iOS7, Yes or No???

Hmm, as the title might imply, I've spent the past several hours downloading and installing the infamous iOS7!!!!  OOOOHHHH...... But, as much as I thought I'd be super stoked to see all the kitschy new features, I'm a bit disappointed.

After waiting what seemed like FOREVER for the darn thing to download, and getting the new software installed on both my iPhone5 and my iPad, I'm a bit bewildered.  It looks and feels like something a windows or android phone might have.
:(   hence the frowny face

As I am writing this post, I came across this article (check under photo at left) from Computerworld as it talks about this new update as being so much more than just a sleek, clean, new look.

I mean, what was their intent?  Was Apple trying to revamp their whole look to match a windows or android phone?  One of the main reasons I bought an Apple phone was because it looked NOTHING like a windows or Android phone.

The mechanics of the software resemble the Android type phones in that they are now using "swipe" to close open apps much like the android phones I've seen in the past.

I am not a big fan of the new revamped calendar format; however, I DO like the time stamp on the lock screen.  It's quite a bit larger than before and makes it easy to read without glasses.

Still, I guess I should just take some time and poke around on the various screens and see what they do BEFORE making any rash judgements against the latest update.  As with everything else, change is sometimes not always welcome.  Perhaps in a few days I'll be updating this post boasting at how much I LOVE this new format!!  Stay tuned!!
