It has your missed calls, voicemails, text messages, mail messages, facebook updates, ANY push notifications + stocks and weather

Notifications no longer modal, appear at top of window of whatever app your in. Notifications also appear on lock screen, swipe notification to go to that app.

Very like iBooks, but for subscriptions. Background downloads of new issues.

Set up Twitter when you configure iOS device. Camera and Photos integrate, no need to open Twitter to tweet photos, videos from YouTube app, can automatically update photos in Contacts app with their images from Twitter.

Handles lists, phone can remind you to do things.

Thoughts so far: OS X Lion UI is still a disaster, particularly full-screen apps. Twitter integration in iOS is a silly feature to make a big thing out of, more notable as a salvo in Apple's war with Google than as an actual thing that people will use. On the other side of the ledger, the new features in iOS Safari are fantastic and will be more than enough reason to upgrade immediately (also the new notifications UI looks to be a huge improvement).

Assign dates and locations to list items. E.g., when you leave a location, your phone notices and tells you of a call you need to make.
