iOS 5 is out, along with updates to iMovie, Apple TV

iOS 5 is now available for download [I won't be able to install it until later today, hopefully the traffic to Apple's servers won't be as heavy then!]

An update for the Apple TV (the second generation model) is also available that adds wireless mirroring functionality over AirPlay. AppleInsider: Apple releases iOS 5 for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch & Apple TV


Several updates to Apples iOS apps (Pages, Numbers, Keynote) are also available that add several features, notably support for iCloud. There's also an update to iMovie, though Apple doesn't list any major changes in Version 1.2.2 in the iTunes description:
This update addresses minor issues and expands support for videos imported from external cameras.

AppleTV

Speaking of AppleTV, the current version only support 720p; could a 1080p version be just around the corner? A recent article on MacRumors hints at a possible 3rd generation version in testing and development, but concludes that any model could be as much as eighteen months away.
