iPhones Getting Better
Is that even possible? I mean I know they have the best mobile applications and the most intuitive system but apparently they can get even better. Apple made a big deal of connecting the Mac and iPhone (and iPad). The company took out much of the hassle of coordinating multiple connected devices. For example, devices using OS X 10 and iOS 8 will "just sense" each other and work together. A call coming in on your iPhone will show up on your Mac, and you'll be able to reply to standard SMS messages without using iMessages. The heightened coordination should improve workflow, enabling you to start a document on one device and move to a different one halfway through. If you're working on an email on your Mac and move to the iPad, you'll be able to flick up on the lock screen to finish the email and send from that device. Another great thing coming the iPhone is easier typing that actually learns from your speech patterns and who it is that you are talking with. For the first time, Apple will also be allowing third party keyboards to be used system-wide. That means Swype, a very popular keyboard for Android, and many more will soon be available for iPhone users.

The best mobile applications are on iOS. I think it is a good thing that they are going to have swype on it with the new update.
ReplyDeleteThe Swype mobile application is one of the most useful ones I have used. It makes typing so much quicker.
ReplyDeleteWith all the software development, it is easy to see how it could still get better. Though some of mobile applications tend to waste a lot of time.
ReplyDeleteYou can get more variety with the mobile applications on Android. You can actually write some of the apps yourself and use them.
