Are you one of the many millions trying to update right now and can't? Keep getting errors? Yeah... me too, I have top package for internet connection with Comcast and I have had my iPad "updating since around 1pm this afternoon.

I just recently got addicted to my iPad2 and have been home sick all day with nothing to do... Apple is pissing me off.... lol.

No more Iphone.

Got an Iphone 4 last week and I used it for 2 days. Don't really like it.
Got a Droid Bionic instead.

I love my Android phone. I wouldn't get an iPhone unless it was incredibly awesome and was on T-Mobile network. AT&T and Verizon are way too expensive. Tethering and Portable Wifi (Hot Spot) are something I couldn't live with out. In order to do this with any of the other networks they charge you up the ass, while it is free at T-Mobile.

SilentG, I already downloaded it, but it bricked my iPad, I just got back from Best Buy, had to replace it. Seems like it is common from this update.

New iPad is now bricked as well. Getting my money back. This is disgusting.

You can't... it won't even restore, this is incredibly stupid. I have tried that half a dozen times.

I have the orginal Droid Nexus 1. I love it and would not give it up anytime soon.

Plus, one of the few phones that becomes a WiFi hotspot without additional charges.
