IOS5 has arrived

Early this morning I started to update my Iphone with the newest version of the operating system (IOS5) The risk of be one of the first is that everybody else is thinking the same thing and you end up spending hours downloading and installing because the sheer numbers crash the Apple servers, and that is what happened.

Several aborted attempts later and about 3 hours and I finally ha the shiny new upgrade. I hindsight I should have waited until later in the day but hey I am an early adopter what can I say. Anyway after having an early play I really like the new version especially the new message centre which was really modelled on the Android style.

If you have an Iphone I would highly recommend upgrading to IOS5.

Apple has now released IOS 5.01 this is mainly a bug fix version in particular fixing battery drain problems with the Iphone 4s. Also for us Australians Siri has been fixed to better understand the Australian accent. You no longer need to update your software from Itunes it can now be done via Wifi. I did it last night and it was a painless operation.
