2:53 AM - Five New Features iOS 6 Will Have, According to the Rumors

WWDC is coming in a week, however, according to the rumors, we won't see any iOS device in this conference, but what we won't miss is the information about iOS 6, Mountain Lion, iCloud and so on. iOS 6 will meet us until this fall, but there are many guesses about it, one of them is that many new features will be added to iOS 6.

The first one is MountainLionCenter, it is a Cydia tweak, which can allow users to freely control the notification center, In addition, it supports both portrait and landscape screen mode. Just like how Mac users open the notification center, users can tune out the interface via slipping the screen from right to left. In addition, if using MountainLionCerter, some icons in status bar may be hidden so developers add those icons to MountainLionCerter so that users can view them conveniently.

The second is Siri. Right, you may feel excited about this news, because generally, iPhone 4S is the only device that can use Siri right now. We can not only rip dvd to ipad to watch HD movies on the Retina Display, according to 9to5Mac, Siri will come to iPad with iOS 6. However, only new iPad can have it, so if you own a new iPad, you can talk to Siri at that time. It will come complete with music playback, iMessaging, calendar managing, reminders, weather, maps integration, emailing, notes, contacts searching, Safari integration, Worlfram-Alpha searching and more. The only thing missing from Siri for the iPad will be the phone-related commands.



The third one is iCloud Tabs. iCloud Tabs allows iCloud users to view the labels in Safari on multiple iOS and Mac devices. After clicking the iCloud Tabs on the iOS 6 device or Mac, the opened label on each device will be displayed in a synchronized list, so users can quickly select the label. iCloud Tabs on the iPhone and iPod touch was hidden in the Bookmark Toolbar.

Another one is Do Not Disturb. This feature lets users turn off the notifications and messages from notification center. Sources say that while the option is present directly in the Mountain Lion Notification Center, the Do Not Disturb toggle is stationed like the Airplane Mode button in settings.

Of course, the new features of iOS 6 are more than these. Mark Gurman over at 9to5Mac relays what trusted sources told him, that iOS 6 will also include Mail VIPs, which is a new feature Apple announced in OS X Mountain Lion that works in a manner similar to Gmail's Priority Inbox in that it automatically collects your important email messages.

We can do many things on iPad right now, like how to transfer photos from pc to ipad, and if these rumors about iOS 6 new features are true, it will be more convenient for us to make the most of iPad and other iOS devices, so about the authenticity of these information, we just wait for the WWDC in next week.

5:26 AM - Features of iOS 6: Siri,FaceBook,FaceTime and So On

WWDC was held at the Moscone in San Francisco, Apple brought us the whole new iOS 6, which has more than 200 new functions, certainly can give users better experiences. This new update is only not available for iPad 1, iPod touch 1-3, so most Apple users have the chance to enjoy the functions that iOS will bring us this fall. Now let's see what features Apple has introduced about iOS 6 at WWDC.

1. Siri. This voice assistant is always the first one to recommend. Siri is one the most impressive features in iOS 6, but only new iPad can use it, of course and iPhone 4S. The voice functionality of Siri will be richer and more humane. In the future Apple will cooperate with a number of car manufacturers to develop products that can support Siri. Now except for figuring out how to transfer dvd to ipad to watch DVD movies, new iPad users also can play jokes with Siri. Siri in iOS 6 can support Chinese, French, Italian and other new languages, which means this voice assistant is more international.

2. 3D Map App. The most direct result of competition between Apple and Google is that Apple will have its own map app. iPhone users have been using Google Maps for a long time, but this time, Apple released 3D map app at WWDC, the cooperation between Apple and Google now is over. Apple promised "vector-based map elements" that provide for smooth graphics and text, as well as "incredibly fluid" panning, tilting, and zooming.



3. FaceTime. As iOS user, who wouldn't use FaceTime to video chat between each other? But there is one disadvantage about FaceTime, that we only can use it via Wi-Fi, well, this issue wouldn't exist any more. iOS 6 enables FaceTime calls over a cellular connection, 3G network. So now even we are outside, there is no Wi-Fi, we still can chat with friends via FaceTime, Apple will also unify your Apple ID and your phone number, enabling you to not only take calls on the move but answer calls from your Mac or your iPad with FaceTime.

4. Facebook. Finally, only Twitter integration is available on iOS devices before, now Facebook has been added in the list too. We can now post to Facebook directly through Apple's app. If you have watched some interesting movie on iPad with dvd to ipad converter, you can just share it to Facebook directly and introduce it to all your friends, very nice right?

5. Safari. First and foremost is the ability to sync open tabs from Safari on a desktop to Safari on an iOS device via iCloud. Brand new safari browser will also add offline reading feature. Now, Safari can cache full websites for offline reading, not just links.
