Apple
Yes, iOS 5 is out, and you can now grab it, if you are an iPad, iPod touch or iPhone user with a copy of iTunes on a Mac or Windows PC. If you do not iTunes 5 still (published last night), you need to grab a copy of it first.
My iPhone 4 version size according to iTunes, 781.9 MB, whereas the iPad version (provided by the Techland Jared Newman) sees only 700.3 MB. I'm not sure why there are such significant differences, but I would estimate that it has to do, what the iPad packaging was already, logic-wise, contrasted with the iPhone 4.

If you are a Mac user, you will also discover, a lion recovery update (it fixes a problem "Find my Mac") and 10.7.2 both of OS X software update are MacOS X tool, the latter with "iCloud support", and "Support", by Apple means that you see an iCloud Setup Panel after you complete the update. 10.7.2 also adds Safari 5.1.1 and a number of browser updates. The combined update sizes for those significant clocking in 1.24 GB two, however, is. And Apple's get hammered because my Downloader currently says, that I will be the production Bell waiting for at least 12 hours.
iOS 5 adds some 200 new features, according to Apple, the most notable including a uniform notification Center, so-called Imessage\r, the iOS-based devices chat via Wi-Fi or cellular networks, a new newsstand Bookshelf-like view of newspapers and magazines, which purchased from the app store, stricter Twitter integration, improved tasks (and memories), app, have advanced photo editing, a few Safari photograph a more precise tweaks, browsing / reading and - last but not least - "Independence for all iOS devices." Yes, 5 makes it possible iOS it, everything in the air and kiss cable (on a Mac or PC) to do tethering farewell.
iCloud plugs directly into this equation, replaces me Apple mobile service and enables wireless synchronization of e-Mail, contacts, calendar, bookmarks, notes, task lists, and more.
I'll be back in a little with hands-on impressions, be if my first one, my download bar, watching the minutes completion slowly increase would have to "giant sized ultra-anticipated updates type suck."
