As we all know, I am not an Apple guy. I am 100% Microsoft
guy. That said I am never shy to look at other things out there and praise them
(if they deserve).
Recently, I've been involved in learning iPhone development
using MonoTouch
and hence I had some interest in iOS. iOS is the operating system that runs
iPhone and iPad devices and make they what they are today.
iOS 5 is coming this fall and Apple just announced over 200 new features added
to the OS. iOS 5 is compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod Touch 3rd/4th
Generations, iPad, and iPad 2.
Here is a list some of the key features:

Center.

send any number of text, photos, videos, locations, and contacts.
