Apple iPhone Blog: iOS 5 Details - iPhone news, reviews, iPhone applications, rumors about iPhone

To the surprise of all Apple users, so much discussed iOS5 beta is now ready for you to download! As we have already mentioned, iOS5 will come built in iPhone5, but you have to upgrade your smartphones yourself by now.

iOS 5 includes more than 200 new features for your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. What we consider the most important is its enhanced accessibility- iOS 5 comes with innovative new features that make it easier for people with mobility, hearing, vision, and cognitive disabilities to get the most from their iOS devices.

Some other features that iOS update brings are as follows:

A Notification Center that brings all you alerts at one place. You get all kinds of notifications on your iOS device: new email, texts, friend requests, and more. With Notification Center, you can keep track of them all in one convenient location. All you need to do is to swipe down from the top of any screen to enter Notification Center.

A Newsstand- iOS 5 organizes your magazine and newspaper app subscriptions in Newsstand: a folder that lets you access your favorite publications quickly and easily. There’s also a new place on the App Store just for newspaper and magazine subscriptions. And you can get to it straight from Newsstand.

Twitter- the social network is integrated in iOS5, allowing you to mention or @reply to a friend- it contacts applies your friends’ Twitter usernames and profile pictures. So you can start typing a name and iOS 5 does the rest. You can even add a location to any tweet, no matter which app you’re tweeting from.

This is not a full list, of course. Many more features are awaiting your download. Jailbreaking is also available, only with some problems on iPad2. So go get it now!
