Kind of makes Microsoft look foolish in comparison to Upgrade cost.

In all fairness Microsoft has to make money of their software? Can't really compare.

Hmm... neat additions to Siri so far. Now if they can work on server-side processing speeds.

So far:

- exclusive Siri button coming to new vehicles over the next year

- launch apps from Siri

- better searching of sports stuff, movies, restaurants with a Yelp partnership

- new languages

- Siri coming to the new iPad

THANK GOD. Finally Siri can realise the majority of her potential in the UK.

Nice, Tap to Tweet and post Facebook status update (plus Facebook integration). No more having to use Activator for that.

I wonder if Apple stores (physical stores) will have the new macbook pro already? I would love to grab one on my way home

[Denis W. Veteran]

Is that Facebook events showing up in the calendar? Awesome. :D

Plus contact integration! That's another app I can get rid of for Facebook syncing.

[Brendando]

This is shaping up to be great. No time filling stuff yet. All stuff I'll use.

[Brendando]

O and has anyone else noticed the UI tweaks? The silver blue bars and matte feel? I like it.

unlikely, probably won't show up in stores for another couple weeks

DND - nice. Was one good thing that Blackberries had.

[Brendando]

Do not disturb will be so good. Facetime over 3G? About time.

Receiving your phone bill at the end of the month should be fun then?

I'm on an unlimited contract for everything with 3 for ?25. One of the reasons I've been so frustrated with no Facetime over 3G.

YES! The kind of deep Facebook integration I was hoping for! Excellent. There are still a few Facebook features I'd like to see (e.g. open graph actions, automatically telling our friends and subscribers what we're listening to and watching), but this integration is enough for me compared to the current Windows Phone Facebook integration (of course, I'm curious to see whether Microsoft have added any deeper integration to Windows Phone 8).

[Macsen]

Now what about this "Mail VIP" thing?

[Brendando]

Also looked like they'd done some cleaning up in Settings. Brightness and Wallpaper combined.

to be exact he said shipping now lol

[Denis W. Veteran]

Hmm... I guess some people will find Passbook useful. At the very least, latte-sipping hippies with Macbooks at their local Starbucks. ;)

By-bye, Google Maps.

[NeoXY]

Here we go. Turn-by-turn. Its coming.

[Denis W. Veteran]

And now Maps. Wonder if there's a Street View equivalent if they're really ditching Google.
