The iOS v5 Update was a PITA.......compounded by some mistakes on Apple's behalf

Having said that it was the single biggest update carried out on Apple iOS Devices since they became available...........the biggest and best change is that it will allow "Over the Air Updates" in the future........just as Android devices always have

The iOS 5 Update also allows Wireless Syncing with your iTunes library, which is a big advance IMHO

So Apple screwed up in some ways, which were a hassle to many users......but the resultant advances are worthwhile
