When Apple senior vice president of iPhone Software, Scott Forstall, took to the stage at WWDC in San Francisco to announce iOS 5, one of the much-anticipated features to finally see the light of day was the ability to perform iOS updates without connecting the iDevice to a computer.
It seems everyone and their grandmother has gotten a hold of iOS 5 betas this time around, and with such popularity comes the usual questions: Can it be jailbroken, and can it be unlocked?
The first question we always get asked as soon as there is a new release of iOS, beta or otherwise, is whether or not it can be jailbroken. With iOS 5's second beta landing in our laps just a few short hours ago the inevitable question popped up, and we're pleased to report that yes, iOS 5 beta 2 can indeed be jailbroken.
Apple's just-released iOS 5 beta 2 enables the much vaunted WiFi Sync feature we've all been waiting for, and is available to iOS developers now.

According to an employee at China Mobile, China's state-owned mobile carrier, the long-awaited next-generation iPhone will hit shelves in September. This is yet another report in a long chain of rumors of a next-generation iPhone, which have intensified over the last few days.
What do you do when you’re trying to sell your network to geeks? For a T-Mobile spokesman, it involved pointing out that the carrier is currently home to over 1 million unlocked iPhones, even though those devices aren’t officially supported by the carrier.
Weeks after iOS 5 beta was first released, a user has noticed a fun addition to operating system’s legal disclaimers (found under Preferences > General > About > Legal). A new section makes references to several mapping companies, such as TomTom, which could mean that Apple might be developing its own mapping service instead of using Google Maps, like it has since the iPhone’s inception.
If recent reports are to be believed, the next-generation iPhone will feature a dual-LED flash. According to sources, Apple has reduced orders for high-powered LED flash lights from Philips and has begun ordering dual-LED flashes from Taiwan-based makers.
