Things I like about iOS 5

/ Photography, Technology / , , , ,

Following the issues of actually installing iOS 5 onto my iPhone 4 the upgrade has added extra functionality to the phone. The highlights for me are:

  • wireless syncing over our network to iTunes on my laptop
  • iCloud to back up my photograph to my laptop
  • I like the “draw down” notifications screen
  • the new Reminders app is useful particularly when using the notifications screen
  • formatting in email

    • I am off to Cornwall next week for a few days walking and camping so I will try out the upgraded Camera app then and comment on it once I have seen some results.

    Things against iOS 5

  • the Newstand is a non-starter for me
  • has it slowed down the typing speed?

    • Should you upgrade – yes – but look back at my post a out my upgrade experience before you do it – iOS 5 problems.

    West Highland Way – The Train Back to Glasgow

    / Photography, Travel, Walking / , , , , , , , , , ,

    Due to the Nevis Range being in the way the way back to Glasgow, by train, from Fort William requires us to go north to Spean Bridge and Tulloch first – a big detour. Hopefully the rain will clear from the windows so we can see the views.

    the West Highland Way from the moving train – near Tyndrum

    We are now in a coffee bar, in Glasgow. Richard is hallucinating that the waitress looks like “Penny”. Time to go home.
