Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is about to release iOS 5 -- the release date is today. In fact, by the time you read this, it may already be released. In IT Blogwatch, bloggers get ready.

Eat your heart out, Android users, at long last Adobe Flash is on the way to an Apple iPad or iPhone, with one huge advantage: you don't need Flash, sort of.

Let's talk iPhone. Specifically, about the iPhone 5 release date. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) fanbois everywhere have been waiting for this moment, with baited wallets. However, it looks like rumors were wrong about a cheaper iPhone 4S being announced at the same time. In IT Blogwatch, bloggers read the rumor runes. Not to mention: Join with Nile Rodgers and Roseanne Barr on Friday to send a simple, yet powerful message...

The jailbreak for iOS 5, on your iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, or original iPad seems to be ready for prime-time. The usual bleeding-edge suspects have discovered the bugs, and the Dev Team's fixed them; so now you should be ready to escape from Apple's pomaceous walled garden of parody-free, sexless, family friendliness. Here you'll find the best jailbreaking resources, in today's The Long View...

[Update includes some additional unlock clarification] Good news, everyone! Now you can jailbreak your iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, or iPad, with iOS 5.0.1 and reboot untethered. At last! Find out how, in The Long View...

It looks like we're about to see a jailbreak for iDevices: good news for users who want non-AppStore apps. It's even working for the new iOS 4.02 and 4.1. Listen up, if you want the latest operating system, or you've accidentally upgraded to it (specifically, if you own an iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad, or iPod Touch 4G). It's a bootROM exploit, which appears tricky for Apple to fix (oh boo-hoo, how terribly tragic). In IT Blogwatch, bloggers breathe a sigh of relief, thanking pod2g, p0sixninja, and the Chronic-Dev team. Not to mention the Microsoft Opera browser urban legend...

Call it the rumor that will never die, but it's back to walk among us, with Bloomberg telling us Apple has flicked the switch and iPad 3 manufacturing has already begun, with the product set to ship in March.

Apple is in accelerated lock-down as it attempts to identify the best possible apps to demonstrate on the iPad 3 the company plans to launch at a special event next month.

For the present or until I hear fresh news offering more insight into Apple's launch plans, I'm scheduling October 2 and 16 as potential dates for the company's next big iPhone reveal. Are you with me?

There's so much focus on the iPad 2.0 right now, which we now know will likely be faster, slimmer, lighter, host cameras and boast better graphics with a better screen than the existing model, but what do we know about the iPhone 5? What features we can look forward to in the next-gen Apple smartphone when it ships in summer "at the earliest".

iPad 2 and iPhone 5 get later release date you say? Nuh-uh, my friends: Apple says iPad 2 announcement still happening March 2, despite the wild rumors. And the whisper is that iPhone 5 is also on-schedule: early-Q3.
Rumor has it that the iPhone 5 and iPad 2 release dates have slipped. The delay of a few months is blamed on production and sourcing issues. Some have been repeating the rumors, while others receive what smell like off-the-record Apple denials. In IT Blogwatch, bloggers dissect dire dissertations. Not to mention what's wrong with modern pop music...

The latest Digitimes-driven claim from inside the Apple iPhone 5 supply chain seems to confirm a September launch for the new smartphone.

Tons of websites are reporting that Apple is catching up with Android when it comes to smartphone market share -- but those websites are completely misinterpreting the data.

[Update2: Does Apple need the iPhone 5 release sooner rather than later?] Does WWDC 2012 hold clues to the iPhone 5 release date? It's assumed that we'll see iOS 6, but will Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) revert to a summer announcement schedule, or keep mum until fall? In IT Blogwatch, bloggers read the runes.

[Updated x2 with more opinion: has Samsung caught Apple napping? Or will the iPhone 5 release date bring a better shiny that Samsung can muster?] How does the Samsung Galaxy S III (S3, if you must) stack up, vs. the Apple iPhone 4S? It's time for one of Richi's roundups of reviews from around the Web. In IT Blogwatch, bloggers compare, contrast, and castigate.
