iPhone Operating System (iOS) 5 has been released! That means a ton of new updates, and a whole lot of cool new features! We are discussing them one by one, and we will also discuss the new updated version of blackberry messenger for the iphone! BBM on iPhone is completely compatible with iOS 5, so you dont have to worry about that.
In iOS 5 Apple go’s a step further with developing new features, Here are some of them:
Notification Center. If you swipe down from your screen you will now see your notification center. All your notifications, emails, reminders, or messages are displayed in one handy sight. You are able to read them directly and quickly. If you are in-game you will now get a little small bar on the top of the screen if you for example get a new text message, saying that you got a new text message.
iMessage. imessage is apple’s answer to blackberry messenger. It is a free messenger system that works with all the apple devices such like the iphone, ipod touch, and the ipad. You will be able to send photo’s, video’s and alot more! You will also be able to see when the user you are chatting with is typing their message, so you will know that there is an incoming imessage notification. But from our experience, chatting with BBM on iPhone is still better.
Twitter integration in IOS. Twitter is now fully integrated in any ios device from apple. This means that you will be able to tweet anything like pictures or videos directly from your iphone, and that you don’t have to switch to a twitter app all the time. I predict that this will increase the activity of twitter tremendously!
Improved Camera Software. With iOS 5 you will be able to use the camera app on your iphone or ipod touch directly from the lock screen. It will also be much easier to zoom, focus and to compress your photo on the fly. You now can also take a photo by pressing the volume buttons instead of having to touch the screen everytime you want to take a picture or video.
Pc Free installation. On the other versions of the ios software you have to hook your device to itunes to activate and to register it with apple. Now this is no longer necessary. You can now directly activate your apple device without having a computer at hand, which is great for people that dont have or use a computer at home.
Wireless Synchronising. You are now able to sync your apple device to your itunes software without hooking it up to the computer! With the advanced icloud software you are able to sync your device via the internet, no need for a cable!

Apart from this software update from apple, we (bbm on iphone) have also released a brand new version of the blackberry messenger on iphone app! We have fixed some bugs, and added some new features. Below is a full list of things we have changed with the update:
