These are my first words about the the new iOS 5.
Before that, you should know how it got here...
When I first got my Ipad back in january 2011 earlier this year, I spent sleepless nights admiring its features and downloading and enjoying the awe inspiring apps available for download from the app store. I have seen times when there were over 400 apps present on my 16 Gb iPad and I used almost all of them with equal frequency. Apps ranging from utilities, marvelous wallpaper collections apps, games, apps for pure entertainment, some of them downloaded just for the heck of it or that it did something I never could have imagined a computer in my hands could have done with me doing something as simple as touching a 9" glass plate which is what acts as the interface for the iPad. It was incredible that something this compact, this light in weight, so rich in graphical content is cable of doing mesmerizing not only me but my entire family as well as every child or adult who comes to witness the thrill that is invoked upon using this landmark device. The iPad was the only thing in my mind several months into me owning this device. It has had a tremendous impact in my life, it is almost that my life revolves around it! It contributes to almost everything I do throughout my day!, the iPad alarm wakes me up, I read the newspaper.. er.. The news on the iPad (I can imagine a time when news in paper is non existent) I watch the news program on a t.v channel on the iPad while I have my breakfast. The iPad has a plan of my day stored in the calendar app, I listen to music on the iPad while I work. For when I get bored, I play a game, take a break and watch a funny video stored in the iPad, update my status on Facebook with the iPad, I tweet from the iPad, I browse the Internet from the iPad. I type my blog drafts on the iPad, I draw on the iPad using an app similar to MS-paint on the iPad, mail the image or even print it wirelessly and use it for some purpose it serves. I listen to the internet radio through the iPad, I refer YouTube for help to fix a problem on my phone, to cook a dish, to learn some fitness exercise. I read books on the iPad, almost any book I want to read, fortunately, can be found in the ebook form in the Internet if one searches hard enough. I download magazines on the iPad to read. Subscribe for them or buy them when I need. To top all this I get instant news updates about the latest happenings around the world as notifications, since typing an article can be done a lot faster than presenting it on a television channel, I can get all the latest news if I am just willing to read.
I should should admit that at times I can be a jackass. After a point using the iPad became a little too redundant. I was using it all the time everyday, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, I route every activity that I do through this device so after a point the iPad became so much a part of my life that it was equivalent to moving an arm or leg so I stopped noticing it being used to do my work. At times I even get bored of it to the extent that I would prefer going out for a walk and a have a snack than stay at home in front of the iPad. That is normal yet would be termed abnormal for a human being surrounded by such technology in this modern age of the 21st Century. Apple fans would even call my act blasphemous and many of them if by chance was reading this would probably be looking for my email ID to send hate mail just for that sentence. But sadly it was true. I used up the iPad so much that it slowly lost its charm and using it had turned into a more mundane activity. I feared that it would remain so for the rest of the gadget's lifetime... But Apple inc. the company which seems to have the workforce which is oozing creativity somehow foresaw such a moment like this occurring in an iGadget user's mind. They will forever keep us guessing how they visualised such a scenario but I must fall at their feet and admit that Apple is by a really huge margin the most creative company in the history of the world.
As an answer to my, an apple product user's eventual loss of enthusiasm to curiously explore already explored features of his product, Apple released an operating system upgrade the iOS 5 upgrade. To me, it was a ray of light at first to pep up my already but now only adequately enchanting device. I was to be hit by lightning for my lack of insight. iOS 5 upgrade comes packed 200 new features to the existing platform. TWO HUNDRED!. that includes so many so many tweaks, major overhauls of the interface, multi touch actions at a whole new level, more features, more default apps, richer graphics and over all, from being called merely an upgrade it is set to transform an already special device into some extraordinary, mind blowing, into something mankind has never witnessed before or never even imagined that some aluminium back glass front, electronics inside all compactly packed into a single pad shaped object thinner than a human finger but to be operated by touch would be capable of such magic. I did annoyingly elaborated how the iPad contributes to my life and now I am just as excited as before, like how I was when I got it at first, curious to know what more the iPad can do. The transformational upgrade has just provided me with a dose of resurgence to further explore what a masterpiece, what a work of perfection this gadget has turned to become sourced from a company, which like most of its competitors, was started off by two people in a garage.
Indeed Steve jobs, the co founder, recently deceased, may rest in peace as Apple has truly revolutionised what a person can expect technology to do to his lifestyle, the impact it can make to his education, career, hobbies, passion, interests... A benchmark his products have set that which competitors try and match but seldom will surpass because what Apple has achieved with the technological advancements in today's world is transcendental.
