It's only a .2 release so i don't think much will have changed from the tiny .1 delta i had previously!

I know. I like fresh installs too.

Managed what?

Err, to put iOS 5 on.

Mine's installing now after a bit of work.

Well, after almost a days 'normal' use I have to say I really like it. The little tweaks to the UI/Fonts & menu toggle switches look really nice, notification centre is excellent. And it feels very smooth and refined to use.

I've only come across one app with an issue so far and that is the Times app for the iPad which crashes on start and never actually loads, but not worth crying over seen as the OS hasn't been released yet, although I'd have though that especially major apps like that would have been tested/updated by now.

Here is a screen grab of the log in for the control panel on a mac for iCloud.

Anyone had issues with the JB? Mine is constantly in safe mode

Can't seem to get it out. JB it again and no joys.

Is JB tethered only for now?

Just read that it is.

I'm now on iOS5, installed with iTunes for Windows, 10.5 beta 7 and the iOS GM release.

Ignore: Trial Stopped.

Jailbreak is only tethered for iOS5 for now, give it a week, once the official 5.0 is released and there should be 2 or 3 different ways to jailbreak untethered

A lot of Cydia apps don't work at the moment anyway I think that's why I can't get the phone out of safe mode.

I thought iMessage ..err.. messages, always got sent through data connections kinda like email so shouldn't cost anything?

This is a very good question. :confused:

Yep this should be the answer.

It's built into the message system. If they are using iOS 5 and it detects it, it sends it as a message using your data connection not through SMS.

From what I can work out, it's built into messages.

No, if you send media via normal MMS you would have to pay MMS charges, hence most people bought WhatsApp.
