The sooner the better! Please let the event be way before October 5th Apple!
I say this because it's usually posted in the 'MacRumors.com News Discussion' forum.
hopefully the GM will finally show us all those hidden features that weren't in previous betas like speech recognition.
Agreed
so excited for IOS 5....That makes having to wait for the 5 less bareable knowing that i can use ios 5 on the 4 until i get the money for the 5.

Basically my thoughts...pretty sure we'll hear a peep out of Apple this week.

I think it's a huge jump to think that a data reset implies that the release date will follow the next day, or even very shortly afterward.
A data reset suggests that Apple is changing something fundamental (e.g. the format), or otherwise fixing something that can't be done without a reset. If I were doing that, I'd want to beta test that for a while (with developers in this case), before going GM with it. The length of that test would depend on how confident I was of it being problem-free, and whether any additional problems/needed changes turn up.
Once it goes GM, the cost of a reset goes way up, both in data transfer and customer confidence. So, they would want to be very confident that they won't need to do that again, at least in the foreseeable future.

If I'm running iWork beta and my documents are already synced with iCloud, will the local documents on my iWork be gone after the wipe? Or will I be able to sync them right back up to the server?
Developers will get it first and then a week or two later everyone else. Apple will need time to approve app updates.
Good thing you just fixed your post. No, it's not available for anyone to download.
Well the files usually find themselves onto the web, but you aren't supposed to download it. From prior GM versions, I've seen people download it without a UDID.

I'm guessing the GM will go live at that time and no betas will be allowed to backup going forward.

Which is correct. But it's not distributed by Apple. That's piracy and violating NDA.
That would be pretty awesome. I cant wait for iOS 5. Did people who downloaded it without a udid have a fully functional phone or did the phone part not work?
