It will be interesting to see the initial conversion rate to iOS 7
 
My iPhone had the error a couple of times but it's now on "preparing update". My iPad, however, is on 5 hours remaining. I started them at the same time. Urgh.

I was just waiting for iTunes 11.1 for Windows anyway before I installed the GM. Looks like just installing the GM is the way to go if you want it ASAP.
 
the servers should be able to hold the traffic this early into the game.

When 10s of millions are hitting the servers...it has nothing to do with them...it has to do with the pipes going in and out and those roads are bumper to bumper.
 
Tokyo is a no go

It is 2 am on sept 19th here in Tokyo, I upgraded to 10.8.5 and iTunes 11.1 but my iPhone and iPad Mini are still saying there is no update for me. Darn!

and the usual bs has already started....

Software Update Failed

An error occurred downloading IOS 7.0.

#FAIL
 
Just locate GM version on the internet and restore or update, instead of waiting for 4 hours to download from apple servers.


Just a tip.
