iOS 5.0.1 is now available

iOS 5.0.1 is now available as an over the air update for anyone with iOS 5.0 installed.

First make sure you do a back up.  

Then to install the new version goto Settings --> General --> Software Update 

Then tap "Download and Install"

After it downloads tap install or just let it be and it will install on its own.  

As mentioned on Ep 198 - this fixes bugs effecting battery life and adds multitasking gestures to the original iPad.

It also resolves bugs with documents and iCloud, Plus improved voice recoginition for Australian users.  

Even though the overall update (40 MB) is much much smaller than the old updates (>650 MB) - you should still make sure you have a good wifi connection for the download / update and that your iOS device is fully charged and / or plugged into power.  Depending on how many people are doing the update when you are - past experience shows it can be a slow process.

My recommendation - if you are not having battery issues - is to just wait until early next week (November 15th) after ep 199 of Tii comes out before updating.  

And as always - Jailbreaker and Unlockers - STAY AWAY from this update.
