Real-Time App Syncing Progress

This is a small one, but as part of the iOS 5 tweaks that allow you to use your iDevice during iTunes Syncing, you can now view apps being installed in real-time while they are being synced to your device through iTunes, similarly to if you had downloaded the app to your device directly.

International Assistance

If you’ve got an American iPhone and have roamed with it overseas, it’ll automatically make your dialed contact numbers internationally friendly by appending a +1 before each domestic number. It’s possible that Apple will leverage the iPhone’s GPS abilities to do this for other countries as well.

iCloud Icon Has Been Changed

In Beta 1 it was purple. Now it’s the brushed steel we’ve seen in all the official documentation. In addition, iCloud is now the default choice for setting up a new email account, with MobileMe pushed all the way to the bottom.
