You can even resume the conversation where you have left last time. Well this is the BBM alternate for the iDevices
  • Reminders: One good feature of iOS5 is that the feature of reminding events is much more than just being an alarm update. The iOS5 combines the to-do-list and the reminders. So, now you won’t forget your important meeting, which is enlisted, in your to-do-list.
  • Twitter Integration: Twitter comes integrated with the iOS5 software. Now you can stay active on Twitter and share websites from Safari, YouTube, Photos app and more.

As you do it, your handset gets ready to capture the incidents, which rarely appears for a second.
  • New Safari: Now the Safari will be connected to the iCloud service which is also announced to begin from October 12. You can switch between two web pages whenever you want and if you want to cut and paste.  You can read it again after some time then you can save it in the iCloud via Safari Reader tool.
