The over the air update worked flawlessly, no problems on the ipad and 4S. Nice to do this without going through the itunes route and big downloads....




The jurys still out on the battery issue at the moment, but what I have noticed is that the APP store downloads are slower (wifi and 3g) with the waiting message staying longer then all of a sudden it appears installed.... strange.....
