I was trying to remember how to spell terrytory during Words With Friends when Instagram killed my vibe. It’s been like that since notifications came to the iPhone: rude, interrupting alerts murdering the flow of your mobile experience.

Now, Apple updates it’s iOS with over 200 new features, like “Notification Center”, a spot on your device that lets you see all the apps that desperately need your attention. Think of it as a nanny who keeps the kids at bay.

My other favorite update to the OS is “PC Free” – OTA updates, no plugging into a PC or iTunes anymore.

There are other features (over 200, Apple boasts), but with just those two, Apple moves closer into Blackberry’s terrytory.

When I left my job at Apple retail I didn’t remind them about my staff MobileMe account. I kept it silent in hopes that I could still use the “Find My iPhone” service just in case something bad happened. I’ve been lucky they’ve not shut me down in the last year.

This week Apple revealed “iCloud”, a free service that allows you to stream/sync music, photos and files from device to device, effectively replacing MobileMe. If you were one of those poor schleps who purchased a MobileMe account recently, Apple is offering a refund (Via Gizmodo).

I’m still living in fear that someone in the back office of the Apple Store does some serious past-employee account wiping and cut me off before. But that’s me living dangerously.
