So there are 2 ways on activating iOS 5 beta 1.

You can use the hack for beta 1, but i’m sure its not going to work in beta 2. Your best bet is to get added to dev list or get a dev account, so you can fly through all the betas without waiting for a hack each time. iOS 4 had 5 betas, thats a lot of changes in 3 months, we will be expecting this iOS version to drop in the fall(Sept).
