iOS 5 is now available to the public!



Are you ready for iCloud? Are you ready for iOS 5?

Some of us have had the privilege of using iOS 5 for a week now.  The GM was released last Tuesday at the “Lets Talk iPhone” apple event.

Personally, I think it has some great features.  My favorites I have already covered in previous posts... But here are my top 3...  

You can set custom tones for every sound your iDevice makes.
  

The notification center which takes all your alerts for every app, and puts them into one convenient place.  


When you get text messages, you no longer get the text alert in the middle of your screen, completely interrupting what your doing at the time.  Your device now just shows a small alert at the top of the screen, then disappears to the notification center to remind you about it later.



*** Just be for warned.  There is ONLY A TEATHERED jailbreak out right now for the GM.  Now that the final version of iOS 5 is here, there is not telling if that same JailBreak will work or not.  So… If your planning to upgrade, but can’t live with out your jailbreak… Then wait.  TEATHERED jailbreaks SUCK!!! ***
