Tabbed browser, iMessages, instant access from the lock screen to specific apps, splitting the keyboard on the iPad, the whole thing looks very, very cool.

Installed it this morning on my iPhone. So far, I like it a lot. It really does seem like they went out of their way to eliminate every gripe that most people had with this version.
Notifications are SO much better now (tip of the hat to Android).
iMessages sounds really cool, but I haven't been able to test it yet because I don't know anyone else who has iOS 5 installed.
iCloud in iOS 5 looks amazing. I plugged in my iTunes Account information and set up iCloud. It syncs calendars, contacts, bookmarks, reminders, photos, etc. Haven't tried it yet, but can't wait to try backing up my phone to the cloud.
What I did think was strange was that my iTunes account is my Gmail address. Under the iCloud settings, there was an option to turn on "Mail". I turned it on, and it let me create a new "@me.com" email address. Almost sort of like now I can sign in to iTunes using my Gmail account or my new me.com email address.
