I just checked software update on my ipad and found iOS 5.1 is available its downloading now!

Given the current state of Apple's servers, I think I'll wait!

All done pretty painless I can finally delete all them pics of my fingers and knees from my Photostream!

Wait 24 hours for the guinea pigs to OK it.

I'm not going to download it until the 5.1 SDK is available as well.

Updating iPad 2 & Iphone 4s via incremental Software Update now..... 'About 6 minutes remaining' :-S

Are you able to set a Due Date in Reminders now?

iOS 5.1 'Addresses bugs affecting battery life'

iOS 5.1 contains improvements and bug fixes, including:[LIST][*]Photos can be deleted from Photo Stream[*]Camera shortcut now always visible on Lock Screen for iPhone & iPod Touch[*]Camera face detection now highlights all detected faces[*]Redesigned camera app for iPad[*]Genius Mixes and Genius Playlists for iTunes Match subscribers[*]Audio for TV programmes and films on iPad optimised to sound louder & clearer[*]Podcast controls for playback speed and a 30-second rewind for iPad[*]Fixes an issue that occassionally caused audio to drop for outgoing calls.[/LIST]+ the battery life fixes mentioned above.

It's a pretty large update & taking its time to install after verification. iPhone now on 'black screen + Apple + progress bar'.

iPad just got to verifying update......

EDIT - Updated without issue. Now having a play. The update to the iPad camera app just seems to be movement of the 'shutter' button to thumb position halfway up the right hand side of the screen....

I've installed it, and really like the camera always on the lock screen! I have no idea why they stupidly didn't do this from the start?

Apart from the camera thing, anything else noticeable?

This is why i hate apple. There is no reason why this should only be on ipad.

The iPhone has always been able to do this, that's why it says iPad... Seems like your looking for a reason to hate Apple

I want a 30 sec fast forward to skip adds tbh.

I like the implementation, just last week I must have hit camera while putting my locked phone in my pocket and drained the battery from 80 to 30 in an hour or so lol...

Tbh, yes i could always drag the timeline on podcasts, now i think about it. You are right, i just hate apple.

But i do really like i no longer need to faff about taking a photo when my phone is locked. I like i can slide up from the photo icon too Just seems easier than tapping (strange )

edit: hang on, was this not in the changelists?

In your favour, you have to deal with them as a developer, I haven't has to deal with that side of Apple, it could be dreadful for all I know...

I noticed it wasn't in the change list, it was a pleasant surprise after the update lol

Just updated my iPad 1 and it's back to ts best.

No more lagging when typing, bit smoother all round

Keep getting 'server timed out message' when trying to get this

The update is causing my iPad 1 to crash even more in Safari than it did before, and lose all my open tabs in the process

A parallel universe I see.

That's just Apple's 'friendly' way of tapping you on the shoulder and letting you know that it's time to upgrade

My iPad hasnt crashed once since the upgrade, it was before...

I have as well

Fraid there aint enough on 5.1 to excite me.Tried 5.0.1 but had a couple of issues on my iPad 2 but have now downgraded back to 4.3.3,runs like a dream and the easiest no issues jailbreak out there.
