My attempt was dropped because the servers are too busy. I'll try again later in the week.

I've done two iPads today. The download wasn't the problem, but their authentication servers seems swamped so it fails in the final stages and you have to do the whole back-up/restore dance every time. I reset mine to factory so restore took no time at all, so even with 7 fails between two machines I was still done in a couple of hours, plus 45 minutes to restore the one I'm keeping from a back-up.

People rave about the split keyboard, but I like the ability to share my library and that you can keep working while it syncs (wirelessly, finally).

The files were on my machine last night. I've loaded it this morning. The restore is in progress right now.

Nope, not seeing much either.

Will need to do the wifes later so we can check out the unified messaging.

It does a backup as part of the install but I ran a sync prior just to be on the safe side.

It's cheap insurance.

Think of Time Machine as a snapshot.

So if you back up your phone via iTunes it will be captured in the next snapshot.

In terms of the upgrade one really has nothing to do with the other though.

Unless, of course, the upgrade fails, and you need to recover from the backup.

I installed 5 this morning on my wife's phone and all went smooth. Gave up last night - servers were too busy. I used the backup and restore option rather than upgrade and it worked well.

Still working on discovering the changes.

I noticed it added an appointment app that looks interesting, a magazine rack app, iCloud and WiFi syncing.

I like that the videos are in a location of their own. Not mixed up with the music.

I think the task sharing will be great. I can share a task list with my wife and have a separate list for just me. It has a feature that it will remind me to do things by location. I often think to myself "the next time I am at the parts store I need a (whatever)" and then later go to the store and forget it. Now it will know I am at the store and that I need to get that thing.

I know all the privacy folks will think that is nuts but I can't care less if big brother knows I am at the auto parts store.
