Attention all iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, 3rd and 4th-generation iPod Touch owners, iOS 5 is NOW available for download!

It is a free upgrade for all of the devices mentioned above. To update to iOS 5, make sure that you’ve ugraded iTunes to v 10.5, then simply plug your compatible iOS device into your computer (good luck PC owners, this is always a crap shoot as to whether iTunes will actually recognize your device), launch iTunes, and follow the update prompts.

Voila!

…some inordinately long period of time later…

you’ll be enjoying all the new and wonderful features that iOS 5 has to offer.
