iOS 5: Quick First Impressions

I managed to download iOS 5 for my iPhone last night without too much trouble. There was a point were it complained that it could not restore the backup, but as it turns out this was due to everyone trying at the same time!

My first impressions are good. I really like the notification centre, it is much better than the previous implementation as the alerts do not get in the way of what you are doing. It also is much more helpful, because you can see your 'alert stream' history.

I'm also impressed with wifi sync and photo stream, but I'd like to use them some more before commenting.

I'm not too fussed on Newsstand. I don't read any 'traditional' publications so I pushed it to the last screen on the phone!

Those are my quick first impressions!
