I recently upgraded my iPad 2 to IOS 5 and I totally love it!
My top reasons:

Audio button click  to take a photo – much easier to hold the pad steady now.

Notification Center – I have customized my notifications. I miss seeing text messages. Now I am notified twice. My text, missed phone calls, and email display on my lock screen for quick viewing!  I can scroll thru my email messages from my lock screen to see it anything important came in. Little banner alert appear at the top of my screen to let me know what I have missed.

 “Reader” in Safari – look for it at the top of some websites. Tap on it to reduce the clutter for easier reading – especially on small iphone screens.  Tap on the arrow (2nd image) to open screen to add to Reading list for later.

Photostream in iCloud – My photos are uploaded everywhere! They appear on my ipad 2, iphone and desktop PC

The Store – I set the Store settings and now when I download from itunes to my PC, the app appears (wirelessly) in my iphone and ipad (if compatible for both). Got to Settings> Store

**Back up your iPad or iPhone before upgrading to IOS5 – You can not uninstall if you have problems but should be able to revert to prior saved back up.
I upgraded my iPad2 with no problems.

To upgrade – connect to computer with itunes and select upgrade

New reasons to be paranoid about banking online. New Virus may raid your bank account. You can’t just watch it closely though as it will “spoof” your online statement and hide their activity. Read full article  Now first your computer has to be infected with this virus. You should be running a Anti Virus protection program. You should be running a anti malware/spyware program also. A good one that is free is Malware Bytes.

Of course these programs don’t always catch everything. So being a cautious, not complacent online banker I logged in to my account and set up some free alerts. Most major banks now have free alerts where you can be emailed or receive text messages. Decided it would be good to know when my balance drops too low. (Yeah should have done that one before!)  Also set up alerts to notify me if more than $1 is wired anywhere as this not a regular activity! Set up alerts (you decide a good dollar amt for you) if debit card is used, ATM and others. They might spoof your account, but unless they can or take the time to do so, disable your alerts – you will still be warned!
