iOS 5 Beta Available for Devs, First Hands On, and Gallery

So far, the beta is working OK on my 3GS 16GB...
Things I've noticed:
1) The iPod App has been split into 'Music' and 'Videos' on the iPhone too (as in iPod Touch/iPad).
2) You can't "en-folder" the newsstand app. Certainly the publishers lobbied for this!

It's disabled in beta 1. Read the details of the release in the dev center for known problems and bugs with this release. It would answer a lot of questions that people are posting.
I once downgraded the first beta of iOS 4 back to 3.1.3.
I was developing and needed a "current OS".
I remember doing some shady stuff with something I downloaded from the internet. Worked fine without jailbreaking. Can't remember the details though.
And if anyone does that, please be sure to return the courtesy of actually testing and reporting detailed and honest feedback. Don't just glom on get something for nothing.
Last time I checked, people were selling developer-registered UDID slots at 9to5mac. (for non-devs wanting to install the beta)
If you charge $5 for each slot, (you get 100/year with the program) and you manage to sell them all, it's $400 profit without having to code a single line of Objective-C!
I don't know what happens if you only have iTunes installed (not Xcode), but when I double clicked the installer Xcode launched. You can manage the disk images/devices from the Organizer window.
Xcode or iTunes?
Can somebody help me, do you use iTunes or Xcode to update to iOS 5?
Thanks
Gus

Hi, does anyone observe multitouch gestures?

How to copy data from MobileMe to iCloud iOS 5, OS X Lion, Windows Vista, and Windows 7
Contents
Introduction
Copying data to iCloud on iOS 5
Copying data to iCloud on OS X Lion Copying data to iCloud on Windows
Introduction
This document offers instructions on how MobileMe users can copy data from an existing MobileMe account to an iCloud account. If you experience any bugs while you are migrating your data, please file a bug report using the Apple Bug Reporter.
Important note for Shared Calendars: Calendar sharing requires an iCloud account for all users. If you manually move your data to iCloud, you must re-share any calendars. (Calendars you share in MobileMe will be unaffected when you manually copy your data.)
Copying data to iCloud on iOS 5
Before you begin, itʼs important to make sure your iOS device is updated to iOS 5 beta, and your MobileMe account is configured and currently syncing your contacts, calendars, and bookmarks. You will need to keep this data locally and then upload it to iCloud. The data in your MobileMe account will not be affected by these steps.
Step 1: Download calendar data older than one month (optional).
By default, your iOS device stores one month of historical calendar data. If you want to migrate calendar data older than one month to iCloud, follow these instructions. If you donʼt need to move your older data, skip to Step 2.
Begin by connecting to a Wi-Fi network (using Wi-Fi is recommended). Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, then scroll down to the bottom and tap Sync
Choose how much of your calendar history you would like to download and transfer to iCloud.
Open the Calendar app. You will see a status wheel in the status bar. Wait until the wheel disappears, this indicates that all your data is on the device. It may take several minutes for this process to complete depending on how much calendar history you have.
Verify that all your calendar data is now on your iOS device.
Step 2: Turn off MobileMe sync and keep data locally on your iOS device
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars
Select the MobileMe Account.
Turn off each of the following one by one: Contacts, Calendar, Bookmarks, and Find My iPhone. Mail and Notes can remain enabled on your iOS device.
When prompted to do so, choose to keep the data on your device.
Step 3: Setup iCloud Account
Tap Settings > iCloud
Sign in with an Apple ID. You can use any Apple ID you already have so long as it is a full email address and isnʼt a MobileMe account. If you already have an iTunes Store account or a free Find My iPhone account, you can use that Apple ID as your iCloud account. Or you can click Create Apple ID to create a new one.
Follow the onscreen instructions to finish creating your iCloud account, and then enable the services you wish to use with iCloud. The data you kept locally in the previous step will be merged with any data already on the iCloud servers.
Go back to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars then scroll down to the bottom. Tap Sync and change your calendar history setting back to 1 month for better performance.
Troubleshooting Tip: If you see duplicate events after the first upload, check Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and remove any manually entered CalDAV accounts that have cal.me.com as the server.
Copying data to iCloud on OS X Lion
Before you begin, you will need to install the latest version of Mac OS X Lion Developer Preview, and install the iCloud for OS X Lion. Make sure that your MobileMe account is configured and currently syncing your contacts, calendars, and bookmarks. You will need to keep this data locally and then upload it to iCloud. The data in your MobileMe account will not be affected by these steps.
If you wish to test Photo Stream, you must install iPhoto 9.2 beta. You will need to export your photos, reinstall Mac OS X Lion Developer and iPhoto, and then import your photos.
IMPORTANT: The iPhoto update will replace your current version of iPhoto. Your existing iPhoto Library will not open with this version of iPhoto. For this reason it is strongly recommended that you work on a test/development system only when using this release. You will not be able to revert the system to an earlier version of iPhoto without doing a clean install of Mac OS X and reinstalling iPhoto either from your original installation DVD or by downloading from the Mac App Store.
Step 1: Turn off MobileMe Bookmarks, Contacts, and Back to My Mac.
In Lion, Open System Preferences.
Click MobileMe, and sign out of MobileMe. Your bookmarks and contacts will automatically be saved locally.
Note: You may use OS X Mail with both iCloud and MobileMe accounts at the same time.
Step 2: Export your calendars (skip to step 3 if youʼve already transferred your data to iCloud from your iOS device).
Launch iCal, click the Calendars button, and select a calendar. In the File menu choose Export > and save the file. Repeat these steps for each calendar you have.
Step 3: Remove your MobileMe account from iCal.
Open iCal Preferences. Click Accounts, and select the MobileMe Account Click (minus button), and click OK.
If you exported iCal calendars in Step 2, double-click each saved file and choose "New Calendar" from the drop down menu to import them to On My Mac before you sign in with iCloud.
Step 4: Sign in with your iCloud Account
Open System Preferences.
Click Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then click Add account.
Select iCloud and sign in with the same Apple ID you used on your iOS device. If you did not start with your iOS device, you can use any Apple ID you already have so long as it is a full email address and isnʼt a MobileMe account. If you already have an iTunes Store account or a free Find My iPhone account, you can use that Apple ID as your iCloud account. Or you can click Create Apple ID to create a new one.
Follow the onscreen instructions and then enable the services you wish to use with iCloud.
Copying data to iCloud on Windows
Before you begin install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows, the iTunes 10.5 Seed, and the Safari 5.1 Seed if you are running Windows Vista or Windows 7.
Note: iCloud Calendar and Contacts require Microsoft Outlook 2007 or 2010.
Step 1: Save Calendars locally (skip to step 2 if youʼve already transferred your data to iCloud from your iOS device or Mac).
Open Outlook Make sure only the first of your MobileMe calendars is checked in the Calendar list.
Choose File > Save As. Adjust the save settings to include the whole calendar (this will vary depending on your version of Outlook), and save the calendar on your computer. Repeat steps 2-3 for every other calendar you want to save.
Open the MobileMe Control Panel and disable the Calendar checkbox.
Return to Outlook.
Choose File > Open and select your saved Calendar file to import them as a local calendar. Repeat for each calendar you saved in step 3.
Step 2: Sign out of the MobileMe Control Panel
Open the MobileMe Control Panel and sign out.
Step 3: Sign in with your iCloud Account
Open the iCloud Control Panel. Sign in with the iCloud account you created from either an iOS device or Mac running OS X Lion.
Follow the onscreen instructions to finish signing into your account, and then enable the services you wish to use with iCloud.
Im sorry my Sheople translator is broken, all I read was Bah Bah Bah...
BTW, the OP was correct in everything he was saying.

