Apple Releases iOS 5.0.1 to Address Battery Life Issues [Updated]

That's the rub, see there's no Cydia on the iPad in question, because no jail breaking was supposed to happen. Just enabling multitasking (and mirroring). But you don't install Cydia during the operation. I got this advice from Lifehacker myself, who claimed that there was no jailbreak. Now, am I jailbroken or not?
In any case, OTA will not work if you did this multi gesture hack on the iPad 1.
No.
There is a caller ID issue in iOS 5 with specific Middle Eastern countries (for me specifically Kuwait).
Country code of Kuwait is +965.
If we store a number in our address book as say Joe and his saved number is +965 5555 5555.
Like in previous iterations of iOS if Joe called you inside the country it would only need to register 5555 5555 when the call is coming in. However iOS5 thinks +965 5555 5555 AND 5555 5555 are completely different numbers so it does not display the name of the contact calling.
This has been documented in the following places:

Tell me about it, I don't have Wifi here at work so I'm stuck with iTune and downloading the whole 800mb+ file --- FAIL
Yes but it is an issue as the location services icon is on all the time. Thats not correct. This is obviously a bug which hasn't been fixed.

How exactly are people freakin judging battery performance 10 minutes after installing the update? Of course, after an install everything will be faster and better! The whole damn thing just installed, rebooted, cleared caches etc. Just wait a day or two then post your findings.
Installed 5.0.1 and my battery is continuing to drain down to nothing at speed with no apps open and almost everything switched off.
I'm returning it tomorrow.
Did you shut it down and restart it, or just turn it off and on with the Home button?
...but if you wait a day or two you won't be one of the first to say it really did fix the bug.
As I've been saying since Beta 1... this will do NOTHING for the battery life of the device. It is due to the more aggressive hardware only.
Either accept the fact that with increased speed you will decrease battery life, or go buy an old Blackberry.
This patch is for two things, 1. make the media happy as it seems like Apple is paying attention. 2. Fix holes to keep a jailbreak from being released.
SUCKAS!!!

As it is checking your location all the time, to be prepared to switch time zone, of course it is using the location services all the time. When the location services are in use, the arrow is there. The arrow doesn't necessarily mean that there is battery drainage. There is only battery drainage when the GPS is actually used, and there is no visual way to tell if it is.
This is not a bug, this is by design.
(Though I would want it to also indicate if the GPS is in use or not, maybe with a red arrow when the GPS is in use or something like that.)

Wait till you get home.
Doesn't explain the poor battery life on the iPhone 4 since iOS 5.0 (Same hardware)
