Mark your calendars, kids. Scott Forstall's on stage here at "Let's Talk iPhone" and just gave a hard date for iOS 5's arrival: expect it to hit next week, on October 12th, with Apple's iCloud service launching that same day. Though developers have been playing with it (http://www.engadget.com/wwdc-2011/apple-ios-5-hands-on-preview/) for four months now, this will be the first time the general, non-tinkering public gets to taste its 200-plus new features -- a list that includes Newsstand, Reminders, iMessage, WiFi sync, Find My Friends (http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/04/apple-announces-find-my-friends-feature-for-ios-5/), split keyboards, AirPlay mirroring for the iPad 2 (and iPhone 4S (http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/04/airplay-mirroring-coming-to-iphone-4s-not-just-for-ipads/)!) and the Notification Center. (And, you know, greeting cards (http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/04/cards-app-for-iphone-sends-snail-mail-best-wishes-for-a-price/), if you're into that sort of thing.) iOS 5 will be free for iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches, while iCloud's standard 5GB of email / storage will come gratis to folks already using iOS 5 and Lion. Take note that if it's iTunes Match you're after (and you live in the states), you'll have to sit tight a few more weeks (http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/04/itunes-match-hits-us-end-of-october-for-24-99/) yet.
