Release notes say battery life issues fixed, and Genius Mixes and Genius Playlists available for iTunes Match.

No mention of fixing the crippling Invalid SIM bug though :(

Where did you find the release notes?
 
If you look at the diagnostic logs, the crashes are always attributed to a lack of RAM. it may never get fixed. Even if it does, in the mean time, I would recommend using the Atomic Web Browser. It very rarely crashes for me, and has far more features then even the desktop version of safari. The frustrating issue of all of the tabs frequently reloading in safari is also not a problem with Atomic Web.

Thanks for the tip!

I guess the iPad doesn't use virtual memory, like desktop systems do?

What battery issue. There is no battery issue. There's something wrong with your setup, do a full reload and don't do a restore. There's something in your old setup messing up your battery life.

Apple's Release Notes for 5.1 disagree with that statement.
 
Genius Mixes and Genius Playlists finally available with iTunes Match on 5.1!

It's about freaking time. Let's hope there's more, like smart playlists with numeric limits actually using those limits. And Smart playlists being able to refer to other smart playlists.


iOS 5.1 for iPad, iPhone and iTunes 10.6 all downloading right now...

Where did you find the 10.6 download? Not on apple's website yet and I don't get it in Software Update or by checking in iTunes.

I guess I should have clarified new "features".... Bug fixes yes. And I said that because I'm running the test beta.

Which is still wrong considering there are new features listed in the release notes.
 
downloading complete....

got an error that I wasn't connected to power supply and battery is under 50%

Have to wait.
 
I think it's slowly pushed out to servers. I got it from Software Update on Lion. Once download started, it went pretty quickly.

iOS updates are almost done though download took quite long. iPhone 4S rebooting. :)
