Heres a thought.
Do you need a wireless router to sync wirelessly to your iMac or does it use the same technology for Airdrop to sync and create its own wireless connection?
Anyone know?

They said that with iCloud and the untethered iPhone that updates would happen over the air. I think it reuses whatever Wireless connection you have to download the delta difference between your current version and the target version you are upgrading to. This one was 144 MB and I'm real sure it did not use my Cellular network to download it but the available WiFi network at the location.
I think there was a techcrunch post about how apple should disable anyone with a beta OS to be able to rate apps in the app store.
Seriously.
That makes the most sense, they don't want another complete network shutdown the way it happened before on release day/weekend ...
HAHAHA. Same way your body weighs 28 grams less when you die, because that's how much your soul ways
.b5 killed my photos and roll too, good to know they fixed that in this one.
Yeah as people said after this, if you can sit there and watch the %s go down constantly you can pretty quickly tell if it's going to have a horrible life (or if too many processes are running).A little quick on the battery test, don't you think? I mean, it's been like 30 minutes.
Happened to me on b3 as well after a few days.
did on b5, haven't put b6 on yet.
iTunes error 1660 when syncing iPad 2 GSM
Hey All
Is anyone else getting an "an unknown error has occurred (1660)" popping up in iTunes when syncing any devices on iOS 5.0 Beta 6?
I am getting it on my iPad 2 GSM but not my iPhone 4 GSM.
I have tried restarting the iPad and now I have DFU Updated the iPad and am restoring, however the error recurred when it restarted after the restore from backup. I will try setting up as a new iPad and also try restarting my machine later on to test.
Also my iPhone 4 is giving me the locked with a passcode error every time I connect it locked with the latest iTunes beta with the phone locked though before I updated it would work fine.
Regards
Alexander

Ota woot!!!
Over the air updates are sweet!!!! This will be great for the cell phone carriers as well because it will make it easy for anti-geeks to update!!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
I've yet to install iOS 5 b6 so I'm not sure what the new one sounds like. Hopefully its not worse
Mine did the same thing. I'm downloading for the hell of it. Time to be a guinea pig...
edit: It's actually beta6. So weird! Verified version 9A5302b
MUCH snappier!

I was able to update my iPhone via OTA but the update won't show up in the software update on my iPad.
You could retrieve the sound file for the tweet from the previous beta and install it as a custom tone.
Ah, thanks.
Common sense will tell you that throwing an object doesn't make it heavier, but physics disagrees.
No USB Hotspot
This may already have been noted, but I can no longer use my hotspot via USB. I can, however, now use wi-fi hotspot. Bluetooth has always worked.

Thats because you had to clear all your settings and data from the phone first before beta 5 was available for OTA
Downloaded the OTA update, it finished downloading, says downloaded, but the button to "Install Now" is greyed out and unclickable.
My iCloud says "iPhone is being restored, cannot back up to iCloud" so I did what someone suggested, deleted the account and readded it. Now the iCloud Backup is grayed out and I can't turn it on or backup.
Now what?
Me too
For those of us not-yet-iOS-developers, what does the new one sound like?
