Minutes after Apple released iTunes 10.5 to the paying (well, it's free, but you get the idea) public, they have now gone out and released a completely new beta to developers. That's right, iTunes 10.5.1 Beta 1 is in the wild folks, and it's all iCloud-tastic.

The iOS jailbreaking community is, I personally believe, the most active mobile OS hacking community today.
