Newsstand really is just a wrapper for the magazine apps out there. I thought it would be a new unifying app framework (like iBooks). I also dislike how it looks different from the rest of the phone. It opens like a folder from an icon, but can hold more than twelve items, it has a built in "Store" button in this weird folder view. Why isn't it like iBooks? In fact, in iBooks we have "Books" and "PDFs", why not "Magazines" and then use the same store? The reason is, of course, that it's "just" a wrapper. It's just an alternate way to look at the same magazine apps.

Reminders will probably be better with Siri, but I like the entire geofence ideas. But apart from that, Reminders is a fairly limited todo list app. I use OmniFocus which is a true GTD app which syncs with my iPad and my Mac. How do I get to my Reminders on my Mac?

Twitter is on the bad list because it's only Twitter. Why not an open framework? Why couldn't app developers provide app credential plugins for the iPhone? So I download a Facebook plugin, a Tumblr plugin and whereever I can share something, all these services pop up. Windows Metro seems to do this correctly, and only Twitter is half-baked, even if it is the number one largest sharing service aside of Facebook.

Airplay mirroring is fantastic. Mirror the entire iPad 2 screen to your TV via the ATV and you instantly have a Wii-class console with ten times as many games. I played Real Racing HD 2 which supports TV out - which led to 1080p of gaming goodness on my tv with the iPad as the controller in my hand.

The new notification center is awesome, and has great control over the details and settings for how each app can notify you, which is great. To decide what gets shown on the lock screen is golden! I know that Android has had this for a while, and it has been an area where it has been ahead. Not any more.

I haven't been able to test iMessage out much, but I bet it will replace WhatsApp on my phone. I just hope that iMessage is being brought to Lion soon enough, which would mean that regardless of what devide I'm on, I could communicate with all of my friends.

The camera app is a lot better for two reasons - lock screen access and volume button shutter. Easy, quick. Photo editing in iOS is severly limited, but being able to rotate and quickly fix small stuff is a nice addition.

The entire PC free, wireless sync and wireless update is amazingly good of course. Another catching up-feature, but still. The Safari additions like Reader and Reading List are small but welcome. It's odd that it took this long for Reader to come to iOS. The multi-touch gestures for iPad is also really nice to have at hand for us that have grown used to the gestures in Liion.
