What's new in the OS that powers the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch
They're finally here: iOS 5 and iCloud. The updated OS for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch -- models from the last two years at least will run the new iOS 5 -- bring some really useful and cool technologies to the Apple mobile ecosystem. And iCloud is destined to make working with data across devices second-nature, which will in turn make mobile computing an even more normal, entrenched activity for workers.
So without further ado, let me take you through the dozens of key enhancements and new features in iOS 5 and iCloud in the following slides.
