Apple releases iOS 5 for the iFamily

Today Apple released its major update to iOS, iOS 5, to its iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch product lines. There are several new features in the latest iOS build that include, a new Notification Center, BBM-style iMessage, Reminders, Wi-Fi Sync, iCloud and Twitter integration. Additionally, Apple’s all-new Siri personal assistant is iPhone 4S exclusive.

Note: iTunes 10.5 is required for iCloud and the iOS5 update. iOS 5 is available now on the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod touch 3rd / 4th generations, and both iPads.

Update: Apple update servers are being hammered with the influx of users trying to download the latest update. Hopefully things will return to normal soon, after users have gotten their update.
