Apple’s iOS5, which will be released this fall, will have over 200 functions such as iMessage and updated alert functions. Users in Japan will be also able to download for free an “earthquake early warning” function. It will be linked to the government’s early-detection service, which can provide a few seconds advance warning prior to an earthquake hitting. The new notification can be activated or deactivated from within the Notifications pane of an iPhone’s settings. If it is left on, the battery will require charging more often.

Corrections: there is no such device as “iPad touch”, and if you meant to say “iPod touch” then that would also be incorrect- the feature is only for 3G-enabled devices (iPhone).
iOS5 will not go on “sale” in the fall. It will be a free update.”It is rare for Apple to add a function like an earthquake early warning system because iPad touch and previous iPhones do not have it” – what? that sentence doesn’t even make sense.
