Ok, I took the plunge!! It was only 14 minutes and now my iPad is syncing!!

Extracting software now-iPad just shut off. Almost home. "iTunes is preparing to restore on this iPad."
 
If anyone struggles getting iTunes to complete the download, consider downloading the file directly to your desktop from our thread here - http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-hacking/24939-official-apple-ios-firmware-download-links-ipad.html

Then, once it is downloaded, shift-click (windows) or option-click (OSX) the restore button in iTunes and it will let you select the file you just downloaded.

iTunes can time out, particularly when the whole world is trying to install IOS5 at once!
 
It only took me about 10 minutes to do it all.

All my apps are gone though? Do I have install everyone again??

Please help.

Thanks
 
I think my major problem is because I have f*ing Vista. Third attempt, it's at 41 minutes remaining. I pray to God it works this time.
