iOS 5.0.2 Coming Soon to Address Battery Issues? iOS 5.1 to Bring New Siri Integration?

What 5.1 really needs is refinement for Notification Center. An icon in the taskbar to notify you of existing notifications would be a great start.
????????....are you really serious?
That functionality has been around for ages......!!!
Settings......Brightness and Wallpaper....on the IPad...
...and...
Settings...Brightness......on the IPhone....

.....that would add "Windows" clutter to an Apple device!
perhaps these system based commands won't need to connect to Apple's servers?
i think that's pretty cool though
"allow me to adjust my brightness" - brightness control appears
"turn on/off bluetooth"
"turn on/off wifi"
"turn on/off tethering"
"turn on/off airplane mode"
Impossible!
You must be doing something else to your system that is draining your battery....5.0.1 did fix the "standard" drainage problem......according to general consensus!

My thought is that you could have Siri ready to receive a command then at just the right moment you would use voice to take the photo. This way you could use both hands to steady the iPhone or you could hold an object in one hand and the phone in the other. Presumably there would be a way to preview the photo while using Siri.
I haven't even updated to 5.0.1 yet, I was getting pretty bad battery but not terrible like some people. Out of nowhere in the past two days my battery has been dying close to 10% an hour on standby. This is ridiculous, and I can't fathom why this problem has just started out of nowhere if I haven't been doing anything different. To me that would seem to suggest some hardware issue?
Now I'm getting annoyed. The no audio on outgoing calls problem intermittently, and now this terrible battery.

As some others have mentioned, a really nice addition would be if Siri could act on some simple commands without accessing the server or needing an internet connection.
Say what ...finally!
Siri has been out just over 30 days and you say 'finally' to an enhancement.

Shouldn't you be updating to the latest version of iOS instead of complaining about your problems first? It's over the air now, what's your excuse? Afraid you won't have something to complain about? lol
No it wouldn't. LockInfo, a jailbreak app, managed to do it very tastefully.
Everyone saying that telling siri to turn off/on bluetooth, wifi, and so forth is a good thing have to get off Apple's nuts. Seriously, that is rediculous. It comes to the point when something that sounds "cool", is really just inconvenient. This has been said countless times, why not just add toggles to the notifacation bar? I mean, sbs settings is the #1 (or #2) feature downloaded from a jb ios device... doesn't that say something here? If you want to give siri that option, thats fine but also add the option to turn off obvious settings from the notication center so you won't shaft non-iphone 4s owners.
They have that already, the Home button. Since the multi tasking bar is more of a quick launch bar....
Apple is really going to shoot itself in the foot and loose all cred if they keep releasing products clearly not ready for the public. Too many beta's and bad builds. The public will not tolerate this kind of bs if they keep doing this. We work hard for our money and the iPhone 4g was a slap in the face to the consumer with its inferior death grip. It was on many trades do not buy list and now this laughable ios5.1 build which is making iPhone 4s battery issues worse and making iPads crash? People are protesting all over the world due to corporate greed and Apple is right up there with the greediest. Android is no joke and will win a big victory if Apple keeps playing games with its customers.
Siri is a beta and should NOT be in the publics hands yet.
Just my 2 cent rant. Truthfully yours
