The iPhone 4S has been available on pre-order since October 7 and in stores since last Friday, October 14. These models are available for purchase on contract but Apple promised unlocked iPhone 4S devices starting November. Turns out that some Apple Stores in America are reportedly already selling unlocked Apple-phones, according to information published by 9to5mac. The activation is done via iTunes when the device is plugged in, at which time a "Congratulations, your iPhone has been unlocked!" message is displayed. Such an unlocked iPhone allegedly connected to T-Mobile's EDGE network via an O2 SIM-card on roaming but the phone itself contained a removable AT&T microSIM card.

iOS 5 is expected to land today as promised with the occasion of the iPhone 4S launch. We already had our share of iTunes 10.5 which should be ready to update phones and take advantage of the online offerings and now iCloud has gone live!

It's getting more and more difficult to keep track of all the lawsuits, claims and accusations between these two. Legal battles are ongoing in several regions, from Japan to the U.K. and Australia has just been added to the list. 
Some updated timetables for the production run of the iPhone 5, and the release schedule for iOS 5, have come to light thanks to the work of the folks at AppleInsider, as we reported early this morning.
