<div> </div>
<div> I updated my iPhone<a></a> 4 to iOS<a></a> 5 today. It did take quite a bit of time, with a restore to factory settings, then a restore to backup (last week's sync). After all of that, the update was successful and I have seen no issues with the device.
It did take longer than expected, but went fine. All mail/calendar working correctly, all settings/apps/ music/photos, etc. present with no problems.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Just as one more data point, my attempted update of an iPhone 3GS to iOS 5 today failed twice, before fatally failing a third time. It eventually required
restoring my iPhone to factory defaults. My theory is that the Apple servers were overloaded and unable to adequately respond to the verification request during upgrade causing my initial 2 failures. Not sure what happened on the third time.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Good afternoon everyone,</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Apple has released iOS 5 today, available as a free download via iTunes for a selection of iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch models. iOS 5 incorporates a variety of new features, including an updated notification system,<span class="apple-style-span"> wireless
setup and backup capabilities, Exchange task-syncing using a new app called Reminders, Twitter integration, new camera and photo-editing features, and more. For more information, I recommend visiting <a href="http://www.apple.com/ios/" target="_blank">http://www.apple.com/ios/</a></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Although iOS 5 has been tested by the Mobile Devices Team and many IS&T-supported features, such as Exchange and IMAP support, work as expected in the new OS, we are not yet announcing support for iOS 5 and instead
<b>we currently recommend that users wait to upgrade</b> to the new OS. The only obstacle remaining at this point is that the IS&T certificate renewal page does not yet support iOS 5. However, once this page has been updated, we will be able to send out another
announcement concerning full IS&T support.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">iOS 5 is compatible with the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, 3rd and 4th generation iPod touch, and both the iPad and the iPad 2. Additionally, iOS 5 will be included on the iPhone 4S once it becomes available this Friday.</p>
</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Documentation specific to iOS devices can be found in the Hermes knowledge base on the <a href="http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/x/ZQdS" target="_blank">iPhone</a> and <a href="http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/x/g4Rh" target="_blank">iPad</a> sections
