Last evening, a representative of the Twitter social network announced that in October 2 conferences will be held in New York and London where company developers will discuss the implementation of the social network in iOS 5. The first conference will take place on October 10 in London and the second on October 12 in New York, but before them we have to see the presentation conference of the new operating system. If Twitter has scheduled its conference after the 10th, then Apple will hold it until that date because integration in the new operating system cannot be presented before the operating system is officially shown to the whole world.
There's a lot going on in the ecosystem and we'd like to take this chance to share the highlights with you – including the latest developments with the platform, areas of opportunity that we're seeing, and a heavy focus on the iOS 5 Twitter integration for developers. We'll also be holding a Q&A session with members of the platform team, plus time to hang out with each other.
Until now, the implementation of Twitter in iOS 5 was limited only to a section in the Settings application and to the possibility of uploading pictures or sharing links directly in our timeline, but many users requested a menu from which they could actually chat on Twitter without using a special application. It is possible that the final version of iOS 5 will be released by October 10, but don't get your hopes up that this will happen because Apple doesn't schedule its releases according to Twitter's conferences, it's the exact opposite.
