2. Does anyone know what is needed to be able to use iMessage on a WIFI ipad 2. Reading the web seems to indicate it will be linked to your Apple ID. I share my apple ID with my wife so we can share apps etc... we purchase. Can we set up a new appleID for iMessage to keep them separate?
3. How will other iOS5 users contact me by iMessage? By phone number for iPhone4 and appleID for ipad? How will they sync accross?
4.Will I be able to SMS non iOS5 users from my iPad? As I understand it iMessage is iOS5 to iOS5 (Like BBM) so I guess the answer will be no but not sure. I don't think non iMessage message will sync from my iphone$ to my iPad2

1: You can setup iCloud with any Apple ID, only @me will have email though. You can enable the other iCloud features on any ID though. (photo etc)
2: iMessage will be linked to your number/email. Like FaceTime, you can add extra addresses that iMessage can use.
3) If you use ios5 anyone that also uses iOS 5 will automatically iMessage you instead of SMS if they have your phone #. This can be enabled/disabled. They can also iMessage your email.
4) No. Cant SMS from your iPad. Can only message iMessagers. Only iMessage will sync, not SMS.
