According to Anaylist Ming-Chi Kuo Apple is planning to release iOS 5 GM to assemblers in the last week of September. He claims that the much awaited iPhone 5 went into mass production last August and everything is ready.Â
The GM release also known as the Gold Master release is the build which is most likely to make it in the final product so if it’s released to the iPhone 5 manufacturers by end of September we could have the iPhone 5 in our hands by middle of October.
It’s also claimed that the iPhone 5 will look just like the iPhone 4 and will be mostly of an internal upgrade similar to what the iPhone 3GS was to the iPhone 3G.

Ever since Microsoft announced Mango for their Windows Phone 7 platform they have been focusing on the OS’s exceptional HTML5 performance leaving behind the likes of Android, iOS and BlackBerry OS.
So Microsoft gave us another demo at the Worldwide Partners Conference (WPC) earlier this week where an HTC Mango handset went against the Samsung Droid Charge, BlackBerry Torch and an iPhone 4 with the latest iOS 5 BETA 3. The demo on display was called ‘Fish’ where 3D fishes were being rendered onto an ocean background.
As you could see in the video the Charge managed to pull 20fps, the Torch did 9fps, iPhone 4 managed to do around 15fps while the HTC managed a blazing fast 50fps! Now that’s what you call owning the crowd.

So the highly anticipated iOS 5 announcement is here. Here is an overview of the new features of the iOS 5 introduced at the WWDC. Keep in mind that these are just a few of the features and there are other less important ones which weren’t announced at the WWDC.
The first feature, which is also the most expected one, is the all new notifications system. At first look, it bears a striking resemblance to the one used in android. Apple has finally gotten rid of those annoying push notifications which plagued the iPhone.Now, the notifications can be accessed by pulling the top bar down, like in android devices. They can then be viewed individually by sliding across to reveal the notification. The notifications can be closed by tapping on the cross. Click here for more information
The second feature is native twitter integration of the iOS devices. Twitter applications can now be integrated with other applications.The setup for twitter has been simplified and now it can also automatically update contacts if they have twitter handles. Overall, the Twitter user interface is made smoother and now is much more pleasant to use. Click here for more information
The third feature is the news stand. It is more like a virtual newspaper, with magazine and news subscriptions being sent to you virtually on your iOS device. Subscriptions were introduced by Apple a while back, but now the latest editions can be downloaded automatically. They can then be read offline.
Apple has introduced a lot of new changes to the native Safari browser. First and foremost is the Safari reader, which is placed near the address bar. It aligns text together,and is a handy convenience when reading an all text page, such as a story. Then there is the reading list, which basically lets you read pages off line by saving them. Apple also introduced tabbed browsing on the iOS devices. As said before, twitter integration makes its presence here as tweets can be made using the tweet button, which pops up the tweet sheet.
The native camera application has been upgraded drastically. A camera button has been placed on the lockscreen so the camera application can be accessed directly from there without unlocking the phone.Pictures can be taken by using the volume up button, so it acts like a physical camera shutter key. The pictures can be pinched to zoom like in the previous iOS versions, but now the exposure settings can be adjusted automatically by holding onto the touch. Options for editing to some extent are also present such as red-eye reduction, cropping and one click enhancement.
Some features have also been added to the native mail client. These include; Rich-text formatting, indentation control, S-mime, draggable addresses (from To: to Cc: or Bcc:). You can now also search entire contents of messages.
iMessage is a new messaging client available on all iOS 5 devices. Messages,receipts,pictures and videos can be sent amongst all iOS 5 devices using WiFi or 3G. One thing to note is that typing notifications are present here, so the receiver gets noted when the sender is typing a message. Click here for more information
With the iOS 5, the iOS devices wouldn’t need to be synced with a PC/Mac to set them up on first start up. The setup is done on the device itself, and software updates are downloaded Over the air, unlike the previous iOS versions wherea computer with itunes was needed to update to the latest iOS version. iTunes library on the device can be synced wirelessly over wifi. Airplay mirroring also lets you display the iPad on a TV wirelessly. Click here for more information.
Other features of the iOS 5 include reminders, which can be assigned for any time or location. The dictionary can now be used for all applications downloaded from the app store. It can be accessed by selecting the text and using the define option.
The iOS 5 will be released this fall and for now will support the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod touch 3rd and 4th generations, iPad and iPad 2. However, the developer will be available from today.

