iOS OTA and Wireless is all good. Do we still have an option to use the cables?

For all the things that wireless and OTA will replace in iOS 5.

Don't ask me why I would want to do that please.
 
Without even having to check I am 99.9% sure the answer would be yes you can still use cables.

I can think of some reasons why you would want to, no need to pre-empt abuse! A few people don't have wifi at home (my old uni didn't allow wifi, only ethernet), if you are travelling and don't have wifi signal.

Thanks for the response. I was assuming the same but was just wondering if it is explicitly stated for iOS 5.

I can't find it in black and white, but information will develop as iOS 5 matures and developers play with it more. For now, all I can say is that Apple's site says there is no need for a PC, which I'd say means wireless is an option not a requirement, but that is tentative at best!
 
I remember reading somewhere on this site that the Wireless Sync isn't active yet. So you still have to 'tether' to sync.
