So, er what are the features?
HOLD ON! Google should kick the crap out of Apple, that notifications menu in that video looks 99% identical it even has the same dashed tab thing at the bottom center lol!
Yeah I noticed that a while back, you can bet your left nut that Apple would sue if it was the other way around...Quote:

Can Google sue over something they have made freely available via an open source license? I would have thought not.Quote:

In other news, my ye olde ipod touch (3rd gen) is still being updated.. it's been through iOS 3, 4 and now 5. Not bad for free, though this doesn't seem as big an update as 4 was.
"Software updates available over the air without tethering" and "Wireless sync to iTunes" are the main ones I'm looking forward to. Finally.
And ouch, it's big. 637MB.
Its way to early for me to be at work but that made me chuckle. Sig time anyone?Quote:

Well, the work ipad has been updated and the vpn issue has been fixed so I'm happy. Just got 123 iphones and 29 ipad to update now. Might be a job for next week.