The following are instructions on How To Jailbreak iOS 5 Beta 7 on iPhone 4/3GS, iPod Touch and iPad using Redsn0w 0.98b7.
The complete guide after the break.
NOTE: If you’ve already updated and are facing problems like the recovery mode loop, visit this guide HERE to downgrade to a stable release.
Tools You’ll Need:
iOS5 Beta 7 Firmware File. Click Here.
Redsn0w 0.98b7. Click Here.
iOS 5 Beta 6 Firmware File.
Step One
Download the official IPSW (Depending on your device). Download and extract Redsn0w. For convenience, place all of them in a folder on the desktop.
Step Two
Connect your iPhone to the computer and launch iTunes. When the phone shows up in iTunes select it from the list of devices on the left.  Now hold down Shift and press the restore button. You can also choose to update but restore is recommended; it’s always better to get a fresh start.
Step Three
As soon as you press Shift+Restore, a window will pop up asking you to select the IPSW file to be used. Point it towards the Official 5.0 Beta 7 IPSW you placed in the Jailbreak folder on the desktop.
Step Four
Once iTunes has successfully flashed your phone to the desired firmware, navigate to the Jailbreak folder on the desktop and launch Redsn0w.exe.
**Windows 7 users may need to run RedSn0w in Vista compatibility mode. You can do this by right clicking the executable and selecting Properties from the contextual menu
Once redsn0w opens, click the browse button.
Step Five
A windows will pop up asking you to select the Official IPSW file for your desired firmware. Point it towards the Official 5.0 Beta 6Â IPSW you placed in the Jailbreak folder on the desktop.
You will then be asked (if using a 3GS) if your device is a newer “fixed” model. If your’s is, then press the Yes button, click the No button otherwise. If you aren’t sure then simply press the Yes button.
Step Six
Once the firmware has been successfully identified click Next. Redsn0w will then prepare the jailbreak data.
After the data has been prepared you will be shown a menu where you can select different jailbreak options. You may select specific options depending on your needs, but for now we will only select “Install Cydia”. Select that option and then hit next to continue.
Step Seven
Connect the iPhone to the PC and then proceed to switch it off. Once the phone is fully turned off click Next. Remember to hold the phone in your hand before you press next as you will have to press various buttons on the phone to make it  enter DFU mode.
Step Eight
After pressing next, instructions to enter DFU mode will appear. To enter DFU mode, hold the power button for 3 seconds, then without letting go of the power button press the home button and power button together for 10 seconds after which let go of the power button and continue to hold the home button until your PC detects the phone. It may take several tries to get into DFU mode.
Once the phone has entered DFU mode, the process will begin. The phone will reboot.
When it’s completed it will show you this message. The phone will then reboot and the rest of the process will continue on your device.
Once your iPhone is done being jailbroken, you should see Cydia on your SpringBoard. This means the jailbreak has been carried out successfully. Congratulations on jailbreaking your iPhone 4/iPhone 3GS tethered on the iOS 5 beta 5 firmware.
NOTE: How to boot tethered jailbroken iPhone 4/iPhone 3GS after reboot, launch RedSn0w and select “Just boot tethered right nowâ€.

Twitter images found in iOS 5 again suggest that Apple’s next iPad will sport a high resolution retina display.
A TechUnwrapped reader was going through the new Twitter framework in iOS 5 and stumbled upon a reference images that had the resolution 2.48×1536, exactly double that of the current iPads.
[box] As I was going through the iOS SDK I came across some images in the new Twitter .framework. The resolution appears to be 1,536 x 2,048.
Apparently the Twitter.framework is the only framework I found to have these enormous images.[/box]
Previously, images were found in iBooks that were also twice the resolution of the normal ones.
