I see many people complaining that their scheme list is totally cluttered by the dozen projects in Cocos2d and that some are missing.
This is caused by the new XCode4 structure with these "schemes" and "Product". I don't like them! The previous Project and build target were more friendly.

IOS 5 is still in Beta testing but many new features appeared in the latest betas and they are extremely importants for lazy or "technically challenged" users.
IOS5 allows OTA (Over The Air) IOS update, WiFi Sync, iCloud backups and many other very nice features.

iOS4.3.2 adds the usual security feature enhancements and minor optimisations and bug fixes as well.
The biggest bug fix in iOS4.3.2 is that Apple has solved the FaceTime freeze issue affecting iPad 2 users.
Next improvement is iPad’s 3G performance. It is generally more stable.

My predictions were not off by a lot, and as I predicted it is not the huge step everybody expected, and Apple will do that in two steps, except they selected a hardware upgrade instead of a firmware one which is NOT wise.
Apple used a dual-core A5 (A5 can be Quad core I predicted underpowered A9 Quad). Front and Back Camera, No retina, No SDCard, improved speaker.

They did not announce a 4G version, and we suppose Apple will have the upper hand in that. Big Apple news are always Steve Jobs' news.
