Apple announces iOS 5 and iCloud.

Visit Apple website today and the first thing you will see is this: "iOS 5 includes more than 200 new features for your iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch". 200 features is a lot, but less than the 500 new features included in Mango announced by Microsoft. This post is not about Microsoft and Windows Phone 7 anyway but I cannot help notice that some of the new features of iOS seems to have been copied or borrowed from Mango. 


One of those new addition is the ability to "Capture the moment at a moment's notice". This feature lets you open the camera right from the lock screen and press the volume up button to snap your photo. 


iMessage lets you send unlimited text messages via Wi-Fi and 3G. This is just like Blackberry Messenger with the exception that BBM does not work on Wi-Fi.


Because of time constraint, I invite you to read more on Apple's website. 


iOS 5 is due this fall.
