Over the last few months, we've seen several pre-release seeds of iOS 5 but no indication on when we'd finally see the final version, and without any surprise, today at their media event, Apple has seeded the final Gold Master candidate of iOS 5 for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
If you're currently using one of iOS 5 Betas, then here’s a quick heads up: iOS 5 Beta 6 has been released moments ago. If you're a registered Apple developer, you can legally download it immediately.
As many in the tech world have been expecting, iOS 5 Beta 5 has just been released to registered Apple developers. While we haven’t yet been able to test out the new build, it’s expected to include minor enhancements to Apple’s next-generation mobile operating system as it gets closer and closer to its September release.
Jailbreak 4.3.5 with Redsn0w: Apple has unexpectedly pushed out an incremental update for iOS 4.3.x, and it is dubbed as iOS 4.3.5.

If there is one area where Apple's iOS still lags behind Google's Android, it's in the software updating process. As things stand today, eager updaters must first be informed that an update is available and then run off to plug their iDevice into a computer for iTunes to work its magic. Contrast this with the painless over-the-air nature of Android's updates and it's clear to see where Apple needs to be focusing its energy right now.
The just released iOS 4.3.3 firmware update for iPhone 4 has been successfully jailbroken using custom PwnageTool bundles. The jailbreak though is tethered only for now, which means that you will have to boot it into jailbroken state every time you reboot.
