[Mike Cruz]

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.

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.
