The only thing that has impressed me is the price of the cloud storage. Or lack thereof.

This can also be done with Android using Titanium Media Sync and you can choose where you would like to upload it, your own FTP server, DropBox, etc.

I was really hoping for a UI revamp but I guess they'll stick to what they think works.

Wonder if Samsung will sue them for this considering this was done with their TouchWiz from day one. Lol. This can also be done using WidgetLocker from the Market and much more customizable too.

No limit on photos and music. But I don't care about this for photos and use Audiogalaxy to stream my entire collection from my laptop to my iPhone for free. Not impressed

Looking forward to the notifications changes.
Twitter interface is nice since I use it.
LOL I'll use the grocery list even though there are probably apps now.
Camera shortcut ABOUTTIME
Hopefully OTA won't have as many glitches as updating via iTunes
Any word if you can sync OTA? Prob better off just connecting though.

I believe with WidgetLocker you could do it. Its been a while since I used that app last but I remember being able to do it. Oh and just in case it wasn't obvious, this is an Android app.

So, no widgets.

But you can see the weather and stocks in the notification area. Along with any emails,fb updates, text, etc etc.

So maybe I should JB to get back sbs settings..

So you wouldn't use the Twitter feed widget to stay on top of all those porn star tweets?

Yea, but I didn't see anything that would really prevent the 3GS from using it.

Wouldn't that stuff show up in the notification are.... Hmmm that would fill up that notification center awfully fast if I follow all the porn stars.

Would be best to go into the app for that...

Yes. SwiftKey is the name of the keyboard and can be found in the Android Market. And here's what they had to say:

Check out Apple's 'revolutionary' new keyboard layout for iPad. Look familiar? #greatminds

With iTunes match I wonder how many times you can scan your library.

Just download a shitty quality copy online and have iTunes match give you a higher quality copy. No need to buy music just the monthly fee.

^I wonder how that works. You could potentially just record a radio stream at the crappiest quality for that matter and change the ID3/Album tags to the appropriate ones and basically get it for "free" with the $25 a year iTunes Match.
