Before you dive in, here are a few things you should do with your new iDevice first:

• Update to the Lastest Version of iOS - There's a decent chance your new iDevice isn't running the latest version of iOS, even if it's just a very minor upgrade that's necessary. Before you sync for the first time, check for updates in iTunes or in your iDevice's Settings app, if your device is running iOS 5. If there's an update available, iTunes (or your phone) should tell you automatically but it's always good to double check.
• Get to Know iOS 5 - Once you've updated, you ought to know what you're in for. We can teach you everything you need to know about iOS 5 in 7 minutes. If you want to go more in-depth, you can learn how to configure notification center, create contact-specific vibrations and LED notifications, hide the newsstand "app" in a folder, set up typing shortcuts, add some beautiful settings shortcuts to your home screen, and make your iPhone read any text aloud on demand.
• Sign Up For Free Find My iPhone - You no longer need to pay to use Apple's great Find My iPhone app. Just download it from the iTunes App Store and follow the signup instructions. You'll need to create a MobileMe account to get it to work but you will not have to pay for it. Once you're all set up, you'll be able to find your lost or stolen iPhone much more easily.
• Organize Your Home Screen - When you start downloading a bunch of apps, your home screen is going to get cluttered very quickly. Stay ahead of the game and start organizing. As you download apps it'll be easier to keep track of where every app is and will be stored. Check out these reader tips for some ideas.

Adam Dachis — The apps you have "running" on your iDevice may actually be eating up a little battery life after all. While Apple claims that their solution to multitasking—which is suspending apps rather than having them truly run in the background—is better for battery life. While that may be the case, it seems that having a bunch of apps in the multitasking queue may actually hurt your battery life a little bit after all.

According to David Pogue, in his column for the New York Times, keeping a bunch of apps suspended in your multitasking queue is actually sucking up you device's battery life:

Although Apple was thought to be releasing the iPhone 5 in the near future, it appears that users may have to wait a bit longer. Instead, it seems that Apple will only be releasing a minor upgrade to the current iPhone 4 this year, and a lack of 4G chips may be to blame. According to Business Insider, Apple was prepared to work on the iPhone 5 which is expected to include 4G connectivity, but the chipsets needed for the production were not yet available in high enough quantities so the company backed off of the complete redesign and instead are releasing a smaller update to the phone.
