is it valid for ipad as well? What is the use of updating it to 5.0?
Tes - Can you rephrase your question? I have no idea what you are talking about.
Hi,alabama , my quetion is ,I was reading this thread and wondering ,what this update could make a difference to the current state of ipad. http://community.logos.com/forums/t/40635.aspx
Hi Tes,
the coolest ability I've seen with the update is the ability to update your iPad further without having to plug it into a desktop/laptop with iTunes. It gives you more freedom.

is it valid for ipad as well? What is the use of updating it to 5.0? Hi Tes, Yes you can update the iPad 1 and 2. It's very useful, because you can sync or update after this without being connected to the computer just using wi-fi. You should note you will have to redownload your resources within the Logos app when you update to 5.0.1 which is the current release of iOS. You also get multi-tasking gestures...you can have a Bible open in Logos, and then swipe with 4 fingers to another app, say a book open in the Kindle app. Here is how I plan to use these features. I have the New Inductive Bible Study Guide for Galatians/Ephesians in my Kindle app (can't get it on Logos). Once the new highlighting and notes feature come to Logos' iPad app I can read the instructions in the study guide for marking the Bible. I can then swipe to the Bible on Logos and mark up the text. Also keep in mind as your apps are updated for 5.0 they won't work as well on the earlier iOS. So keeping the operating system for your device up to date is a good idea. Blessings, Philana

Thank you Philana may the Lord bless you,I appreciate your help.
Thanks Tes, I know my response was a little long, but thought it would help giving an example of how you could use one of the new features profitably. I think you will like iOS 5.
Alabama let me second Tes' words of appreciation, thank you for the help you give on the Forums. Your approach to pointing people where they can learn for themselves is great. Yes you do have a high post count...but that's a testimony to your willingness to help others!
To answer this question in general terms - the point of keeping all versions of Apple OS's up to date - and moving forward by updating software etc is that Apple seeks to provide a specific working environment. Keeping up with the latest versions means that features and facilities are in sync with the technical support available.
Perhaps more importantly the security of the software will alway be as good as they think it can be. The latest upgrade plugged a security issue on iPad which although relatively hard to find by an individual had recently been exposed on the internet. Apple moved (relatively) quickly to deal with this. By lagging behind with software updates one leaves oneself open to historical vulnerabilities.
