5 handy features that come with iOS5

With the release of iOS5, apple has kept some of its handiest tools under wraps, and a pretty undiscovered. Little things that got on our nerves, they have fixed, and made our experience a lot easier. Here are my top 5 new features:

5. Delete Songs

Something ive always wanted to was delete songs and album straight off my phone. Now with iOS5, you can delete them with a single swipe. Very handy.

4. Create Photo Albums

You can now create photo albums right on your device. Go into photos, edit and then tap 'add' you name your album and there you go.

3. Lock Screen Camera

A double-tap of the home button now lets you access a little camera button in the bottom right hand corner of your screen. Very quick and easy to access when you have to get that shot.

2. Volume button snapshot.

Taking a picture on your iPhone has never been easier. Use the '+' volume button on your phone and you can take a snap. A lot easier than moving your finger to the bottom central camera button.

1. In-app photo editing.

Something a lot of us have been waiting for. After taking a picture, tap edit and a choice of effects comes up. You can crop your photo, enhance it, remove the red eye or rotate it. The cropping tool is excellent, and the picture quality is never lost.

Honourable Mention:

Intergrated twitter access is very good. Tweet from safari, camera, youtube - anywhere. Smooth and fast transitioning.
