iCloud (iPhone + iPad)

All of your devices share the same pool of storage space so if your iPhone is using the 5 GBs, your iPad won't have any to use.
But you don't. Your Apple ID and iCloud account can use the same email address. You don't have to have 2 different ones.It still REALLY irritates me that I have one user id (tpr007) for my iTunes account, and needed to create a new one for iCloud. It's so disjointed :

As far as I'm aware, you have to use an email address as your ID for iCloud.
My apple ID, which I've used to buy lots of apps with, is just a one word username.

You probably have some VERY bloated apps saving data to iCloud that don't need to be. You can individually manage these in your iCloud settings. I had at least one magazine app inexplicably saving EVERY issue to iCloud, so I shut that one out. By default, I turn off iCloud for any app that I don't explicitly want sharing data between devices.
My wife and I have two iPhones and two iPads all sharing ONE iCloud account, and we haven't come close to maxing out the free 5GB yet.

I think you have to convert the old style of apple id (one word username) to your email address before it will work.
I had to do so in order to use Find My iPhone a while back (before iCloud)
Totally sucks. It should be 5gb per device. Someone who owns an 64gb iPad and a 32gb iPhone have as much storage as somebody with one 8gb iPod Touch. I can only use iCloud for one of my two devices which sucks because it is more convenient than plugging into your computer.
When I originally logged in with my username it told me I needed to use an email address, but it just created a new account and didn't merge my old one. Sucks.

You can buy some more, for apple, the pricing is pretty cheap.
