Wow. The new iPhone is just around the corner? Just a week ago iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 4 released, MacRumors reports that Apple already released iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 5 and a new version of the iTunes 8.2 pre-release to developers.

Today’s release is a bit of a surprise, coming just eight days after the release of the fourth beta when Apple had consistently been releasing beta versions to developers at two-week intervals. With only a month to go until Apple’s sold out Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco where the iPhone OS 3.0 is certain to be a featured topic of discussion, Apple may be increasing the pace of developer releases to begin polishing things for the public showing.
