So, I thought we could use a thread for this.  I really hadn't had time to look at all the new stuff yet.  Partly since I don't have an iPhone, I didn't think it would change a lot on the iPad - but I guess it does.  Anyway, post your comments and thoughts here.

So, first question....

Does iCloud have any type of storage limit and is it automatic?

5 GB for free, however that doesn't apply to anything purchased via iTunes.

QuoteFree gets you a lot.

When you sign up for iCloud, you automatically get 5GB of free storage. And that's plenty of room, because of the way iCloud stores your content. Your purchased music, apps, books, and TV shows, as well as your Photo Stream, don't count against your free storage. Since your mail, documents, Camera Roll, account information, settings, and other app data don't use as much space, you'll find that 5GB goes a long way. And if you need more storage, you can easily purchase a storage upgrade right from your device.

It has 5GB that you can use, I do not know anything more than that since iCloud is still unavailable for another hour.  If by automatic you mean it pushes stuff to your devices, then yes. 
Backups are also automatic on a minimum daily basis when charging, but still unsure.

Argh, Billybob nijad me.

Personally, looking forward to:

Notification center and the improvements here.
Twitter integration.
and the cloud & wireless sync. 

The rest of course should be great, but those three features are what I reallllllly want.

King, what do you mean another hour? Is iCloud coming today? How about iOS5?

From what I've heard its supposed to be out at 10:00am PST.  iCloud is technically available now, (you can go to icloud.com) but you need iOS5 or Mac OSX Lion in order to use it.

Cool. But now I have to wait until 5:00 to get it. :(

Hmm appears some folks online are encountering upgrade errors on both iPhones and iPads, I think I'll be holding off for a few days.

Yeah, I'm getting nowhere fast.

The notifications are really all that I'm interested in although I guess I'll benefit passively from the backups etc.

I know it's unnusual here but I don't have a podcast of my own.

I got my iPad on iOS5, but having some issues with iCloud so clearly Apple is having some issues.
