iOS 5 Beta Thoughts

[graywolf]

I've across 4 games now that do not seem to be working in IOS 5

Slice HD Sad cause it's my favorite game to play as a group
Dead space
Tiger woods 12
UNO hd

I had a lot of crashes too.
I downgraded to 4.3.3.

I'm thinking about it too but I really like the split keyboard and safari tabs...... Hmmmmm. Decisions decisions


And the new notifications too

Me too. I just can't live without being jailbroken.

I lost my jb months ago when I went to an iPad 2. The biggest thing I miss is sbsettings. If they can add something similar to the new notification curtain it would be golden and I would have no need to jb anymore

So that settles it... I'll upgrade to iOS 5. Maybe.

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.

Yes you do. But truthfully the weather's here really nice at 90+. Especially in the evenings when the sun's orange in color. It's not that hot.

I lived in KL when I was a teenager. You get used to the humidity after a few months and then the heat is GREAT! Mind you it is 6C this morning

A word of warning to anyone thinking of trying out the iOS 5 beta. Make sure you get it from a trusted source. Otherwise you are just inviting trouble! Also you cannot be sure you have got the latest beta and so will be very likely to have a poor experience - beta releases should be feature complete but will still be buggy!

As an aside we are desperately trying to get our latest release (enterprise software not iPad or PC) stable for a release date which is now only two weeks away! Late nights are in store!

I'm running ios5 beta (I'm a developer) on an ipad2 and an iPhone4, but so far I've been unable to get certain apps to connect with iCloud. I have a MobileMe account and it says under the settings menu that the ID has been configured as an iCloud account, yet apps like Reminders is not sending info back up to the cloud and back down to the other iOS device. Any thoughts?

Apple probably hasn't worked out all of the bugs yet, or hasn't turned that feature on since reminders is an iOS 5 feature.

So far, it's really like I'm only using MobileMe as apps like Pages & Numbers are not sharing docs and Newsstand allows no access to the store to try it out. That said, everything else is working with many new features. Really nice on the iPad.

Apple hasn't turned icloud on yet, nobody can connect. I created an account but it does nothing.

Mine works great. Haven't had any issues other than I cloud not working. Gestures work fine also. I'm really loving the split keyboard. Anyone try imessage. I don't know anyone else on ios5.
