Whether youre a new iPhone or iPad user who just purchased an Apple mobile device that runs iOS 5, or youre a veteran iPhone and/or iPad user who has upgraded your device to run the latest and greatest of Apples mobile device operating systems, youre in for an amazing experience.

Apples iOS 5 not only enables your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to be a powerful mobile device thats capable of handling a wide range of tasks simultaneously, it also is an operating system that enables you to utilize an incredibly fast-growing library of apps.

Between the customizability of iOS 5 and your ability to utilize your mobile device with preinstalled and optional apps, you can personalize your phone or tablet so that its perfectly suited to meet your unique needs.

Like Microsoft Windows for PC-based computers or Apples OS X Lion for the Mac, for example, iOS is an operating system created by Apple that works with its mobile devices, including the various iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch models. Just like any operating system, iOS manages and controls the devices hardware and software resources, and handles every task it ultimately carries out.

Apple first introduced the world to the original Apple iPhone in early 2007. Since then, the phone hardware, as well as the iOS operating system, has quickly evolved. Each updated version of Apples iOS has introduced users to new features and functionality, ultimately making the iPhone, and later the iPad and iPod touch, among the bestselling and most versatile mobile devices on the planetnot to mention that theyre among the most technologically advanced in terms of whats available to consumers.
