The first thing we noticed was the wireless synch which is now live in Beta 2. This is great because now all users have to do is plug in their device once and set it up through iTunes to sync it and then when you device is synching you will see an icon appearing on the iOS status bar.

The lock screen design in Beta 2 is also slightly different. The notifications are now more prominent on the lock screen and there is a pull down menu allowing users to access other notifications and take action on them.

There is also an enhancement for those who like to do tasks in landscape mode. In previous versions text was almost invisible when the keyboard was enabled but now the virtual keyboard automatically slides out of the way whenever the text underneath is interacted with.

iOS 5 is due to be publically released to the general public in the autumn and there are some new devices anticipated too. iOS 5 has brought several improvements and Beta 2 has patched the vulnerability that allowed iOS 5 to be unlocked using a GEVEY Sim card. iOS 5 is currently only available to those who are registered with Apple. The video below will walk you through all that is new in iOS 5 Beta 2.
