Still no access to store.... ARGHHHH

 

[Pez]

iTunes 10.6 installed, iPad 1 rebooting 5.1.

 

[nsmalley]

It's a good upgrade, but since we can't use 4g yet and Siri doesn't have full functionality in the uk I suspect if you have a 2 it's better to wait a year IMHO..

 

[Alpherah]

Let me know how the iPad 1 runs on 5.1

 

[dannyjo22]

Seriously the ipad 2 is going to be £329 new?
A refurb will almost be a give away. I will upgrade my mrs as well at that price and use her ipad 1 for work and my son to play with!

 

[Beasty]

Yeah I feel dumb for not selling mine yet, the value just plummeted...

 

[King Damager]

Anyone managed to get an iPad running iOS 5.1 whilst using Windows rather than OSX?

[muon]

5.1 done, takes a while though. appstore working fine here.

 

[Kainz]

iPad 1 is at 99% on the 5.1 update. Need to charge the sod though as it is at 20% batt life.

 

[Jimbeam3678]

anyone getting any progress on the store?

yeah me too someone just offered me £300 for a 32gb 3g, thats a bit of a **** take, I'm hoping 350-400

Wow so refurbs will be banged out around £270 which will be an absolute bargain.

 

[GJ02]

How much are they ?

Which smart cover to get, polyurethane or leather?

Your best off buying a 3rd party cover to be honest with you, save at least a tiny bit money.

£399 is the cheapest.

It's nice to have the 'proper' accessories with something like this though and something tells me that Simulatorman isn't short of a few quid anyway.

I think so, you can get a terrible tablet for that price

 

[GJ02]

So 500 for 32 wifi

Honestly, neither. Whilst the Smart cover is cool to begin with, it soon becomes more of a pain than the benefit it provides imo.

Just to confirm here.. ITunes 10.6.0.40 installed on Windows 7 x64 and working.

As I type IOS 5.1 is "installing" on IPad 2 i.e. it's done downloading and now installing (the black screen with the grey apple with the progress bar at 3/4). I will update you soon... I have used OTA though.

I will do the IPhone 3GS some other time (once servers have calmed down).

EDIT: IOS 5.1 working on IPAD 2
