Apple has today released the third version of its iOS 5 beta. The new version should offer some stability improvements and bug fixes.
The iOS 5 beta is available for download now on theApple Developersite. Note that Apple requires that you have a developer account and a device registered on the site in order to download and install iOS 5.
In addition to iOS 5 beta 2, which is build number 9A5259f, Apple has also released iTunes 10.5 beta 3 for Mac and a new iCloud beta for Lion as well as Xcode 4.2 Developer Preview 3.

There are a host of minor bug fixes, but these are the salient points:
