<html><head></head><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div><div></div><div>Good afternoon everyone,</div><div><br></div><div>Apple has released iOS 5 today, available as a free download via iTunes for a selection of iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch models. iOS 5 incorporates a variety of new features, including an updated notification system,<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); "> wireless setup and backup capabilities, Exchange task-syncing using a new app called Reminders, Twitter integration, new camera and photo-editing features, and more. For more information, I recommend visiting <a href="http://www.apple.com/ios/">http://www.apple.com/ios/</a></span></div><div><br></div><div>Although iOS 5 has been tested by the Mobile Devices Team and many IS&T-supported features, such as Exchange and IMAP support, work as expected in the new OS, we are not yet announcing support for iOS 5 and instead <b>we currently recommend that users wait to upgrade</b> to the new OS. The only obstacle remaining at this point is that the IS&T certificate renewal page does not yet support iOS 5. However, once this page has been updated, we will be able to send out another announcement concerning full IS&T support.</div><div><br></div><div>iOS 5 is compatible with the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, 3rd and 4th generation iPod touch, and both the iPad and the iPad 2. Additionally, iOS 5 will be included on the iPhone 4S once it becomes available this Friday.</div><div><br></div><div>Documentation specific to iOS devices can be found in the Hermes knowledge base on the <a href="http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/x/ZQdS">iPhone</a> and <a href="http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/x/g4Rh">iPad</a> sections of the <a href="http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/x/XQdS">Mobile Device Ninja</a>.</div><div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 15px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 17px;"><br></span></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Times New Roman'; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 17px;">For additional assistance with iOS 5, please contact the Mobile Devices Team at <a href="tel:617.324.1837" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-result="1">617.324.1837</a> or <a href="mailto:mobile-help@mit.edu">mobile-help@mit.edu</a>.</span></font></div></div><div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); ">Justin Fleming</span></div><div>-- </div><div>Justin Fleming<br>Mobile Devices | Service Desk<br>Information Services & Technology<br>Massachusetts Institute of Technology<br>Office: E19-741BB<br>Phone: <a href="tel:617.253.0157" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-result="3/0">617.253.0157</a><br>Email: <a href="mailto:jtflem@mit.edu">jtflem@mit.edu</a><br><br>Important: IS&T staff will never ask you for your password, nor will MIT send you email requesting your password information.</div><div>Please continue to ignore any email messages that claim to require you to provide such information.</div></div></div><div><span></span></div></body></html>
