too. About this build, I don't like to download any kind of Windows, from any site except Microsoft. The mod might work, but I don't know what it's inside. Can contain malware, backdoors... Long time ago I've used something like this but reversed - it was 98se with the look and some functionality  of XP. Or, later XP with Vista look. But I made it myself. Not downloaded from obscure sites.

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Rockstar is preparing to launch Grand Theft Auto VI later this year, but ahead of that, the company has revealed a new offer for some Grand Theft Auto V owners. It today announced that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version owners of the 2013-released title will soon be receiving a free upgrade to the current generation version. The studio released the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto V back in 2022, bringing significant upgrades to the original console editions. This included 60 FPS gameplay at up to 4K resolution, as well as major upgrades to textures, draw distance, and audio. Faster load times, ray tracing elements, and HDR support were also added with it. While this new and enhanced version needed a new purchase of the game to jump in, now Rockstar has decided to make it a free upgrade, dropping the $40 price tag entirely on consoles. "Beginning tomorrow, those who own any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V will be able to upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions at no additional cost, and experience the best versions of GTA V and GTA Online," said the company in an official blog post. The free upgrade offer will be released tomorrow, June 18, for all Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners of Grand Theft Auto V. Players who will be jumping in on the offer will want to check how to migrate their GTA Online profile from last-generation to current-generation consoles by heading over here. The offer lands ahead of The Kortz Center Heist hitting Grand Theft Auto Online, where players and crews will be tasked with stealing priceless international art from a prestigious gallery in Pacific Bluffs. It doesn't look like Rockstar plans to stop updating its previous game even with Grand Theft Auto VI being on the horizon. The latest title is slated to launch on November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
