£270ish for iPad 2 refurb .. wonder what you could grab a second hand one for now, might be worth selling my iPad 1 to CEX whilst they still offer £170 ish for a peanuts upgrade

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

Which method did you use to download it? iPad Settings, nor iTunes 10.6 seem to be able to connect to the iPad server

42.5Wh battery and still only 652g?

Nice.

Forget the high resolution display... that's the most impressive upgrade.

MrMoonX · 7 Mar 2012 at 20:58

its gone from down screen to http unavailable both on uk and US store

Beasty · 7 Mar 2012 at 20:58

I am getting service unavailable rather that the down page now, unsure whether this is good news or not haha

Yeah, I think it's slightly thicker and heavier, but looking over the video at the moment.... The most impressive achievement without a doubt is that battery life is just as good....

I got iTunes 10.6 through Software Update (not Check for updates... in iTunes). iOS 5.1 was available quite quickly in my Settings app on iPhone 4S

Exactly, our ipad 1 is now worthless my son might as well have it. Hell I might as well use it a dinner plate mat

sachinbadiani · 7 Mar 2012 at 20:59

I used Ipad settings and OTA. It needs 1.0GB free space though.

My Apple TV is updating too now

Jimbeam3678 · 7 Mar 2012 at 21:01

Will apple accept warranty claims on the F5 key wearing out ?

Egon · 7 Mar 2012 at 21:01

Apple is trolling me, I'm through to the pre-order page..... then I realised it was the US store

No because unless you're boot-camped you'd be pressing Cmd + R
