Lengthy iOS 5 upgrade

Good thing I upgraded a 4th gen iPod Touch before something more vital. After backing up the device, the update is installed; and then the restores start. Apps, music and video . . . this is going to take way over an hour. And most of that time is being spent with post-upgrade restores. Time for bed!

I'll bet some of the problems reported with the upgrade have been due to impatience. The screen should not blank out . . . as it does during the lengthy restores. This could easily fool someone that is not paying attention to iTunes status messages; and a premature disconnect would probably result in lost apps and music. Exactly matching many of the problems that I have seen posted over the last 24 hours.
