IOS updated itself last night, for the second time since I got the iPad, and the second time in about a month.

And BT just sent me an email saying I've used 28 of my 40gb and do I want to upgrade to a higher capacity account.

Just how often do Apple do this? Is it a regular thing, or have I just been a little unlucky in buying an iPad just before the round of changes?

I haven't updated to iOS6, so I can't speak to that, but my iPad always asks before updating (which is how I've been able to stay with iOS6 for now). Likewise, all my apps wait for me to update them.

My biggest update is a textbook ("Life on Earth" by O.E. Wilson, and worth buying for $1.99) but that only takes 2.5 GB.

My single biggest use at the moment is Flickr, because of the update that uses 20-80 MB per page, so I have to ration my photo browsing. But that's on my desktop computer (which is the same data budget as my wifi iPad).

I figure that sooner or later I will slip and update if I don't do it immediately, so I might as well go with the updates. It helps that I'm not that far from the London Apple store, if something bricks the iPad I know where to go.
