OS7 for the ipad... I'm always late to the party

I haven't upgraded yet, I was a little scared of the vertigo thing with the graphics on the upgrade. But I looked at one in the store and it doesn't seem too bad so now I'm reconsidering.

Is everyone happy with the upgrade? After using it for awhile, what do you like / not like about it?

The whole photo sorting thing is fucked up on the iPhone now, probably same for iPad, though I haven't checked mine.

I'm livid.

I've rarely taken a picture with the ipad. But I do hate it when they take something good away in an "upgrade".

I'm not wild about the photo thing, but then I only use it to take photos of the cats or send clients quick photos of projects.

I do like the way apps close.

But the graphics take a few hours of usage to grasp.

If you are not on too old of an iPad, you might as well upgrade iOS, because app upgrades are already starting to ignore iOS 6.

My wife cut off the motion graphics.

I'm getting tired of seeing all the app updates that are only meant for the new one.

Its ok, but my macbook is old and the upgraded ipad could no longer "talk" to itunes and I couldn't move files around. So then I had to take the computer in and get it tuned up and upgraded to Snow Leopard. I must say, the computer sure is working better though. They said it should be good for another couple of years like this.
