SOLVED: After much angst I discovered that under restrictions I had disabled the ability to change accounts!
I have updated both my iPads today with iOS 5 and am having some issues.
Under the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" area in the settings all the account stuff is greyed out.
I also have greyed out iCloud and Twitter menu options in the settings.
I cannot find any info on Google – anyone know why this would be happening?
(I cannot add the gmail account I want to use!)

Do you have the twitter app installed, it seems to be required.
The way I found out is by going to the camera roll and trying to tweet a photo, it asked me to set it up in the settings, which in turn asked me to install the app.

I have the exact same thing.
What has happened is I didn't turn MobileMe off on the iPhone before setting up iCloud. It locks the iCloud account.
2 hours on the line to MobileMe support came to nothing. Apart from a suggestion to restore the iPhone, however I can't see how that will help unless you start from afresh on the phone and who wants to lose all their texts etc?
I set up my iPad differently after this by turning MM off and then inputting the iCloud credentials. Smooth sailing after then, however I have yet to find a fix for the phone.
*sigh*

Found the solution on another forum.
If you have the greyed out problem above its because the Parental restrictions were turned on during the iOS update.
Turning off MM before logging into iCloud avoids the problem, but a quick fix is to unlock the restrictions and then you can change the menu items.
