iOS 5 is a great update IMHO.
Lots of great new features I'm sure most of us who read these forums already know about. The surprise sleeper of a hit for me has to me Reader. It transforms reading news and articles on my iPhone 4 from good in a pinch when I'm away from my other devices, to an absolutely amazing experience. I love how apple can use, what most consider on the small size these days, a 3.5" display and make it perfectly usable.
I was on the side of people wanting a larger screen on my phone. Part of me still thinks it would be nice to have a bigger screen in the future but Apple has done a stand up job of using what they have and making it a joy to use and read on.
Yes, I'm kinda a fan boy of Apple. But I was so truly amazed by Reader I wanted to share. If you haven't yet check it out for yourself and let me know if you agree.
 
I agree reader is great. For those articles you just want to get all the distractions out of the way. I also still use Instapaper, but I use it for those articles that I want to hold onto, tips & tricks type articles, how-to's etc. I also use reading list for those one hit articles also if I can't get to it right away.
