Apple released the second beta version of its iOS 5 mobile operating system to its iOS developer website, as well as the second beta of iTunes 10.5. The release notes from Apple highlight only one new known feature, the ability to finally sync your iDevice wirelessly via Wi-Fi syncing. To use the new wireless syncing features, users must have the newest iOS 5, iTunes 10.5 beta 2, and a Mac running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or OS X Lion. Users must then connect their device to their Mac with a USB cable for the the very last time. This will allow them to choose the wireless sync option. The iOS 5 beta 2 release also now allows any Apple ID to be used to create an iCloud account. (The beta 1 version required a MobileMe account.) A new version of iMessage is included in beta 2. And that version is not backward-compatible with the iMessage version in beta 1, check out the complete list of features here. Also, developers must take note that once the beta 2 version of iOS 5 is installed, they can only update to newer beta versions, and cannot revert back to the first beta version. In addition to iOS 5 beta 2 and iTunes 10.5 beta 2, Apple also released a second beta version of AppleTV 2.0 software and a developer preview of XCode 4.2. For those running iOS 5 beta 1, don’t forget beta 1 is reported to expire on August 4th,  iOS 5 is scheduled for release to the public sometime this fall.
