The latest version of iOS 5 seeded to developers can be installed by anyone without the need for a registered UDID; however, BigBoss is strongly warning that non-developers do not install the GM Seed.
Here are his reasons:
1) iOS5 GM Seed will expire and once jailbroken you will not be able to use over-the-air updates and get to iOS 5 Final.
2) Official release is in just seven days.
3) Important tweaks such as activator are not ready or not released yet.
4) It's current a tethered jailbreak for all but the old bootrom 3gs.
5) iPad 2 owners cannot jailbreak.
6) Many internal changes will affect the functionality of your current tweaks.
7) No hactivation.

So it looks like none of those apply to people who have given up on bothering to jailbreak, thankfully.
Gotta say, after installing 5 on my iPad 1 last night, it's like a breath of fresh air into the device. I was gonna sell it a couple weeks ago, glad I didn't bother. The additional features make it like a different device, versus the iPhone where it just makes it better.
To to clarify if you are not concerned with jailbreaking at all installing this GM seed of iOS5 will not harm my device? I can be patient until next week if need be. Is the GM of 5 the final version that we will get, as consumers, next week on the 12th? Thanks!
Tom, Elaberate on Whats new in the iPad over the iPhone?... Myself will Wait also as I Jailbreak jsut to customize the Iterface some and tinker. But if there is something fro the iPad (for the same reason as you) I'd like to hear. I was thinking of a iPad2 myself, but want it jailbroken...
