well that was traumatic.. just had my wife inform me that her new iOS5 upgraded phone has lost the last 2 months of content, photos, videos and contacts..
just spent the last 2 hours getting the fucking thing to restore correctly.
messy.. but fortunately all the data was saved (hundreds of photos and videos of our baby)

@benfal99 once you load a page there's an icon on the URL bar that appears called "Reader", you tap on that and go into reader mode.

The google maps update is sweet. Nice to have several options for directions instead of just one. Where can you see a list of all updates as this one I just came across recently.

mg33,
I'm not sure what you're asking about the calendar....
iCloud is pretty much set up as a caldav account just like gmail. Gmail calendars will sync normally even if you turn off the iCloud caldav account. it's like having multiple email accounts in mail.
you can rename those iCloud calendars in ical as well.
I got rid of my google calendar and transferred over to iCal specifically because the biggest advantage is the ability to now sync reminders...

iCloud tip for everyone:
If you have bookmarks on your phone or ipad that you don't want on your computer, DO NOT SYNC BOOKMARKS. Pain in the ass. I've got stuff that's bookmarked on my phone that I don't want on my computer, and now with those links there the auto-complete url is filled in for nearly everything.
Worse, if you do sync, then turn them off, you might lose everything and can't get back the original set of bookmarks on a device.

One more question: Calendars.
I already have Google Calendar working with the calendars on my iPhone and iPad. On my work computer, Outlook is synced into Google calendar on a one-way sync to it. If I want to do anything to my calendar on my mac, or my PC at work, I just use Google Calendar on the web.
So I set up iCloud on my Mac at home. See my calendars there. So, is all I've gained the ability to manage my calendars in iCal, and it will push out to the calendars on other devices? Because I set up an event using a Google calendar on iCal (my Personal Calendar) and it pushed out to the google calendar website. Waiting for it to push to iPhone.
So my question is kind of this: Can iCal be the vehicle to transfer and manage the Google calendar items, with iCal's calendars (Calendar, Home, Work) inactive?
I know this is confusing. I'm also assuming that if I turn off calendars on iCloud on my iPhone, this shuts the calendar transfer down even if it is entered in iCal on my Mac?
Hopefully someone understands this. Hopefully I've not described how to arm a nuke or anything.

Question - if I have synced Notes on my iPhone to my Mac, where do I find them on my Mac? iTunes always asks about whether they should synch or not, but I never know where they're supposed to be.

not sure if this matters to anyone else but me, but ios5 kills stanza book reader.
considering that i primarily use the phone to read (weird i know) this was a bit of a buzzkill to me...
been demoing new ereaders all day today, and the best one i've found that is almost as good as Stanza is a chinese one called shubook. it has nearly all the same controls and features as stanza did...

- same here - folder for "useless shit"mg33
- you can move the newstand into a folder but you have to be quick. As soon as you create a folder slam it in there.-kappa-

Hourly weather is pretty sweet. Still wrong, but sweet none the less.

Trick to put the Newsstand into a folder, it won't work inside it but you can hide it that way:
