Are you not a developer and can’t wait till October 12th to get your hands on iOS 5?! Well, I got GREAT news!!! With the release of iOS 5 GM [Gold Mastered] build, you’re able to install iOS 5 on your iDevice! Also, you don’t need to have a developer account [NO JAILBREAK NEEDED TOO] to install it on you iDevice!

**What is iOS GM?**
iOS GM build is the same software that will be released to everyone on release date [October 12th]. May be tweaked just a bit, but majority will be the final on the final release.
