Apple announced a several new features in OS X 10.10 Yosemite and iOS 8 at WWDC on Monday. One of the most interesting features is part of their "Continuity" effort. The new feature, called "Handoff", makes all your devices aware of what each other are doing. Handoff allows you to move information between your devices in a seamless way.
Handoff lets you pick up right where you left off.
Now you can start writing an email on your iPhone and pick up where you left off when you sit down at your Mac. Or browse the web on your Mac and continue from the same link on your iPad. It all happens automatically when your devices are signed in to the same iCloud account. Use Handoff with favorite apps like Mail, Safari, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Maps, Messages, Reminders, Calendar, and Contacts. And developers can build Handoff into their apps now, too.
