I'm always looking for a better "to do" application, and haven't found one that I really like. I always thought that Apple should have made one as part of iOS, and now they have with "<a href="http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#reminders" target="_blank">reminders</a>." This is a feature I'm really looking forward to, but it isn't the only one. Opening the camera right from the lock screen is going to take away a big annoyance for me as it has always been cumbersome to get that shot when you have to go through several steps just to get it open. And last but not least, the iMessage feature is going to (hopefully) be fantastic. Perhaps now I can drop my unlimited text option. Then again, with a teenage daughter that might not be such a great idea. How about you, what are your favorite features in iOS 5?</p>
