Tutorial: Non-Devs Can Also Easily Update to iOS 5 Right Now

Well, that didn’t take long. A few easy steps will get iOS 5 onto your device(s) of choice in no time, regardless of whether you have a developer account or not. In case you need a refresher, iOS 5 is compatible with the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad, iPad 2, along with the third and fourth-generation iPod touch. If you want the shiny new version of iOS a few months early, read on.

Disclaimer: iOS 5 is currently in beta with months of development time left for polish, so there is no guarantee that this will be a stable release suitable for everyday usage. Though it is unlikely that problems will arise during installation, we cannot promise that updating will be a smooth process for everyone. Thus, follow this guide at your own discretion.

That wasn’t difficult, was it? Now, go try iOS 5 and let us know your experience in the comments!

Gizmodo had received a tip from a developer who has cracked the proverbial code preventing regular users from using and installing the iOS 5 beta onto compatible iOS devices, leading to the creation of this tutorial.
