Yesterday Apple released the iOS 5 GM to developers. This is the final iOS 5 "beta" version to come out before the software's public launch, and in most cases the GM is identical to what gets publicly seeded.
In classic GM fashion, you don't actually have to be a registered developer to install the iOS 5 GM. That doesn't mean that it's not still discouraged, it just means that Apple doesn't check developer UDIDs when installing the iOS 5 GM...
Hacker iH8sn0w has updated his popular jailbreak tool for Windows called Sn0wbreeze. Sn0wbreeze 2.8b8 has been updated to jailbreak the iOS 5 Gold Master that was released after today's keynote.
This Sn0wbreeze release follows an update to RedSn0w earlier today that also jailbreaks the iOS 5 GM. (See our video tutorial for more information). Check inside for details on Sn0wbreeze 2.8b8...
If you're an Apple developer, and you're interested in jailbreaking the GM release of iOS 5, then this is for you.
As we expected, right after the iPhone 4S media event, Apple released iOS GM to developers. This is the final build prior to the public version being released on October 12th.

Today is a big day for Apple news. If you've gotten lost in the growing pile of announcements, here's a helpful recap of the main highlights from Apple's "Let's Talk iPhone" event.
Today Tim Cook and co. talked about iOS 5, iCloud, and the iPhone 4S. Check inside for everything you need to know...
Although it wasn't mentioned during the presentation, Apple just made iOS 5 GM available to developers. This Golden Master update is as close as it gets to the official release of iOS 5, which will happen on October 12th.
You must use iTunes 10.5 beta 7 to install iOS 5 GM seed on your devices as the iOS 5 GM seed is not available via over-the-air software update feature...
October 12th is shaping up to be a big day for Apple fans, as iOS 5 launches publicly that day, and now it has been revealed that iCloud will be ready along with it.
One feature that you might have to wait a few more days for, is iTunes Match — Apple's cloud music matching service that we profiled back in august...
Well, that was bizarre. The first "major" anouncement at Apple's media event this afternoon was Cards; as in greeting cards.
Yes, Cards is an upcoming app from Apple themselves, which will allow end users to create greeting cards right on their iPhones.
Apple will then print it out, address it, mail it, and send you a push notification when it arrives...
After several months of rumors and speculation, Apple's long-awaited iPhone event has finally arrived. As expected, Tim Cook has taken the stage to kick off the highly anticipated keynote.
The newly-appointed CEO has started things off by talking about Apple's major milestones over the last several months. As you may know, it's been a good year for Apple, so Tim has plenty to brag about...
So, what will it be? Signs are certainly pointing to an iPhone 4S as being the only new iPhone we'll see this afternoon.
Either way, it's highly probably that we will see some new product hit Apple's online store after the media event concludes.
That's because Apple's online store is currently down, which normally means the ability to order a new product, or at least pre-order a new product, is in the cards...
There has been a lot of controversy over Apple's iPhone event tomorrow. Recent evidence has suggested that the company won't be unveiling a device with an all-new design, but one similar to the iPhone 4 with improved internals.
Skeptics believe that an iPhone 4S wouldn't be enough to power Apple's smartphone sales in the face of growing competition. Why would anyone choose a non-4G device with a 3.5" screen over offerings like the Galaxy S II? Assistant of course...
A while back, we ran a story that entitled: iOS 5 to Kill the Jailbreak Community? That was of course, before Apple unveiled iOS 5 at the 2011 WWDC at Moscone West.
The purpose of that article, was to call out Apple's not so subtle means of usurping the jailbreak throne by making jailbreaking less glamorous, less desirable. Essentially, Apple was planning on taking some of the best features of jailbreaking, and bake it right into their new OS.
Since then, I've tested multiple betas of iOS 5 on everything including the iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad. While it does make quite a few of the jailbreak community's apps — at best redundant, at worst, totally obsolete or unecesarry — it's far from the end of the world for the jailbreak community.
In fact, I strongly feel that jailbreaking can and will be reinvigorated with iOS 5; inside, I'll explain why...
Apple started initially approving app compatibility updates for iOS 5 back in August. With iOS 5 set for a public release next week at the earliest, Apple is continuing to approve more iOS 5 compatibility updates for popular apps in the App Store.
Microsoft's Photosynth application received an update today that brings iOS 5 compatibility. What app will be next to receive a compatibility update for Apple's unreleased software?
