It's nice to download a new version of any software and find that it gives you not only more features, but a performance and battery bump. Definitely not the way things normally go. Usually it's just more bloat. I downloaded iOS 7 on my iPhone 4 and it turned it in to a pile of poop. Not a huge deal as I'm grabbing a new phone in a week, but they really pushed it by "supporting" that device. They were kind of screwed though regarding how far back they could support old devices with iOS 7 being such a major overhaul and riding on the back of the largest processor performance jump in years (the A7 chip in the new phones and tablets).

Speaking of tablets, T-Mobile is doing a crazy thing. They will be carrying the new iPads, and if you buy one with a 3G antenna from them, they have a 200MB/month data plan absolutely free, and it is for as long as you own that iPad forever, whether you are a T-Mobile customer or not. Freakin crazy. We had just made the decision to switch to T-Mobile because of their ridiculously competitive pricing and the fact that you aren't locked into a contract if it sucks, then they bust this out. I feel like they are the only carrier out there competing.
