[nabs-l] iphone issue

Wed Oct 3 23:10:55 UTC 2012

It is an improvement in my opinion. I particularly enjoy custom actions, and the fact that touch typing mode is a lot more responsive now. The maps app works with VO in an incredible way. You can actually touch the map and follow streets etc. VO makes a particular noise when you follow a street, and lets you know when you get to an intersection etc. Turn by turn navigation is also accessible. What's for sure is that iOS 6 is not any worse than iOS 5, so just go ahead and update. No strange bugs or issues for me...
