iOS 4 Initial impressions

So, I just installed iOS 4 on my 32GB 3GS. The download itself took about 3 minutes and then the installation took about 30 minutes. But to be fair, most of the installation was restoring all my data back onto the phone.

I am looking forward to messing around with the new OS and posting more impressions.

What do you guys think of the new OS?

13" MacBook Pro 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.6.4), 32 GB iPhone 3GS; 32 GB iPhone 4 Black (delivers on June 24)

No set up involved. I had three accounts synced to my phone and now I can see them all in one place. Simple.

The only issue I'm having with the new update so far is that the text seems kinda buggy, i.e. when I'm using the messages app or typing this right now. It's slow to respond at times (not too bad though) and, it may just be me, but my punctuation (double space for periods, commas) don't always work when I want them to.
Other than that, I love it.

Multitasking is AWESOME. But as I'm clicking through a bunch of apps, it's clear that a lot of developers have some work to do to get their apps multitasking-compatible! Pandora plays in the background, and is controllable by the universal audio controller -- very sweet!

I love the folders. You can put up to 12 apps per folder.

The wallpaper, I'm less enthusiastic about because it just makes the background busy and the text harder to read. Also, if there's a way to turn off the animation of the icons zooming in from four corners, I'd love to do that; again, it just makes the screen unnecessarily busy when you're trying to focus on it.
