  • Fixes bugs affecting battery life
  • Adds Multitasking Gestures for original iPad
  • Resolves bugs with Documents in the Cloud

  • Contains security improvements
iOS 5.0.1 beta also introduces a new way for developers to specify files that should remain on device, even in low storage situations. If you can't wait for the update, and you have battery issues, the bug is believed to be a Location Service bug with "Setting Time Zone" -- You can turn off the preference (Settings>Location Services>System Services) to see if it improves your battery life. If you travel between different time zones, you may want to leave it on.
