iOS 5 Now Available To The Public
iTunes In The Cloud Also Has iTunes Match
Hey, more news from WWDC 2011, if you can take it! Something that was very much expected was iTunes in the cloud. You can sync your songs to the cloud and have them mirrored to your all your iOS devices (up to 10) at 256kbps quality. Previous songs that you did not purchase from iTunes can be accessed for $25 a year via iTunes Match, which will have the DRM overlords happy. The special thing about iTunes Match i that it matches your songs with the ones seen in the iTunes music store, which means nothing is uploaded, just copied in a few minutes. It’s a smart move, even though it’s DRM-focused.

iOS 4.3.3 Has Been Released
So, iOS 4.3.3 is here. This mainly will rectify the public concern with the crowd-sourced location database that Apple was building by using users iPhones and iPads to build the data. What happens here is that all of your previously visited locations aren’t backed up to iTunes, and if you turn off Location Services, the data-collector would be turned off as well. All you need in order to start the update is plug in your iDevice to iTunes, like I am right now with the iPad 2. Oh, and the update is a rather large 607MB, by the way.
iOS 4.3 Is Released
Time to hook up your iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and get updating on iTunes to the new and shiny iOS 4.3. New features include personal hotspots, bug fixes, AirPlay to Apple TV, a faster Safari web browser, iPad switch choices (orientation lock or mute), and more. Via: Apple

Apple Strangles Music Publishers A Bit, Releases 90 Second Previews
There was talk of 90-second previews coming to the iTunes Store for music a while now, and it turns out the feature has been turned on, at least for big-name record labels. The usual 30-second demos still are the majority though, and the 90-second previews will be slowly rolled out to more albums and songs. And now I wonder if Apple has extended any of the Buddha Bar previews. Via: AppleInsider (outsider?)
Apple Puts The iPad In The Game By Upgrading It To iOS 4.2
