Just a quick heads up to all of our readers who are registered iOS developers, as moments ago Apple released iOS 5 beta 3 for the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad, iPad 2, iPod touch (3rd- and 4th-gen), and Apple TV (2nd-gen).

  These iOS dev guys seemingly work around the clock to make sure we can liberate our iPhone’s as easy as humanly possible, and I’m sure I speak for everyone (other than Apple/Steve Jobs) when I say the efforts are noted and appreciated.
