it just means that it won't crash when iOS5 comes out based on the beta code. It's not made to support iOS5 features as the GM SDK has not been released to Dev's yet. It's basically bugs caused by 5.0 fixed using the 4.0 SDK.

Nope many apps like Angry birds and SBsettings work with iOS5 already.

You have to understand the difference between compatible with iOS 5 and requires iOS 5. The former just means that the app has been updated (using the iOS 4 SDK) so that it functions properly on iOS 5. The latter means that the app uses a feature that does not exist prior to iOS 5, and therefore that feature and/or the entire app will not work without iOS 5. Apps that use iOS 5-specific features cannot be submitted to the App Store yet.

also ones that have been updated using the iOS4 SDK with fixes for iOS5 can still have iOS5 related bugs as some coding can change from beta to GM.
