In the interests of science I got cyberbrat to install it first on his ipad2 so I could see what it looks like and how it works. I'm glad I did. I think it's horrible as all the pretty icons have changed. It's cleaner and simpler than iOS 6 - it looks very clean and basic but all the functions are there.
Sadly it's not as pretty as 6 and i don't know what to do. Stick to the pretty 6 that I've just fallen in love with or move along Apple's new minimalist path.
Oh dear - decisions, decisions.
Any other iPad and iPhone users out there might want to have a look at this review before deciding on the upgrade

It took a couple of hours to download and install over wifi so make sure you've got plenty of battery life before you start. It's quite a deep change and not just cosmetic but at least it installed and worked fine on cyberbrat's device. I'll probably do it after I've got over the initial shock
