From those Mac fanatic's perspective, my current Apple ecosystem is probably the hippest: I have a iPad 2 3G with iOS 5 installed and I have a MacMini running the MacOSX Lion Preview 4 and the latest XCode installed for development for iOS5. But then, you can also think of it as living among time bomb with bucks waiting to blow up any given time.
It took me 2 hours just to set up all the accounts on all the apps i need to use on my iPad. So far the effort is worthy.
So far I enjoy iOS 5. The new notification system is definitely essential from now forward. In fact, just by using it for a day, I don't know how I can live without it anymore.
The machine is definitely faster compare with my old iPad 1. Now longer do like feel like things are lagging or always have than 1 to 2 seconds of waiting. When I press a soft button on screen, it recognized my tap and does thing for me right a way. It's a joyful experience.
Since it's a developer preview of the OS, I had problem authorize and set up the machine right out of the box. I had to wait until I got home and setup everything with XCode before I could use it. The online activation didn't work ... yet. I don't think the activation server for iOS5 is even up and running, but hopefully the out of the box setup experience will really be PC Free once they release the final version this fall.
Here's the downside: the iOS5 beta is REALLY in beta. I have found the machine crashed and hanged up a few times just this morning. I'll continue document this funky journey.
