Totally agree there. About time.

makes you wonder what features would be in an iPhone today if all the things we should have had from the start were there in the first place.

Ask that same question in 5 years time then you will have it.

Can anyone provide a link for where I need to be downloading Beta 3 and the new iTunes please?

I'm currently running beta 2 on my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 so both UDIDs are registered already.

Not allowed to really link on here but Google does have the answers. I will give you a clue with file names.

iTunes - itunes_10.5_beta_3_for_mac_os_x.dmg
iPhone 4 - ios_5_beta_3_iphone_4_gsm_9a5258f.dmg
iPad 2 Wifi - ios_5_beta_3_ipad_2_wifi__3g_gsm_9a5258f.dmg
iPad 2 3G GSM - ios_5_beta_3_ipad_2_9a5258f.dmg
iPad 1- ios_5_beta_3_ipad__9a5258f.dmg
iPhone 3GS - ios_5_beta_3_iphone_3gs_9a5258f.dmg
iPhone 4 CDMA - ios_5_beta_3_iphone_4_cdma_9a5258f.dmg
iPad 2 CDMA - ios_5_beta_3_ipad_2_cdma_9a5258f.dmg
iPod Touch 3G - ios_5_beta_3_ipod_touch_3g_9a5258f.dmg
iPod Touch 4G - ios_5_beta_3_ipod_touch_4g_9a5258f.dmg
AppleTV - apple_tv_software_beta_3_.dmg

PS if your not on a mac then the file names will still help.

Omg Beta 3 is terrible!

Hour and half on standby and 44% battery remaining! WUT!

Can't get wireless to work with appstore properly. Taking 45mins to get facebook app on it.

Its really not good this version. I hope they update really fast.

Id imagine you'd need the latest version of OSX, having said that there are 2 version of Xcode, one for Leopard and one for Snow Leopard.

If you install it via the itunes method then you do need SL as you also need itunes beta to install ios5b3.

I really hope iOS5 doesn't make the bettery life even worse than it already is

 

[Johnny|lucidcomposure]

my iPhone 4 has awesome battery performance compared to the 3GS and all other models.
I mean sure it'll be almost dead by the end of the day but having owned an iPhone since 2007 this is the best to date!

 

[CrispyXUK]

I don't suppose anyone is doing Udid registrations so I can try this out?

 

[Flying_V]

Yes I can - email me your ID and I can add it.

Beta 3 seems quite slow on my 3GS I must admit.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

Not so bad on the IP4.

How does the new iMessage stack up then? Compared to BBM/WhatsApp?

There isn't really much to say other than it works as they say. You can use your phone number or email address to contact each other with it.

From what I've seen/read (unfortunately not first hand) is that it's very good, quick and extremely well integrated.

I must say this though (and please don't take this is a personal pop) there's a lot of reviews on the iTunes store for WhatsApp saying "when the new iMessage comes out it will replace WhatsApp". They all seem to forget that iMessage is great if you and everyone in your contact list has an iOS 5 device etc, but WhatsApp is designed as a cross platform (iOS/Android/BlackBerry) app so can't fairly be compared to iMessage (although their core function is the same).
