havent seen anything on here about this yet..

http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html

some main features include iMessage, similar to blackberry messenger, integrated twitter, mobile hotspot, and a souped up e-mail app. Cant wait for this to come out.

Apple: the EA Sports of the mobile phone industry. Take something that a competitor has been doing all along (BBM, notification panel, cloud computing) and package it as a new idea you came up with.

Ha, that's funny... Kinda like Google and Microsoft has done to Apple over the years..

GTFO.

iOS 5 looks very nice. Liking the looks of the new email system and notifications.

Goes both ways.

Although iOS 5 really isn't a very big update (neither is OS X Lion).

I'm not denying that. But I didn't say anything about computers. I was talking about mobile OS.

I think OS XLion is a pretty significant update... Much more so than Snow Leopard was... The amazing thing is, Apple is only charging $29 for new OS' now...

It isn't a good update IMO. All it does is (poorly) integrate iOS esque features into Mac OS X. I really think the way Microsoft has integrated Windows Phone like features into Windows 8 is a much better idea.

Again, I like both for different reasons though.

^It is.

2K sports single handedly killed the NBA Live franchise and was seriously rivaling Madden until EA bought the NFL license, which caused 2K to buy the MLB license..

2K makes one good game and that is NBA. MLB2K is a joke.

Yes it is, but so is Madden.

And NBA Live wasn't even good enough to be called a joke. It was scrapped altogether lol
