If you've been following the news for the last few hours, you're probably aware that the latest build of iOS 5, known as "Beta 4", was seeded to developers. This is also the first ever version of iOS that can be downloaded over-the-air to iOS 5 Beta 3 devices, removing the need for iTunes to apply this update altogether. It now turns out that if you've jailbroken iOS 5, you won't be able to update over the air.
Apple has just seeded iTunes 10.5 Beta 4 to its developers. The new version of iTunes is required for the just-released iOS 5 Beta 4, which was released alongside the new version of iTunes.

The said app has now been updated to work with iOS 4.3.4 and 4.2.9 (for CDMA iPhones), which were both released to the public last week.
After a long wait, the official Google+ app for iPhone was finally released yesterday. The native app, which is a giant leap forward from the web-only experience that was available up until now, only supports iPhone 3G, 3GS, and iPhone 4 running iOS 4.0 or later. Google for some odd reason has left out the support for iPads and iPod touches.
