Talking about bad timing, I woke up for nature's call at 4.30 am this morning. After doing the business, I realised that iOS 5 was being released this morning. So I quickly looked for it.
Before long, I was already started downloading. The 770Mb file would take about 3 hours. So I went back to bed. The file was finally downloaded just after 7am. Unfortunately it was time to head for work.
I persevered and synced the phone. Five minutes later, an error message. Apparently it was recommended that you reload the iTunes before the update. Well, I rushed to work instead then. The update would have to wait.
