What People are Looking Forward to in iOS 5

We’ve asked for it. And we expect to see it happen. In a ferment of excitement that has rattled both - Apple and Microsoft driven philosophies - Google has taken some novel afflatus to bring its Android platform to the dais of Technology Commencement Address. A best one at that. Apple and Microsoft have dipped a bit, by an inconsequential increment though, but they got to find a way to transition back to their heyday, the years that have fructified the vacant with some succulent and sensible taste at success. Since the topic is nothing short of “what people are looking forward to in iOS,” I feel that - iOS has run its course twice, thrice, and perhaps for the fourth time if Apple tries to satiate the roistering, sweltering, and rambunctious bedlam of users with the same feel, look, taste, and smell, of its corrugated Operating System, at which they’ve been manipulated and cloyed with a bland risqué, made unwittingly aware through their simpering moue - with its lack of ingenuity and freshness that this conservative Americanism was an indirect source of their malaise. They want change, the remedy, and a nostrum by a long-shot. Here are the changes people are most looking forward to in the next installment of iOS:

... that widgets should be utilized. This is nothing like a mind-boggling headline or a weird and insensibly untouched conjecture that has found a way out from a previously-unknown, and cabalistic, piece of information about the mysteries of Tutankhamun. People have asked for the utilization of widgets for quite a time, and when that didn’t happen, they raptured the word “it” with a strong, invidious, and incriminating, sibilant. They want their Twitter, Facebook (SNS) status, calendar, weather, and stocks, on a separate, and designated, page, where  icons and other wastrel are invisible. But only widgets. 

... that it needs a better notification system. No, actually, iOS is missing it. It has been nixed completely, out of Apple’s blotter sheet. There’s no such thing as a notification system in iOS, lest you’d count the dyspeptic (and ridiculously laminated as noble and prodigious by Apple) notification system that incessantly gets on your way, tampers with whatever you’re up to. You just cued up a 30-minute video of a Huckabee-Romney palaver, on YouTube, and about 7 minutes into the video, you get a text message from your friend, who tells you he’s watching the same 30-minute video of a Huckabee-Romney palaver and suggests you watch it. The video stops, of course, and if your phone can’t multitask, you’re a real patsy, the victim of your hangdog friend who has made you to reload that 30-minute video. Apple cannot scrawl its code for the notification system in an illegible and rushed longhand. To do it gracefully without a speck of error is to make the new system a rather subliminal affair, something users are made aware through a notification bar or column, the likes of Android’s and Microsoft’s. Not an idiotic and hideous message that gets on My Way.

That just about wraps it up. Colonnaded with a straw of perfection, and its stream of porticos that suffuse into Your Majesty. These are the fronts of Apple in 2009. But wherefore art thou in this remarkable period of platitude? Apple is in some messy time now, but here I am hoping for it to renew its charms and magic from two years ago with some swashbuckling, new breed of its sententious lark - hopefully through the new touches of iOS 5.0.
