iOS 5 is good, but also bad
10 June 2011
I think what Apple did was to go through the App Store and the Cydia App Store and pluck out the most popular apps from each category and integrate them into the core functionality of the OS. ie. Instapaper, MobileNotifier, the whole ‘Weather’ category, the whole over-priced ‘Productivity’ category filled with to-do apps, WiFi Sync, WhatsApp, Camera+, TextExpander… and more.
I don’t think this is a bad thing for the user at all, but for 10 or so developers it’s devastating.
