Apple has opened the floodgates for developers and released the iOS 5 Gold Master version in the Dev Portal. Following the “Let’s Talk iPhone” event where Apple unveiled the iPhone 4S, iOS 5 has reached its final beta stage before its release on October 12th.
If you’re on the last iOS 5 beta, the GM update should now be available as an over-the-air update in Settings can only be installed after a restore in iTunes. You must be a registered developer to legally download and install the iOS 5 beta.
iOS 5 will bring over 200 new features to iOS device users when it is made publicly available next week.

i’m going to upgrade from beta 7 to this gm release. any drawback encountered so far?
I upgraded via iTunes 10.5 beta 7. No issues.
GPRS and Edge still doesn’t work on my factory unlocked phone that is not connected to an official apple carrier. I’m not sure if this is due to iTunes 10.5 beta 7.
