What's your favorite new iOS 5 feature?

[Gabriel1]

I love lots of things, but one thing that I don't like is that gestures isn't available for the iPad1. But I am so happy with most everything else that I can't really complain too much. Notifications and iCloud are awesome! I really like those. But there was so much, I still don't know everything that changed! lol. Oh and the new Safari! Nice!

If you do a search on these forums you will find that there is indeed a way of adding gestures to an iPad 1 and no need to jailbreak either.......so now you can like everything about iOS 5!

Thanks, Gabriel. It errored out when I tried to save the poll, but I didn't find a way to go back and fix.

I voted for notifications. Ever so much better to get that little banner at the top versus a pop-up that you MUST press to remove (and then, for me, promptly forget about!).

I agree. I especially like a listing of all notifications when I turn it on or wake it up.

Wireless sync and the new safari.

5.0

The sync is cool. I am ambivalent about the new Safari although the tabs are okay.

Notification center is my fav so far.

Swiping with your fingers to switch btween apps reduces tapping...wonderful!

The first thing I instantly liked was being able to continue using it whilst syncing (USB) instead of staring at a screen saying 'syncing, slide to cancel'.

iMessage. iCloud synch between devices. Someone was at my at my apt using wifi and my iTunes library came up on her laptop while I was on the desktop. Too funny.

Oh yes, being able to tweet web pages via my browsers instead of having to download via my flex search. However, they need to have the title of the page show up as well instead of me having to type or copy it from the page.

I'm really impressed with Photo Stream. I took a picture on my iPhone and within 10 seconds it appeared on both my iMac and my iPad. No more transfers! Sweet.