Worked for me without having to reactivate in Xcode.
So from casual use of the phone so far with iOS5(iphone4) I see that.mostly reiterating stuff stated before. And i never got to 4.3.3 i was about two versions earlier. so maybe some stuff is new to me.
Messages locks up when accessing them from the lockscreen.
Message sending bar animation will not display when sending a message after accessing it from the lock screen.
No weather on the lock screen.
Newsstand cannot be placed in a folder. YUCK.
Apps now say "Install" in app store if you previously purchased them. I do not remember it being like that. but i never upgraded to 4.3.3 so I do not know.
new ipod icon.
EDIT: You CAN delete stocks from notifications. I think this is a no brainer.
Icloud settings seem...a bit.. laggy.
icloud new .ME email not working.
I went from 100% at 11AM EST to 74% at 1:45PM EST. with regular use. Screen on full bright. no push email except icloud which doesnt work.
Weather now updates by your location. Pretty cool. plus you can add specific locations.
Notifications let you choose if you want a pop up or dash bar or nothing at all. Which is cool.
some were probably stated over and over gain. sorry. just thought i'd share.

My name is Campbell and I am actually a human being that does not like being referred to as the Other Person.
You have not personally done anything wrong, I figured that I would mention it because I see that the majority of people on the internet refer to Human Beings as inanimate objects when they use the term OP so freely vs taking the time to acknowledge that the OP is a actual person not a fictitious entity. Personally speaking I think its wrong that people do this by removing the barrier which de-souls a person on the internet.
Just thought I would mention it, once again you did not do anything wrong. I think you and I are operating on the same wave length so I would imagine that you understand the point I am trying to convey.
I'd hardly call that "ruining."
That's the reason beta releases are only seeded to "developers." It's another reason you're instructed to not install said betas on production devices that require stability.
Precisely, absolutely right.
As a developer, we have units that are dedicated to development. (Amazing concept, I know.) We would NEVER install a dev beta OS on any OSX/iOS device, period.
I am amazed by people caught up in the frenzy who blindly pay $99 just to have an unfinished, in-testing OS to install on their every day equipment. And then complain when this or that doesn't work. You'd be amazed at the number of people (kids, no doubt) sending me PMs, wanting me to piggyback their unit on to my account. For free, At not cost or obligation to them. Not offering anything for the simple favor.
Yes indeed, I agree with all you have said and that is true in every one of those instances.
The point I make is that why is it that no one questions the possible underlying motives behind these convenient technologies that we have lately?
The fact that it is that easy as you have pointed out is exactly the point that I was making. Who regulates our Government? Certainly not the Citizens of the United States these days that for sure.....Case in Point Old Boy!
I am learning to develop for iOS and Android devices during my university games development course as a student.
I can't afford multiple devices for pleasure and work. I have my iphone and my ipad. My ipad was the guinea pig.
I'm not blaming anybody or anything. I appreciate it's a beta and that there will be bugs, just perhaps wasn't expecting one this big. It's not a huge problem. I don't use my iPad too much for pleasure, maybe only once a week. I can turn it on if i need it anyway.
kman... As was said, your unit isn't toast. All I can suggest (and maybe you've done this), is to first check that you in fact have the correct beta for the iPad 2. Then, reinstall the software/firmware and be certain you follow the directions. If this fails, you have no choice but to wait until the final release later this summer.
Good luck.
