The reason for that is probably technical rather than just Apple wanting to shove newsstand in your face.

Newsstand is really just a special type of folder in the app launching interface (aka Springboard) where the apps (publications) inside it can be subscribed to and update automatically each day.

Since you can't put a folder inside a folder in iOS, and Newsstand is a folder (more or less), it makes sense that you can't put Newsstand in a folder.

You can move it to a folder. The method is to create a folder the usual way by moving one app on top of another one. Then very quickly while this new folder is being created drag Newsstand to this new folder.

That is a bug. You're not supposed to be able to do that, and it actually crashes springboard if you attempt to open it from inside a folder.

Newsstand has been stored safely inside the folder named News on my 4S since the day I received it. There have been no problems.

I'd suggest doing a backup first, and then copying it somewhere else. Directories are listed here.

Same problem for me too. I lost all of my personal settings and apps from my iPad. It took nearly 2 hours to bring all the music, apps, video, pics back over. Then hours of starting each app and putting my passwords and preferences back in.

Ah I see. But since of I no intention of using it, I should be safe.

Does anyone know if it's possible to attach a document or picture to an email? I want to reply to an email on my phone and attach a picture to the reply (so I can't just use the send email feature because that creates a new email).

Hit reply, then switch to the photo app. Copy the picture you want, switch back to mail, and paste it into your reply.

Since upgrading to iOS5 my Sennheiser MM200 Stereo Bluetooth headset no longer controls the volume or song forward/reverse. It picks up the stereo sound, but I have lost all control function. Sucks when I am on the treadmill and want to skip a song.

Anyone have the problem? Any solutions out there?

Have you tried deleting the connection and repairing it?

Just tried that, no change. Still have sound, but no control of volume or song selection. I tried to email Sennheiser on their website, but no response so far.

Any 3GS users happy with IOS 5?
 
I was worried about IOS4 and approached the upgrade to that with great trepidation. Five however strikes me as a bit of an upgrade too far for the 3GS? Of course, I've just gone and bought and iPAD 2 with 5 pre installed so I may be forced to do the upgrade.....
