Well it’s nearly WWDC time, and I’m really looking forward to seeing iOS 5 for the first time, and finally what Apple’s new long time rumoured cloud service will be.
I’m sure that I’m like many people, with the desktop Mac OS isn’t as interesting as it once was, but it will be interesting if anything has been held back from the developer previews. Any iCloud, iTunes server, iOS deep integration is especially interesting. I’m hoping that Dropzone works between iOS devices and the desktop. I’m also hoping their has been work don’t to enhance the Apple TV because I still think this is an overlooked but great product with lots of potential. Third party app support would really help things, and imagine if Apple paired this with an official game controller at the same time as E3. Perhaps a new model of Apple TV with iPad 2 specs. Could be a game changer.
Anyway, my iOS 5/iCloud wish list in no particular order
Improved notification system
Automatic background downloading service for news? Battery life and data?
iPhone custom text sounds!
Apple tv app store and third party development
Better use of iPad screen so not just load of icons
Spotlight search can search within apps
Better browsing of own media collection on network or cloud without need to sync
Less reliance on a traditional computer Inc no plug to iTunes first time
Less reliance on cable sync, sync over the air
Sync game save position and achievements between devices
Sync framework for use by third party apps so many sync services not needed
Dropzone iOS for way to get content between devices Inc desktop
Lock screen content. Appointments, notifications etc.
