If i buy a brand new iPad how am I supposed to put my 53Gb of apps previously purchased/downloaded from the App Store onto my new device now that I can't use iTunes on my iMac to do this as i have in the past? Am I correct in thinking that I will have to re-download all of them again using my ISP connection?

Before this so called update I was able to FULLY backup and restore using iTunes on my iMac to as many devices as I owned with the internet only being in the loop once no matter how many devices I owned as these were updated using Wi-Fi.

If this is the case then Apple have made a grave error in judgement, because I am sure that there are millions of folks in the world who do not have access to a fast internet connection and most will have download limits too.
