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 confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      Web search has been one of those crap ware that I try to get rid of asap. It's annoying and slow. It was a cheap way for Microsoft to drive traffic to Bing.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By WaltC · Posted

      All I can say is that think the USB G8 is better in many ways, and costs the same or slightly less. I wouldn't part with mine. It's even a big improvement over the G6 USB. (You can also use studio phones (up to 600 OHMs I think) with the G8, but I have to say that even relatively cheap 30-50 OHM phones sound absolutely great--far better than through most internal motherboard sound!) Considering the difference in these products I am surprised that Creative is still making the PCIe internal card versions. https://www.headphoneer.com/cr...ve-sound-blaster-g8-review/
    • I have really been nerding out on my desktop icons and feel compelled to share...

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I missed this when you first posted it, but those are awesome icons! I would normally prefer things to be uniform, but each of those icons seems to fit perfectly for the game! If I may ask though, what was your thought process on which icons are circular - MK makes sense - and which ones should be rectangular or square?
    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good

      By WaltC · Posted

      What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)

      I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output! Memories...
