Top Ten Things Apple Revealed At WWDC

At the annual "Worldwide Developer's Conference" today, Steve Jobs and other Apple executives announced a flurry of new products and upgrades. Here's the top ten, according to Business Insider.

• 1. Mac OS X "Lion"

  

  The new version of Mac OS X will incorporate many more elements from iOS, like touch gestures. It's also only $30, and available through the Mac App Store.

• 2. More efficient iOS notifications

  

  Instead of managing multiple pop-up bubbles, notifications will align themselves at the top of the screen.

• 3. System-wide integration of Twitter

  

  Each app will now allow you to easily tweet out photos, YouTube videos, and links.

• 4. Location-aware reminders

  

  These reminders can be set so that if you go to a specific location you need something from, iOS will notify you so that you don't forget.

• 5. iMessage

  

  Like Research in Motion's BBM service, iMessage is an iOS-to-iOS messaging program that avoids text charges and caps.

• 6. Wireless syncing

  

  Calling this the "post-PC" era, iOS users will now be able to simply login with their Apple IDs and sync all their devices.

• 7. Volume button = camera button

  

  For faster access, the left-side volume buttons can now open up the camera as well.

• 8. iCloud

  

  The biggest announcement was "iCloud," which will give every iOS user a free 5GB of storage, and allow you to store documents, photos, music, calendars, contacts, and emails online.

• 9. Instant-access iTunes purchases

  

  Now you'll be able to buy a song on iTunes and immediately transfer it to your iOS device.

• 10. iTunes "scan and match"

  

  For $25 a year, Apple will scan all your music files--regardless of their source--and convert them so that they can all be accessed through the cloud.
