The Apple Thread

Photos in photo stream don't count. I'm talking about photos I've taken in the past and want to backup

Sorry, I thought Camera Roll was excluded as well.

I'm glad they decided to support the 3GS with iOS 5. I had read before WWDC that they were considering leaving out the 3GS. Hopefully it doesn't affect the performance too much.

 

[Chewie]

Yea I'm not looking forward to how slow iOS5 is on the 3GS. But it must be alright otherwise Apple wouldn't support it.

Not just in camera roll, I meant photos taken with other cameras

 

[Iridium]

I hardly have any photos as it is. Are you the type of Asian who takes a photo of everything he sees?

 

[Chewie]

Nah but when I go somewhere I normally take a camera. My dad likes his cameras too but most of my photos are from when we go overseas or when I travel around NZ with my friends.

Wonder what this means in development terms. I've been learning objective C with XCode and started making my own apps.

 

[Chewie]

I would think that it wouldn't make a difference

 

[barmyarmy]

Everything makes a difference and incorporating new features into your apps is how to stay ahead of the curve. Will probably have to wait for XCode 5 anyway.

 

[Chewie]

Are you on the developer's programme so that you get access to the new version of iTunes and iOS5?

 

[Simbazz]

Quite excited for both iOS 5 and Lion. I think Lion is more exciting for me, I know I could program the gestures in myself with certain programs (or applications as they're probably correctly known as) but why bother when its flawlessly done next month?

I like the notification centre, but ahead of that iOS 5 isn't particularly jaw dropping.

I just realised I have 34562 songs and iTunes Match only works for up to 25000...

I have 1028 songs

iOS 5 jailbroken -- Engadget

Already.

 

[Chewie]

I have 4407 which I sync to my iPod but I would probably have around 10000 that are my artists I like? The others are random stuff.

With regards to jailbreaking, the new iOS version gets rid of a lot of the problems I had that meant I jailbroke in the first place. Will probably still do it though, so I can get a 5x5 layout and some other small tweaks.

iOS 5 imposes minor feature limitations on iPhone 3GS, 3G owners still bitter -- Engadget

Probably because of the hardware limitation, the iPhone 3GS will probably miss out on some features from iOS 5:

The only things we see missing so far are the photo editing features in the camera and the tab bar in Safari.

Nothing major so not a huge loss for me personally. In fact, this should mean that the new firmware won't suck so processing power from the device.

 

[Chewie]

Yea I saw that but thought it was so minor not to be worth posting
