Question: if I take a photo on my camera, will it sync to my wife's iPhone too, and vice versa?
Two iPhones, an iPad, an iMac, MBP and a ATV make up my household. But I don't want all the devices to have the same stuff on them. I don't want songs on my phone when my wife buys some. Hopefully there is some tweaking that can be done with this.

To the people that are paying to get UDID's registered.
You're basically paying for the privilege of having your phone bricked. Apple will cancel those dev accounts, you'll be unable to downgrade. Hope you can live without a phone until 5 is in general release.
As someone stated before, anyone who thinks Apple ISN'T watching for dev accounts which "magically" add a bunch of UDID numbers on the day after a dev release of an OS is deluded.
But for those that are setting up websites or offering on here? With email addresses? Wow. It's your choice, I suppose. But buyer DEFINITELY beware.

Things only sync between devices with the same iCloud account, and you can select what you do and don't want syncing on each device like you can now with MobileMe.

If you have mutilpul calenders can you also select which ones syn to each device? Same with contact groups too?

😱 Get a hold of yourself 🙄
There is no "pirating" of software here (as mentioned in the post above yours), nor will they be canceling accounts and bricking phones.
Apple has bricked exactly one iPhone in public and it wasn't supposed to be there. Where do people come up with these wild definitive statements with no supporting evidence?

Hrmm. So a download from filesonic / rapidshare isn't pirating in your book?
And you're using Google as your definitive source? Wow. Well, at least it's the worst that can happen. It's not like Apple can take you to court for violating your NDA (and fairly blatantly, at that... charging for it? wow)...
Well, at least Apple's not known as being litigious. Oh....yeah.
Go ahead guys, purchase away!

Ok, you PM me the day Apple takes a hundred or so of their developers to court. LOL, honestly people just don't think anymore.

What do you mean, it will work like you have iPhone and iPad. You use same account for both, why would it be different if it's two iPhones?

I bet there were a lot of people saying "PM me when Apple takes a teenager running a cottage industry to court".
But hey, go ahead. It's not like there's any precedent for Apple taking people to court. And it's not like it's totally cut and dry that both the person providing the UDID and the person buying the UDID are in clear violation of the NDA. And nope, Apple has never taken NDA violations seriously.
As I said, buyer beware.

There's precedent for every multi-billion dollar company "taking people to court." What's your point? You might have a comparison here if someone put up a website purporting to be selling iOS5, which they coded themselves by reverse engineering iOS4.
But that's not what we're talking about. If you think Apple is going to start canceling developer accounts, bricking phones (there's a large number of hurdles and ramifications in doing this to a cell phone subscriber as opposed to a kid with your prototype phone) just after announcing to the world their answer to the Android platform and their brand new service because a handful of devs are selling device slots for a couple weeks every 2 years I have many bridges you may be interested in. And bringing in all the devs and the people they sold them to and having the onus of proof on you? What a waste of time for Apple, especially right now.
I'll wager $100 that Apple doesn't crap where it eats against your "You're basically paying for the privilege of having your phone bricked. Apple will cancel those dev accounts".
Edit: I'll wager another $100 the white iPhone kid still has an iTunes account.
I must agree with those that say Apple will do NOTHING.
Why would they? HAMPER DEVELOPERS? CRAZY.
This spreads the iOS around, lets people talk and hype it up, because the general public will not know how to even go about getting a beta.
This is not someone stealing a iphone protoype or selling stolen goods. It is a BETA.

It also provides Apple with volumes more feedback on their beta. But watch out, I hear they're going to start rounding up the jailbreakers and unlockers next! 😱

Fair enough, I'm just really impatient and want all of this iOS 5 goodness on my iPhone, and iPad ASAP! LOL.

Apple did try to shut down jailbreakers. They didn't have a legal leg to stand on there. Here they do.
Are you familiar with the phrase "The customer is always right, but only if it's the right customer"?
In this case, the majority of developers are playing by the rules. Just a few risk-seeking devs and a bunch of fanboys are breaking the NDA. It's actually a smart move by Apple to punish the rulebreakers. If they don't then the people that are playing by the rules have no incentive to keep playing by the rules.
But at the end of it all, we'll see. Maybe Apple won't do anything. But I know of very few real developers that would take that risk.

Just sort of a bummer that the iPhone 4 while still an amazing phone, is nearing the 1 year mark with no successor in sight. Would be a letdown if the next iPhone was only a minor spec bump.

You do understand the differences here don't you? There's a lot of really big, obvious ones. And one made up of hundreds of millions of small ones.
LOL! Swish! $200 on the table. Tick tock.
But what constitutes a real developer? I could understand a company not wanting to give out slots, but an individual developer, and iOS prides themselves on that, should see and have no issue.
But why would an individual developer care if he gave 10 of his buddies a beta. Not selling, I do and can understand the litigation for that, but just providing.

Well, I've been running iOS5 for about 4 hours now. A couple of things I've noticed. It's an extremely stable build, I've had a few hiccups. Battery life is so-so which what I expected with Beta 1. It's actually similar to iOS4 Beta 1 in battery life. My only real question is that is anybody receiving notifications on the lock screen for email? I have my MobileMe account setup and upon receipt of an email it won't show up on the lock screen. Didn't know if this was supposed to happen or not. Really besides that I have no complaints. All my current apps seem to be working, notification center rocks, and twitter integration is flawless. Any questions shoot them my way.
