Being a seasoned iOS user (both iPad and iPod), i know the pain of downloading OS updates. <snip> And since iPad ≠iPod, i have to do that twice.
Reportedly, iOS 5 will unite all (eligible) models and end my multi-iDevice download woe.
However...
How many gigs will the Lion download be?
4 gig. "in-place". So i guess it's not a dmg that we can speedily apply to
other Macs in-house.
Each individual Mac will need to do
its own 4-gig download/upgrade.
Folks still running Leopard (who've been holding off on 10.6) will be left out in the cold. They'll need to obtain Snowy first (to get the MAS) in order to move up. I.e., no "direct" Leo->Lion pathway.
Interesting (i guess).
The price is nice: one $30 fee covers all Macs tied to a particular MAS account (user).
