First impressions: I hate the color scheme, but no complaints regarding functionality.

My impression too.  The flesh-colored background on some of my folders is...odd.

I was worried about how it would behave on my iPhone 4 but other than a bit of lag, all is good so far.

My folder backgrounds are a frosted white glass color. I love the colors and the minimalist approach but yes the functionality is my favorite.

It's not for the PowerBook, only IPhone and IPad.

I like it so far on phones and tablet.  I even like the design.
Don't think twice, it's alright.

I think the "big" changes are under the hood on this one - things like the built-in bricking if lost/stolen and airdrop.  I'm hoping the security stuff will finally push my employer to allowing iPhones for corporate email.  Still trying to get used to the colour scheme by Fisher Price, and the fact that some buttons have been moved for no apparent reason (which is one if my biggest frustrations with anything Microsoft).

I'm going to wait for the chaos to die down before getting a 5s (which is due on my "every other" upgrade timetable).  I'm looking forward to the fingerprint unlocking, but otherwise it's just "time" for me to get a new phone.  The two-year old battery on my 4s is burning pretty fast these days.

I'm going to attempt a 5s purchase this weekend.

Downloaded on my iPad just fine.  I hate the design scheme, everything looks like a cartoon.  It's like going from a PS3 to a Wii.  I haven't been able to tell any difference in functionality yet.
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

The effort of "de-Forstallation" has yielded a more simple look, for sure, but perhaps a little too simple.  Instead of looking too clever by half, it now looks about half as clever.

I do like the multiple pages within folders, though.  Don't know why that took so long.

I enter the AT&T store and tell the "concierge" I want the new iPhone. He says, "We only have a few 64GB in black." I say, "I only want the 64GB in black"

So to use the IOS7 w/ the Mac OS X you have to download a new version of Itunes w/ ITunes radio on it.  It doesn't seem to have a lot of choices, but the jazz station is pretty sweet.

Whenever I try to download it on my ipad it says it can't because I am not connected to the internet despite the fact that I am clearly connected to the internet.

Of course it's now the third time this morning that I've heard Maiden Voyage.  Maybe not a lot of depth to go with the lack of breadth.
