The new no computer needed setup is interesting. However you do need wireless access to create / login to an apple Id account. Apart from that t is pretty good

Notifications on the lock screen are also nice. I know a few people who jb thier phones just for that

Not tried it on an ipad yet, will get round to it shortly.

Will Apple let the 3GS owners play too?

Edited to add: Answer at the bottom of the linked page; yes!!

Wow, that is all mega exciting..... if you own an iThing.

Of course, Android users have had most of this stuff for ages. Notifications? Come on

Android has lots of things that iOS doesn't. Fraud, Malware and a lot of extra clicks are just a few of them.

Interesting. Some good features eventually!!
I'm still in a dilemma with this lot.

ios5 looks very good, but I'd want a new phone. Not prepared to settle for iphone 4 though, not this close (potentially) to iphone 5 release.

Or I need to look a alternative manufacturers. Take a break from Apple.
Bad timing on my part tbh. Need to get my upgrade/completion times back in "sync" with the conventional phone-release times!!

BUT ios5 does look pretty interesting.

Whilst I own a iPhone (which maybe construed as bias), it looks like Apple have given ios extra's that android etc has had for a time. Not a problem in my book, as it overall pushes the ios on again.

Just when others thought they were getting close. lol You gotta love the "drip feed" approach taken by Apple...... it is commercial genius. Only give it when you need to give it, keeping the wolves at bay.
