The most familiar feature to this webOS user is the new Find My Phone. Former users of HP’s failed OS will recall how you had to log in to Palm’s servers before you could do anything else.

The iOS 7 will be out for iPad 2 and later models (sorry, early adopters), iPad Mini, current iPod Touch models, and all iPhones 4, 4S, and 5. The beta will be available to developers soon, and the final version will be out in the fall (when one can also likely expect a new hardware device).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Apple’s annual development conference kicked off with a hell of a keynote. One of the worst kept secrets was that Apple would be unveiling a new iOS 7. The latest version is the first helmed by Apple Design Guru Sir Jon Ives, and it shows.
