iOS 5 Works Just Fine On iPhone 3GS

reports coming out ios 5 beta works fine on 3gs, relief since couple of weeks ago rumored 3gs wouldn't work @ all. according apple (emphasis added):

quote

unfortunately, apple doesn't spell out what, exactly, won't work on slower iphone 3gs , third generation ipod touch. research 9to5mac , banolka on youtube gives ideas, @ least in beta.

know works:

- notification center
- twitter integration
- newsstand , periodical store
- grid lines , exposure/brightness settings in camera app
- reading list in safari

, doesn't (but it's short list, far):

- image editing (red eye, cropping, magic wand)
- reader missing (but there disagreement if hasn't been implemented yet)



so, looks 3gs users in shape going forward, but, of course, of may change beta period goes on , closer release fall. might difficult implement 3gs feature doesn't exist yet. reported earlier today nuance/siri voice features might still included in ios 5 , wouldn't surprised if particular feature not enabled on relatively underpowered 3gs.
