iOS 5 Beta Thoughts

[graywolf]

(really long so I trimmed your post)

You are making me laugh! Mentally retarted browser. (iPad says I am misspelling retarted but I tap on it and the two options are retorted and restarted, so more than safari is retarted) that's a first.

I am 15 btw.

Syncing does take WAY too long. I will watch an hour long tv show and it still won't be done.

Did anyone have any trouble restoring their iPad after ios 5 was installed. It told me that my backup file was corrupt or not compatible.

I did. Just because you are trying to restore the 4.3.3 iPad to a 5.0 backup.

I heard FaceTime is natively-enabled over both 3G and Wi-Fi, is this true?

I don't have 3G nor an iPad 2 so I don't know.

Yes but I would at least think it would restore my pictures, etc and any saved stuff in apps.

There is two steps to the restore though. The initial restore, which installs stuff like mail accounts and other settings like wifi networks. The second step is transferring apps and music and stuff. Since different softwares have different features, newer backups aren't compatible with older softwares. Therefore, iTunes gets weird and wont let you.

Yet another reason why nobody likes iTunes.

Just returning the favor- Even if it's not that long.

Haha, yeah. Looks like the internal spell-check is retarded too- If it wasn't obvious from the huge amount of funny auto-corrects posted online. And yes, I did laugh at the fact that you trimmed my post.

OMG, you're totally younger than me! :O I'm 17 (going on 18), and you're already like ahead of me in ranking! :O ...On second thought, I may be dramatizing- I only joined this year as whereas you joined last year.

Also, how's Raleigh, North Carolina? (NC is North Carolina, right?) It's always a sunny and wet (well right now it's mostly cloudy) 32°C here, that's around 90°F BTW.

Ok I understand. Thanks for the explanation! I sure hope Apple fixes this.....

Regarding the confirmation that the photo app works as I heard, does it work just like the photoalbums+ tweak or better? Moving albums around, renaming them, albums within albums are some features missing from that tweak that I'd hoped to see.

All I can say is it is TOO HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!
93 everyday is too hot.
And I do blow a lot of people away that I am 15 and I am an iPad master.

I didn't play around much with it so idk.

I'm getting my iPad 2 soon. I don't really mind stock iOS (Hey, I dealt with it for almost 2 years!) so should I install iOS 5 beta or leave it on 4.3.3 when I get it. I know a developer as I can ask for help, plus I'm willing to test the features.

You are only 15! Add me to the list of those that are blown away...

Well... There is no jailbreak for iPad 2 so I would go to iOS 5 since there is nothing better about 4.3.3.

I will.
I have always been told I am beyond the expected level of maturity and intelligence for my age.
