Apple may have talked aboutsome novel stufftoday , but there are plenty of things it said nary a word about . Facebook apps ? Sprint iPads ? Resolving multiple Apple I.D. and MobileMe accounts ? C’m on !
Facebook App for iPad
severely , WTF is stopping Facebook from releasingthis thing . Their full site sucks in Mobile Safari . Their touching website sucks in Mobile Safari . The descale up iPhone app looks like shit , but it ’s somehow infinitely more functional . I call back they would use one of the biggest tech events of the year to give upon us what they withheld at f8 . Nope .
Facebook ’s iPad App Is immerse In Its iPhone App
iCloud/iTunes Account Merging
Negotiating between iCloud and iTunes logins in iOS is awkward to say the least . It ’s almost impossible to order what apps habituate what logins . Which Apple ID do I use , since Apple made me create a whole raw one when I sign up for MobileMe ? Why do I have two logins ? Why did n’t Applesave us from this ?

iMessage/iChat/Facetime
iMessage , iChat and Facetime are anoverlapping mess of communication . I on the Q.T. hoped Apple would just shut down the Facetime program into the iMessage and iChat apps . I also kind of wish iMessage gained the ability of AIM / Gchat / Facebook New World chat . Or at least get desegregate into iChat . But alas , I was go out hanging like a hopeful Saint Bridget at the altar .
iMessage Probably Coming to iChat
Sprint iPad
Apple is now in bottom with Sprint . As a Sprint customer , I ’m very happy about this ! But you ’d think that Apple and Sprint would need to crown their big announcment with a parade of announcements , and not just a wispy proclamation about the iPhone 4S. Like that rumoredSprint iPad . What exactly are Sprint iPhone data plan going to search like ? Sprint would n’t secernate us , but we hope they ’re still inexhaustible .
Thunderbolt Functionality
Apple has this awe-inspiring raw data transport monetary standard called Thunderbolt ( aka LightPeak ) . And I bang they ’re all about wireless sync with iOS 5 , but sometimes you need to reassign gravid chunks of datum in a hurry . I just wish well their novel iOS gadget support the fastest port on their new machine .
Oh, also…
No NFC ? It ’s not an infrangible dealbreaker , but there aresome playfulness thingsyou can do with that little RFID chip . Just look at whatGoogleand HP did .
