Apple recently released iOS version 5 for the iPhone 3/3GS/4, iPad 1&2, and iPod Touch 3G/4G. This update brings many UI changes, including a notifications area, which can be accessed by swiping from the top of the screen (similar to an android device). It also enables access to iCloud, a service which allows you to automatically synchronize music, pictures, documents, and many other things between your iDevices.
As of this update, you can also sync your Idevices over WiFi, in case you’re like me and are too lazy to keep finding the stupid $20 cable.
Overall, iOS 5 is a great (and arguably much needed) update for Apple’s portable devices.
