I think this is one of the greatest thing that have been added to an iOS since a while. Right now I'm using this with some NGU users and find this so great in my iPad :y:
-Notification Center
This is another great addition to the iOS, now we don't have that notifications that interupt your game and all that stuff, now we get a nice banner. For me this is great because I'm always getting a lot of emails :y:
-Multitasking Gestures
This feature is only for iPad. This is one of the greattest things I have see. I jailbreak my iPad 2 in 4.3.3 just for using this, so this is a :y:
-Keyboard
Awesome! That's all I have to say, now I don't need to type using only one hand and holding the iPad with the other one. :y:
-Wireless Sync with iTunes
I have don't use this yet but this is like that Cydia tweak that let you connect the iPod wirelessly to iTunes so maybe this is a great thing
-Newsstand
I really don't have any use for this now but if the locals newspaper do a subcription to receive it directly in the morning.
-Reminders
This is great because something we miss things so now I put everything I need to do and I get a notification and do all at time :fyea:
