Good news, jailbreak developers: Apple's recently released iOS 5 beta 2 software update can already be jailbroken using the existing version of redsn0w (a jailbreak solution provided by the iPhone Dev-Team).

In the latest beta version of iOS 5 (beta 2, which was released yesterday), Apple has enabled its wireless syncing feature: Wi-Fi Sync.

Remember the rumor floating around that Apple might kill off the iPod touch? Well, that rumor might have just been debunked. New code has been discovered in iOS 5 beta that suggests the iPod touch will live to see another day, according to Cult Of Mac.

A couple of days ago, Jake Behrens (an Apple developer) send out a tweet that was delivered "via iOS." Because the tweet didn't include a content link (photo, video, webpage or map reference), some people got pretty excited, and decided that this suggests that the final version of iOS 5 will allow users to "tweet from anywhere."

WeeTranslate is a new jailbreak tweak, which adds a Google Translate widget to the Notification Center (in iOS 5).

In the first beta version of iOS 5, Apple has much improved Safari for iOS.

Two new Notification Center widgets have just come to our attention - BatteryCenter and MyiP.

The next iPhone will be released September 7 along with iOS 5 according to International Business News. It is also suggested Apple will delay the launch of its new line of iPods until a later date.

Another iOS 5 Notification Center widget to hit the jailbreak scene is WeeFacebook. This handy jailbreak tweak adds a Facebook widget to Notification Center, much like WeeTwitter - which we told you about the other day.

Users could soon view their Twitter timeline from iOS 5’s new Notification Center. However, this can already be done using a jailbreak via iOS 5 beta. Surprisingly, a U.S.-based teenager created it, according to Redmond Pie.

Believe it or not, some iPhone/iPod touch and iPad owners never attach their iDevice to their computer's iTunes application once it is activated for the first time. Unfortunately, come upgrade time the process takes a lot longer than it should. This is especially true for Apple Retail Store employees who are often the ones asked to do the upgrade. Luckily, iCloud is about to change that.

The iOS experience is about to get even better. Thanks to iOS 5, Apple will unleash a dizzying array of new features, most which are highly anticipated. Still, the possible inclusion of third-party widgets is not something I feel will benefit iOS in general and here is why.

Apple's recently unveiled iOS 5 sure looks good, but how does it compare with its rivals? One recently published chart outlines the features of Apple's iOS 5, and compares them against Android 2.3 ("Gingerbread"), Windows Phone 7 ("Mango") and BlackBerry 7 OS.

Hot on the heels of UISettings is an upcoming, impressive jailbreak-only Notification Center widget: MusicCenter. With this handy widget, users will be able see what track is playing in Notification Center.

According to a recent report, Apple's fifth generation iPhone has reached its final, "AP" stage of testing, and should be available from September. Furthermore, the handset could allow users to make FaceTime calls over 3G - although Apple and Verizon have reportedly yet to reach a final agreement regarding this.

Following the release of redsn0w for iOS 5, @iH8sn0w has released a new version of sn0wbreeze, which also supports the first beta version of Apple’s upcoming software update. The news hit the Web hours ago, via @iH8sn0w’s Twitter account.

Once jailbreak developers got their hands on the first beta version of iOS 5, the development of tweaks and applications for the upcoming software update began. One in particular - UISettings - got many of us excited, simply because it looked like "SBSettings in the Notification Center."

Coming this fall, iPhone users will be able to snap pictures using their iPhone headphones too. This news comes from the iPhone Download Blog.

Apple’s “over-the-air” software update feature in iOS 5 could force updates on users, according to a recent Twitter post by Will Strafach (of the recently launched @ChronicWire).

If you’re wondering how the first beta version of iOS 5 compares with iOS 4, look no further. Because one Apple news website – Apple Rumors – has recently posted a video comparison, demonstrating iOS 5 (beta 1) and iOS 4.3.3 running on an iPhone 4 handset.

It looks like Nuance features on iOS will ship in the Fall, after all.
