Where have you had your UDID registered?

A Mate did it for me.

I cba to pay £60 again for this year.

There are lots of people selling the service for $5 tho online.

Its installed and up and running - took 2 restores, first time icloud decided it didn't like my contacts. Restored and didn't merge straight away and its working fine.

Everything appears to be working sweet atm, the syncing of apps is really slow currently over wireless - slower than before I think.

The new AF function on the camera doesn't appear to want to work with the flash on.

Everything else appears to be working perfect tho, notifications are great.

Anyone know where the option for the LED flash notification is?

I'm sorry, and I do like apple, but my god they just lifted a load of things off android, the notification centre, had to burst out laughing at that one.

Exactly - If you want iso5 now - buy an Android device.

AFAIK the LED flash notification is in settings under accessibility.

Yup got it working now

Crashing a fair bit atm, thought it was due to icloud not really working great for me atm - to many apps i dont' use anymore, but it appears its just the os, I've had problems getting into phone and twitter.

Agreed, I wouldn't install this on any device you actually use/rely on. Installed on some of my test equipment and it crashes back to springboard, lots.

Maccy · 7 Jun 2011 at 11:10

I'm not going to bother getting it through my developer account, judging by the number of negative things I've read about it crashing.

waso_dude · 7 Jun 2011 at 11:26

Mines def a lot better after removing the icloud stuff currently - i'll set it back up when home tonight and see if its better.

No crashes in the last hour since removing it.

It appears the icloud stuff was just syncing constantly and making the device slow and unstable.

Noxia · 7 Jun 2011 at 11:26

I was gonna hop on to Android this month but now I'm not gonna bother.

I know battery went down 25% in what feels like 20 mins after a full icloud sync. Worryingly bad

According to people, some are getting better battery while others like myself's battery is getting raped. Is yours rather hot to touch?

It did feel quite a lot warmer than usual

Dewotter · 7 Jun 2011 at 13:37

Got this on the latest iPod touch. For a first beta it's pretty damn stable, not had a crash yet.

There's a big Android update out in a few months, I wonder how iOS 5 will look then. As at the moment Apple have just copied Android and jailbroken apps with a bare minimum of originality.

Of course the general public that think iPhone is the be and end all will think everything is original and exciting.

Okay seems the wireless is the problem with draining the battery bit time. With wifi connected and a VPN connection at work - usually the vpn will drop after 5mins wiht no activity. Now its on all the time - 4hours and counting, and i havn't used the net once.

Appears a lot of data is being sent in the background currently - icloud? bug reports?

Its hard to know what it is, but dropping the VPN and Wifi has made my battery last a lot longer.

Johnny|lucidcomposure · 7 Jun 2011 at 14:23

Yeah it is without question the wifi. Thats why it gets so hot
