  5) IOS4 vs IOS5. Come on Apple, I am begging you to not
  turn IOS into the next Internet Explorer.

They've guaranteed this by refusing to support iOS 5 on older devices like iPhone 3 and iPod Touch 3.

I used iOS 4.2 on a 3G for a long time; it was an awful experience. iOS 5 isn't supported on that hardware for a reason.

The experience of iOS 5 on iPhone 4 is pretty shitty so say the least until I figured out the culprit is iCloud. Some symptoms with iCloud enabled, include but not limited to, random screen freezes, random login freezes, and application switching freezes. Just lots of freezes thanks to iCloud
