I've been holding off until the next beta version due to the many comments on the developer forum
have you really had no issues at all?

I can´t say there´s no issues...some apps might not work (like pixelpipe on the iphone), but most do, namely the ones i use most. Also, sometimes you can get a random crash, but they´re not frequent, at all, and everything else works has it should, namely the new features like notifications, icloud backup, etc...Battery has also not been much worse on the ip4, and on the ipad i don´t see any difference at all. I say, try it, specially because you can downgrade.
I´ve had all my iphones (3g, 3gs, now 4) and ipad jailbroken almost all the time, but i´m not missing that right now, and i´m determined to go through all the beta testing period withou downgrading, specially because next upgrades might come has OTA Delta upgrades (not the entire firmware will be replaced has it was usual in iOS)

I've been running for a few days and it is a fairly stable beta. Sadly the two main apps (Train times, NextBus) that I use for my commute no longer work, so I've bought the android equivalents for my SGS2
The notifications are certainly an improvement but what I don't like is that when you have unread notifications, there's nothing visible on the task bar to show you that, which kind of misses the point.
There's alot more config in there, though mostly for new features like iCloud, OTA upgrade, Synchronise etc.
btw, Synching while still being able to use the device is good. I'll look forward to them enabling the wifi sync.
Reminders are nice, though I was happy using the calendar or alarms, but location reminders really make this worthwhile (i.e. when you're getting old like me and go somewhere and then forget why you're there
- where's Tranquil!)
still testing...

beta 2 is a big improvement and alot more stable. The apps that didn't work on beta 1 are once again working on beta 2 and there's more features working now too
the final product is going to be a huge update that I'm sure will make most idevice owners pretty happy.
two things dissapoint me though. tabs are only available in Safari on the iPad, not on the iPhone.
Also, the notification pull down notifications should be available on the lock screen without unlocking the phone, and there really needs to be an indicator on the top so you know there is an unread notification

I'm using 4.3.1 and I like they way hackers are implementing Os 5.0 features in 4.3 phones..
I'm using the camera button in the lock screen and is very handy.

I thought Safari in the iPhone always had tabs Mass? Is that tabs as in browser windows?

previously, on the ipad and iphone you had to click an icon which gave a mini view of each page. On the ipad you could see all open pages at once in the mini view. On the iphone you scroll sideways to find the page you want.
Ipad now has tabs which look the same as you see on your pc browser across the top of whatever page you have open. This gives quicker access to each page you have open without all this mini page view nonesense.
Unfortunately iOS 5 on iPhone still does it the old way.

Ah yes, i see what you mean, the Android1.6 web browser was similar, it could only show 3 mini pages and you had to scroll through them if the one you want is the last one.

after some days use now, and having finally put iOS 5 on my iPad, I feel this is getting close to gold and am now thinking about the iPhone 5.
They really have to make 64gb version after the 3GS and 4 max was 32gb. I am constantly struggling with capacity issues with all the video podcasts I watch combined with my music and music video collection.
Having used the Galaxy S2 for a month a slightly larger screen won't hurt either.
Other than that, the iOS 5 offerings are really meeting my needs now and I can't think of much else I could use, oh, except perhaps a radio if it is usable as most radio's in phones are rubbish in my experience when on the move such as commutting on a train.
anyone else have other thoughts for iOS 5 or iPhone 5?
