I have already covered the new (enterprise relevant) features in iOS 5:

Right after releasing that post Apple just launched a couple of changes to how these features work, or rather the policies relating to the usage of them. (The features themselves are still on – don’t worry.)

A couple of minor things regarding availability of MDM API and Apple Push Notification Service.
I was thinking about a pun about it being for grown-ups, but that might have been interpreted as me saying Android is all grown up. And I haven’t decided on that yet
After a slight delay Android version 4.0, code name Ice Cream Sandwich has now been launched. This is the next major iteration of the operating system, and this time it should work both on tablets and regular phone form factors. As the number indicates it is not a mix of the 2.x and 3.x branch, but the next branch. All APIs and features from 3.x is included in 4.0.
The main focus of the release is on user interface improvements, as well as general updates of the apps and polishing the OS further. You can find screenshots all over the Internet of course of this.
As usual I don’t care about these things. Well, of course, as a user of devices I care about the interface, but this blog does not concern itself with such matters. A perhaps important feature for people reading this blog is that since Honeycomb features are supported this means that you now get full device encryption on the phone devices and just not the tablets.

A couple of paragraphs of what I have found so far.
Drumroll, please…
iOS 5 is finally here! Pack your sleeping bags, and get ready to stand in line around the block of your neighborhood Apple Store. (We don’t have any where I live so I’ll just wait it out…)
Ok, it’s not shocking really given that it has been around in various betas for months, and this is the season for launching new iGadgets. (Technically iOS 5 was soft launched when the first beta arrived, but RTM is after all the hard launch.)
(…)
I finalize and make a launch day conclusion as to enterprise features in iOS 5 partly based on my previous two posts/rants on the topic.
