When the iphone came out, it revoltuised the way we think of smartphones and phones in general. When apple announced the original iphone (iphone 2G) they were ephasising that it was a phone... A music player... And a network communitcator and they repeated this over and over until steve jobs said 'these aren't different devices' a huge massive applause broke out, steve eventually finished with 'these are all in one device and we call iphone'.
The iphone did surely wow the crowd. Now that we've got the likes of android and other operating systems, IOS feels very stale in the main user experience. (springboard) you've got new intergrations with every big leap.
IOS 2.0 the intergration of the app store.
I'm not actually sure what the new things are in IOS 3.0, when I started with the iphone 3G is was already on 3.0.
IOS 4.0 you've got many new editions to the OS, the biggest one was multi-tasking and of course home screen wallpaper. Folders in IOS 4 cutting from the abilty to have 188 apps on the iphone, with folders you can have 12x16x10 on the iphone.
IOS 5 has a new useful experience for un-intruvise notifications, instead notifications popping up when you're trying to play a game or send an email. The notification now goes to the top of the screen alerting you but not taking any attention on what you're doing.
With all these new editions to the IOS family, they still can't compete with the customization of android.
I really love the live tiles in windows phone 7. The motto for windows 7.5 mango is get in,get out and get back to life. Everything is presented in such a lovely way. Every app on the black backround is displayed in a nice contrast, the status bar as well is hidden until you eventually swipe down from the top to reveal it.
When we're talking about specifications of device, not many people know this. The iphone 2G and the iphone 3G has the exact same specs, the only difference is the ability to surf the internet with 3G.
Next blog will be about what specific features that would really help IOS along with it's new features
