iOS 5.

The "Big" Ones.

- iMessage. Encrypted messaging with photos, video, contacts, locations. Uses WiFi or 3G.
- iCloud (almost needs a separate thread).
- Twitter Integration into iOS.
- WiFi syncing/PC Free/OTA Updates (no more need to own a PC to update or backup your phone).
- Notification Centre.

The "Other" Ones.

- Vibration patterns. Tap user-defined vibration alerts for each contact.
- LED flash for alerts (as mentioned).
- Completely customizable sounds for every type of alert (finally).
- Phone can be used while syncing (no more waiting).
- Tabbed browsing in Safari.
- Keyboard shortcuts (finally).
Summary: Apple is finally integrating everything other phones have already had for years.

Cutting edge stuff ...
