Seriously, does anyone at this site ever check their facts?
Obviously the article says that it has not appeared on the site yet, but it can at any second. Perhaps AI should have put quotation marks on released. Not a big deal.
Safari news release was pulled though. At least we have a hint about the GM (candidate) of iOS 4. Maybe if we're lucky Safari 5 will actually show up today -- or at least they will put it on hold for last minute fix and then announce it AFTER it is actually available.

Or maybe they could have actually checked to see if it was released and then gone with a headline that wasn't wrong. Or even changed the story and headline once they figured out they botched it. But no.
Aah, it's just AI, who cares if the info is right or not?
What's the betting we STILL won't have a Google UK search? The only work around at present is to use a hex editor. Very annoying for UK users and people have been complaining about it for years.
I hope to be proven wrong here...
And you **NEED** a Google UK search why exactly?
To have LESS features on the landing google page than the american version?
Or in the misguided opinion that the searches include more regional content for the UK?
Just tested it out. No tabs on top (which means I will stick to chrome which does not eat away my screen space). A welcome addition of the blue loading bar (they brought it back from 3. Other then that this is basically safari 4 for my usage scenario, I doubt I will use the reader option. As far as speed, it is now about as fast as Chrome, though latest webkits have been just as fast.
Apparently they dropped Tiger support, let's hope this helps with lean-ness...
EDIT: Downloading now in SW Update...
Where are you coming from? I'm running Tiger, and Safari 5 downloaded just fine (I haven't actually restarted and installed it yet, as I have to leave).
EDIT: It's actually Safari 4.1 for Tiger - I installed it, and several hours later I'm finally back and running on Safari 4.0.5. Safari 4.1 kept crashing (it wouldn't even start up), even after I removed ClickToFlash and SafariBlock (my only extras). I had to go to my backup clone to get a Safari that would work (it wouldn't let me re-install 4.0.5 on my hard drive, even after I deleted 4.1). Tiger users beware.

Because of Gizmodo this is actually much more exciting than the iPhone announcement and demos today.
And unfortunately, its not that exciting. In the last 7 years its gone from revolutionary to behind everything not called internet explorer.

¿Que? It's always faster than Firefox and Opera, and plays leapfrog with Chrome with V8 v. Nitro.

Get ready! Apple's developer site says "We'll be back soon" for the iPhone and Safari dev portals.

pictures are slowly coming live.

Eh? "Behind" as in:
a) with MORE of the standards implemented than all others,
b) providing new exciting functionality FIRST (css 3d transforms and animations, canvas, et al)
c) FASTER (or leapfrogging top performer) and with KILLER JS engine
d) INTERGRATED into OS X
e) with NICE features (Snapback, Top Sites, Web Inspector, Dashboard support, now Reader, Extensions et al)
f) with new PROTECTION from flash and plugin crashes a la Chrome (Webkit2)
Check Software Update. I just installed it and I'm writing this message using it.
As am I.

Faster, yes but the UI seems a little dated and there are way too many page compatibility concerns.
