New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

stop hassling me --> every time you lose signal for 0.5 sec
stop dropping to 2100 mhz without my permission --> fucking ever

YES

Do offline download of Guardian app --> at 8am

newsstand should handle this.

location based reminders sound a bit less useful than i thought, on the other hand:

jfalconer In theory, Reminders that trigger on location is one of the cool things in iOS5. But it's clunky -- addresses have to be in Contacts.

grr.. would be nice to just choose a spot on the map with my finger and say like "within .5 miles of"

straw poll, who will buy match? need more info?

i dont think i will.... maybe if i had more than 5GB to store the stuff i have on my computer that wont be in itunes

I'm considering it. I'll have to see when it launches but its not big money so I probably will.

you can do some of this location based trigger stuff on your laptop already if you're a weenie like me, e.g. i have:

- screen locks when my phone is not in bluetooth range (i.e. i am away from desk)
- time machine target disk changes based on what disk is connected

I guess most of the stuff I use spotIfy for is stuff I also have in my collection back home and £25 a year is way better than £10 a month so yeah, I expect I'll switch.

I don't think I can be bothered tbh

I mean it's all on my 120 gb ipod and that's doing all right without clouds so

I have 423 gigs of music and an 8 gig iphone and a separate macbook pro for work at the office. I can see using it for those sudden urges to hear something that I don't have with me at work or on my phone. With the 25,000 song limit, I'd like it to work with a playlist or something, so I could choose what goes in the cloud. Otherwise how will it handle that? Will it just stop once I hit my limit? I should probably prune my iTunes library. Next time I have 10 free hours....

make a playlist that syncs to the cloud - I wonder if you can

apis is what i'm talking about

B-)

With iOS 5, you no longer need a computer to own an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.

- The LED flash on the iPhone 4 can be set to visually show you when you have a message or call

iberry

I've wanted that feature since I had to ditch my first cell phone. I rarely have my ringer on. I used to like being able to walk in the room and look across the room and visually see that I have messages. Can they control the brightness? That flash is pretty strong.

yeah i felt like notifications were the weakest part of the igame up til just now when apple stole the best aspects of both andriod and blackberrys approaches, swag

I want to hear about iCloud to google contact syncing.

Oh fuck me, this was my idea for an iPhone app
Lots of people feeling like that here. They killed a lot of little apps too, like Instapaper (sorta), Fantastical, all the messaging apps, Camera+ etc etc.

on the fence about instapaper. Marco (creator) seems to think/hope that his social sharing aspects of instapaper will be one thing that saves it, and that reading list will introduce more and more people to the concept, some of whom will want to upgrade to more robust features. I only use the most basic instapaper features, so maybe reading list will be fine for me. I assume if I'm on a PC using Firefox or whatever, I can log onto iCloud and access my reading list, like I can access instapaper from anywhere? I also assume other apps will pick up the link, like currently I'll be using reeder on my iPhone and hit an article I want to "read later" and depending on how I want to remember it, I'll either star it, or I'll send it to instapaper. I assume I'll be able to send it to reading list as well.

Yeah, Marco is high. Think this will do to instapaper what iTunes did to Audion. But only if apps can also add to the list (I think they can) and if the last works offline (not sure about this).

being a lil indie developer bro is tough, almost like you dont want yr app to get too popular

Set to Silent --> at midnight

Yeah, dumbfounded that a night mode still doesn't exist. there are these things http://www.thesilentnight.com/ but you might as well stick the phone in a drawer instead

yeah better to suck because then yahoo will buy you xp

They are doing unconscionable things to file > quit in lion btw.

hahaha what are they doing?

The thing I find annoying about the concept of "never start from scratch again!" is... what if you WANT to start from scratch?

If you leave an app and the system wants to, it will quit it. But the dot will stay in the doc and the icon will stay in the cmd-tab switcher. When you click on it then it will relaunch silently.

BUT if you actually choose file -> quit, the app will look like it has quit -- the dot disappears, it disappears from the switcher etc. Except ... It’s still running and doesn't quit. It might do later, if the system wants to.

Dan: yeh the persistence is scary -- they're going to persist apps across reboots and even restarts. Turning it on and off again is going to leave just as fucked as you were when you started.

this is totally one of those "I thought I wanted this before you gave it to me" features

my head hurts

this might be some cart leading the horse miscalculation on apple's part, but
properly built applications should never need to be quit and restarted.
maybe this will force companies to make better applications?
I'm hoping it at least forces apple to do it with its own software.

yeah kind of comes down to 'how well it works'

I think introducing a persistence feature that hangs on the assumption that applications never become corrupted is... well the nice way to put it is "optimistic"

i'm sure they will be a way to reset things

like hold option when launching or whatever, like safe mode

seeing as I just discovered TODAY how to quit apps on my iPhone, I am pretty certain it will be a PITA to do so

yes a good portion of that is user error, but then again maybe your device should have a real manual

You can force a quit an app using activity monitor like before, but there's no way to make it ignore its resume data (unless the app itself offers one). Clearing that will mean filesystem pokery.

drag

"we are apple, you will do it our way"

"we are apple"

yeah i tried to run an app that controlled time and and one that ran dos 3.0 and steve jobs personally vetoed them both.

none of this new stuff thrills me

In contrast, this does:

(Already announced but this is some early confirmation from developers. That being the case I'm likely going to hold off on the presumed September iPhone upgrade in favor of what sounds like will be a full LTE version next year.)

I find it amusing that apple is so anti pr0n

They don't like pr0n apps, but porn works quite fine on all Apple devices, trust me.

Meanwhile, corporate campuses...of the future!!!
