If you have ever used "WhatsApp", you will not feel strange when you are using iMessage.

I will give the top one new feature to Notification Center. Apple finally gives up the annoying pup-up window when you are playing game or having something important. The previous notice window like a box with no words, it is really annoying, especially at night, when you are playing games or just chating with friends, a notice window pop-up, have you ever imagine that you will throw your iPhone to the wall.

Now Apple brings us Notification Center to replace the unwelcome pop-up window. This one is like the "Mobile Notifier" app or something like that. The Notification Center not only shows user notice, but also the weather and app's real-time info. If you lock the screen, you can also use the drop-down notice without unlock the screen. When yo swipe the screen, you will see the summary of every notification.

Apple's iMessage is something like "BlackBerry Message". It runs on more than one devices with iOS 5. For example, you can first chat with your friends with your iPhone and then pick up your iPad to talk with them directly. In future, Mac OS Lion will have this feature also. With it you can see who is reading with delivery and read recipts. While, the difference with WhatsApp is that you can not run iMessage with uniOS devices. Maybe Apple thinks that it is not worth to talk to your friends that with Android and BlackBerry freely.
