Over-The-Air iOS Software Update Saves 700MB of Downloading

iOS 5 Beta 4 is the first software update to be downloadable using Apple's new over-the-air updating system. As noted by @iam_lost, "iOS 5 beta 4 over-the-air update is a mere 133 MB, compared to the chunky 824 MB .ipsw file." 

iOS 5 OTA Upgrade
The over-the-air software update only downloads code that has changed or been updated in the update, thus making for a much smaller download. In this case, 691 MB smaller.



New amazing feature has been ported for the first time to iOS-based devices via iOS 5 beta 4. Apple has just announced that iOS 5's WiFi-sync functionality is now available with Windows PCs starting from iOS 5 beta 4.
