Ok all you need to do is just plug in your iPad & sync as normal, make sure you transfer any new purchases first, then just do backup.....only then are you ready to do the OS5 update.......also to stop any confusion there is No iPhone 5 yet, but there will be a iPhone 4S with which I am happy to report I have got mine pre ordered

Thanks for the information 88raymond. I'm an iPad1 user and looking forward to upgrading to iOS5 but need clarification on a specific condition. You state "iPad1 users don't have a problem in terms of trying out 5.0 and downgrading back to 4.3.3 (or 4.3.5) provided they have saved SHSH Blobs" - please let me (an other "non-techie" people) what are SHSH Blobs. I together with other members look forward to your response.
BTW - have a great (Canadian) Thanksgiving and (US) Columbus Day

i'm just a messenger, lol!
i'd like to send you the link on "shsh blobs" and "tiny umbrella" - to expand your knowledge - but i don't know how to do it with just this ipf app (which i'm using with my ipad2)
it would be more apt if a moderator could come in and answer your query.
best regards!

Please see this most excellently written sticky for an understanding of SHSH blobs: http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-hacking/24323-shsh-blobs-frequently-asked-questions-updated.html
There's a lot of information here on the forum - using the search button (hint hint - it' in the upper right corner of the site) helps find that info.

I read an article on Zite identifying when iOS5 would be released and sue enough iOS5 became available shortly after 1:00PM EST here in Ottawa (Canada). It took three attempts to install it and according to Apple Support who advised this was due to extremely large amount of users attempting to d/l all at the same time. My fourth attempt was successfull. In all, it took just over an hour to install - have been busy reading about the 200+ new options.

I too have an IPad1 16BG and am looking at the IOS5 update. Does anyone know if the new OS takes up LOTS more of our memory? I've got 10GB free (I'm not a "power user" I guess) but I don't what to use up too much with the new OS.
Thanks

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is DFU mode? I have iPad 2, 32 wifi only. Thank you.
