iOS 5, the newest version of Apple's mobile OS, will be available for free download on Oct. 12.

On stage at Apple's iPhone event in Cuptertino, Calif., iOS VP Scott Forstall discussed some of the new features of iOS 5, many of which were revealed earlier this year at WWDC.

The new updates include deep Twitter integration, a revamped notification system, tabbed browsing for the iPad, sync between multiple iOs devices, a revamped camera app and a Newsstand application for reading magazines and newspapers.
