Totally blown away by the iOS presentation

[FFR]

Ha ha , maybe. But I don't think so.

Good man.

Overall I am happy with the additions mentioned today. But I did leave the presentation feeling more of a "finally" than I did a "wow, that is a first". I didn't find much if anything in terms of software that was ground breaking. It seemed like a lot of nice additions that other platforms have enjoyed for a long time...and we are now finally getting them.

Was anyone else surprised by the mention of being used by 98% of Fortune 500 companies? As far as I'm aware Windows is still alive and well in the business world so I was caught off guard when I heard this.

Mobile only, not computers (I'm assuming)

Ok that makes sense, thanks.

Mobile devices are an "entry drug" for Apple addiction... corporate IT departments are very set in their ways, and once they get a taste of how easy iPads and iPhones are to support - they're more inclined to try Macs...

Widgets can be added to Notification Centre once the app devs use the new APIs.

THIRD PARTY KEYBOARDS added! Craig showed a demo of Swype on iOS.

He showed a screenshot, not an actual working demo. There is a difference.

They've been talking about iCloud files a lot. I'm thinking that it must be part of that. If third party apps can access this file storage I'm assuming the native mail app can

I hope so !! That is prob the most annoying things I run into.
Simple reply to an email and add an attachment without composing a new email would be great lol

I felt more of a wow not necessarily because of the additions but by how "open" these additions are for Apple.

Wasn't expected at all! Apple you have a proper convert this time around.

Continuity would make me ditch my PC for a Mac.

Agree with OP. I was expecting a small update like iOS 6. Today blew me away. Apple came out swinging today. The wait until the new iPhones will be torture lol.

I actually felt the same way. Regarding it feeling like an iOS 5 to iOS 6 transition. Apple basically checked off a checklist today. I'm happy with that.

Oh finally they improved the iMessage a lot that was wat I expected. Was wondering if they could add audio note n hell yes they did it . I'm totally in

I really like the Yosemite compared to mavericks and the ios 8 just looks more polished than it already is. Of course no OS is perfect I'm sure it will have bugs, but wow I really want the ios 8 like right now. The quick reply, group messaging? Mind blowing for me, and then everything else that comes with it.

Oh my yes. Over 4000 new APIs for developers to use that will really allow them to get inside the OS a bit more. I do like it that Apple have stated that the TouchID still stays siloed away and devs can access the functions but not the content of the fingerprint scanner. Security is a huge concern and if Apple really do have a large share of the Enterprise market (I can't remember if they said Fortune 500 companies as the presentation was last night for me and i've slept since then) then they need to cater to these people in a massive way too. I think they've done that admirably here.

I was already going to buy myself a Macbook Air when I head to the States later this year. If they bring out a new Retina Air with Yosemite on it then I will be all over that like a shot to go with my iPhone 6 and iOS8.

Yeah they claimed 98% of Fortune 500 companies use their devices. I'm thinking about picking up a Mac now as well given the new Continuity features

I'm most excited about being able to set specific conversations in messaging to 'do not disturb'. I get easily annoyed when the group iMessage with my wife and in-laws gets going and I'm not interested. LOL

Really excited to get ios8 and considering installing the beta on my MacBook Pro!!
