So I just set up iCloud with my iPad 2 and iPhone 3gs. Set everything up to use iCloud for backups and stuff and already I got a message saying I'm using 4.3 gb of my 5gb limit. How is this possible? I thought the 5gb didn't include apps, backups, music, or pictures. I also had photo stream disabled.

Am I missing something or is this just a result of launch day bugs? Is anyone else having this issue?

An iPhone backup should include your entire camera roll.

Also the data of the installed apps are included too. Some apps can have MBs of data that will be backed up. OP can select what Apps backup their data to the cloud. From the iCloud settings then Backup.
