It may be best to hold off on the upgrade until we can see more clearly.

All the errors are related to overloading of the servers. Even the mighty Apple can't cope with millions of simultaneous users trying to download 700MB+ files!
jsh1120 said:No excuse for this fiasco. It's not as if Apple didn't know how many devices they've sold. It's not as if they don't have an email address for virtually every owner of an iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. It's not as if they could not have staged the updates for groups of users over a period of two weeks by enabling specific devices to be updated in an orderly queue. And it's not as if they could not have provided more informative error messages when users encountered problems. Any question about why enterprise level computing is still something Apple does not understand should be put to rest by this ridiculous situation.
I would not recommend this.Yes you are right. Please switch to Android. As fast as you can

What we don't hear about are the tens of millions of people who updated just fine. It's always the noisy minority who capture headlines.
Our Enterprise Support Team has been working with our customers on upgrading since the release was first available and we are seeing less than 1/2 of 1 percent failure rate. Our database shows more than 280,000 customers have upgraded on their own since the release. We will be contacting everyone thru email who has not updated by next week before we publish code that requires iOS 5, but all in all this has been a very smooth upgrade for our customers so far.
Windows updates require nearly 80% hands on support for our staff in comparison, and every single one is a cluster-truck...
So relax. It's not all doom and gloom out there, and as for Enterprise support, the platform is doing just fine.
