Good news, Apple-heads and technophiles! Apple unveiled iOS 5 yesterday, and some of the upgrades look pretty awesome.
I'm particularly pleased to see more effort to consolidate similar functions, e.g. the Newsstand and Notification Center; I don't think the the folder system was cutting it, too much flipping between applications for my liking. Similarly, I support the push toward the Cloud.

The most significant upgrade is one of omission, specifically Facebook's omission, and Twitter's position as the dominant social media platform within in OS.
So just how much is upgraded? Well, here is a handy apples-to-apples comparison to iOS 4 that hits the major differences.

About World IPv6 Day

On 8 June, 2011, Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, Akamai and Limelight Networks will be amongst some of the major organisations that will offer their content over IPv6 for a 24-hour "test flight". The goal of the Test Flight Day is to motivate organizations across the industry – Internet service providers, hardware makers, operating system vendors and web companies – to prepare their services for IPv6 to ensure a successful transition as IPv4 addresses run out.


Please join us for this test drive and help accelerate the momentum of IPv6 deployment.
