iOS 5 compatible apps starting to appear in iTunes App Store, launch imminent?

iPhone users are you guys excited for iOS 5? If you are then you’re probably looking forward to iOS 5 optimized apps as well, much like how apps were being optimized for iPhone 4’s Retina display. While we do know some of features that iOS 5 will be bringing, it will be interesting to see what sort of apps will be developed for the platform along with how current apps are being optimized.

It seems that certain apps on iTunes have started listing themselves as being iOS 5 compatible and it has been approved by Apple. While no specific date for iOS 5 was mentioned, we do know that it is supposed to have a fall release date along with iCloud, so perhaps with these iOS 5 compatible apps starting to appear, perhaps the launch of the operating system could be much nearer than we think.
