PDF Expert for iPad by Readdle has been updated, today, and include custom text and image stamps and integration of the iOS 5 dictionary.

One of the other new features makes your handwriting look more realistic. I love this new feature because it’s embarrassing to share a PDF with notes that look like they were written by an 8 year old. After this update, I won’t have to worry about that!

Here’s the complete update list:

• Custom text and image stamps
• Redesigned search results
• iOS 5 dictionary integration
• Realistic handwriting for the notes

PDF Expert is available on the iPad for $9.99.

9to5Mac got a tip that Apple has started allowing downloadable content from magazine publishers into the new iOS 5 Newsstand app. Right now it seems like only Wired and GQ, but more are sure to follow as tomorrow’s iOS 5 launch approaches.

We’re still waiting on the likes of The New York Times, SF Chronicle, Daily Telegraph and many more. Magazine publishers are jumping on board too, with National Geographic, SPIN, Conde Nast, Nylon, The Telegraph, GQ Esquire etc.,

Anyone else manage to nab a newspaper or magazine in Newsstand yet?

New tests conducted over at AnandTech reveal that Apple has chosen to underclock the A5 system-on-a-chip nestled inside the iPhone 4S to ~800MHz, just slightly slower than the iPad 2‘s 1GHz, but still far better than the iPhone 4‘s A4 SoC — by margins as high as 73%.

Using some of the integer and fp tests of published Geekbench scores we can already conclude that Apple is shipping a lower clocked A5 in the iPhone 4S than it does in the iPad 2 [...] Based on the Geekbench results it looks like the iPad 2 is clocked around 25% higher than the iPhone 4S, pegging the latter’s clock speed at 800MHz.

They go on to speculate that the reduction in processor speed is attributed to power-saving methods used by Apple, just as they did with the A4 chip in the iPhone 4 when compared to the original iPad.

The tests also reveal a slightly lower-clocked SGX 543MP2 GPU chip, but it’s safe to say that the iPhone 4S is easily the fastest smartphone on the planet — we just can’t wait to see how games like Infinity Blade 2 perform on this thing!

Tomorrow Apple releases iOS 5 to the public and while millions will rush to grab it and bring iTunes’ servers to their knees, I for one will be taking a pass. At least for now. The reason is simple — I’m not willing to give up my beloved Jailbreak.

I like being able to put more apps in the dock than Apple allows. I like being able to respond to texts without having to go back to the Messages app and change my settings with a swipe. I like being able to leave gaps on my home screen and I like seeing cool FX happen when I swipe from one screen to another.

And while Rene was showing me the admittedly cool looking new Notification Center in iOS 5, he couldn’t preview email right from the pull down the way I could with my Jailbreak notifications.

There’s already a tethered Jailbreak for iOS 5, but I need my phone to work for work, so tethered isn’t an option for me. There are rumors an untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5 might be coming soon.

That’s what I’m waiting for. And that’s why I’m not updating to iOS 5. Yet.

Anyone else on #TeamJailbreak waiting with me?

A couple weeks ago, we announced our photo contest for a chance to win a JOBY GorillaMobile, compliments of JOBY.

Stuff.tv got their hands on an iPhone 4S at the Apple media event in the UK last week, and now applemastertouch got an early hands on as well, and both put Siri through its paces. Highlight:

Goran: I love you.

Siri: I hope you don’t say that to other mobile phones, Goran.

Nice. Check out the videos below.

While the general public gets their first taste of iTunes 10.5 today, Apple isn’t wasting any time moving developers up to iTunes 10.5.1 beta. Like other recent betas, it includes iTunes Match functionality for further testing.

As a precursor to tomorrows iOS 5 update and iCloud explosion, Apple today released iTunes 10.5 to the masses. Here’s what’s new:

iTunes in the Cloud. iTunes now stores your music and TV purchases in iCloud and makes them available on your devices anywhere, any time, at no additional cost.

Automatic Downloads. Purchase music from any device or computer and automatically download a copy to your Mac and iOS devices.

Download Previous Purchases. Download your past music, TV, app, and book purchases again, at no additional cost. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they are no longer on the iTunes Store.

Sync with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5.

Wi-Fi Syncing. Automatically sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iTunes any time they’re both on the same Wi-Fi network.

For information on the security content of this update, please visit: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222.

If you’re going to be updating to iOS 5 tomorrow, update to iTunes 10.5 today. (Jailbreakers, we don’t expect any trouble but air on the side of caution and let others test the waters first.)

Everyone else, hit Software Update, and keep your browsers locked on TiPb for lots more iOS 5 and iCloud coverage!

Join us after the break for the liveblog. Things get going at 9:30 a.m. Pacific, 12:30 p.m. Eastern.
