Apple on Monday released a new build of its iOS 5 beta software to developers,” Zach Epstein reports for BGR.
“The new build — iOS 5 beta 3 — is available for all applicable iOS devices including the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 2, iPad, Apple TV, and third and fourth-generation iPod touch devices,” Epstein reports. “Apple also released the third beta of iTunes 10.5 alongside the new iOS release of course, and it will be necessary for developers to install iTunes 10.5 beta 3 in order to load the new iOS beta on their devices.”
The complete change log is included in the full article here.

iOS still has a long way to go before it is great. An unjailbroken iOS is an unhappy iOS.
I haven’t seen much that really warrants jailbreaking
things ios needs that aren’t in ios5:
running xcode on the device
applescript
built in file sharing (theres an app for it, but the other person will need it as well)
jailbreaking does non of that. the only thing it really does is through your iphones stability into the toilet (and don’t tell me it doesn’t, I jailbroke my iphone, it was awful) and let you pirate apps….. and not much else (unix shell scripting would be useful on it, except they neglected to include most of the programs you would need to make it useful (something to edit nsuserdefaults (the defaults command) is a good example))
Stability can go to shit when some JB apps clash, but you just needs to test it. I’ve set it up to be pretty stable. I love Lockinfo but notification center could take that out. The JB app that make the iPhone great are bitesms for quickereplying, sbsettings, fakeclockup, infinidock, and infinifolders. I honestly think I couldn’t use an unjailbroken iPhone again. Apple needs to really take a note from all these JB apps.
Speak for yourself. I wouldn’t jailbreak my iPhone 4 even if you would pay me. I dislike security holes. And most of the stuff on the atrocious Cydia “reload everything all the time painfully slowly” PoS Store is just instable crap. I “destroyed” a iPod touch with a jailbreak. It was never the same again, even after restoring. (strange misbehaving, quirks). My unbroken (intended pun) is very happy without Cydia.
NEVER. AGAIN. PERIOD.
I believe that iOS is quite satisfied with itself. A few owners of iOS devices may find it necessary to jailbreak the operating system. But, most people seem to get by just fine on the stock iOS.
I wish Google could get updates out so qucikly.
That’s impossible! Giigle has to get the list of iOS features, play with an iOS device and then try to figger out how Apple did it. LOL
