I am also not very happy about iOS 5, although I kinda figured. I never liked 'dropbox' and cloud based storage, depending on what I'm storing
Voice commands didn't suprise me much
Siri is networked based. If I do not have data connection, I cannot even say play music or anything along the lines. I can however disable Siri and use the old Voice Command, either way its not something I'd use too much. It's not very impressive ATM, although I'm sure additional support will be added later.
The voice recognization is very accurate, great for talk to text messaging and what not.
Wifi iTunes sync, I like. Since I always have my device connected at home but do not add music to it that often.
The custom vibration pattern that is available is interesting, have no clue when this was added to the iPhones.
What I dislike:
Notifications only weather and stocks (can I even add more 'widgets'?)
If you go in settings - Notifications you can have other notification there, don't know if additional 'Widgets' are available on App store
Is this pull down notification stuff what people are referring to the widgets?
I really like the notification center (or android's status bar), i just wish i could toggle Wifi, 3G, Bluetooth, and Airplane mode up there.
Newsstand and some of the of the other "required" apps are a bit annoying. I wish there was an Apps drawer like android so all my apps arent all over my springboard.
Now whats this talk about widgets?
I wish this was added also. I haven't used a iPhone in ages until recently. Is there even a quick way to toggle vibration? I believe the widgets part of the slide down notification. The weather notification is a 'widget' according to the settings menu.
It doesn't have to be charging for WiFi syncing. That was only for the first beta of iOS 5.
In the settings on the iPhone at least it says Automatically sync with iTunes when it is plugged in to power and connected to WiFi. Not sure if you can be manually sync without charging. Or if this statement was accidentally left in but is no longer the case.
