At least in part this seems to work by changing how the phone displays the charge left in the battery. When my phone restarted to apply the update, battery was 97%. It was 99% after restarting.
Reminds me of the "bars" thing.

Downloading right now in the US.
I love how so many of you are whining about having the option for OTA updates. You people will complain no matter what.
"Oh. I just won a quarter billion dollars from the lottery. But I have to drive all the way down to the office to claim it? That's ********."

Started downloading it, and it looked like it froze, and i got a message that said "Software update failed: An error occurred downloading iOS 5.0.1"
Because if you ever need to fully restore your device iTunes needs the full ipsw. So I guess apple doesn't want you to download the delta and the full ipsw.
My 4s is"checking for update..." right now.
No update for me?
Ok now both my 4s and iPad2 are downloading the update OTA!

Interesting. On my AT&T 4S it didn't show up about 15 minutes ago, so I just went ahead with the download on iTunes. It's nice to see how quickly this is rolling out. Does the OTA update take long to apply? iTunes still does the whole "download everything and restore" routine.
Yes, still nothing.
I'll give it a few more hours.
No big deal.
Hope they were busy and since they rushed this battery bug fix out I hope they didnt patch it.
We'll see though.
OTA is working for me over wifi
iPhone 4, iPad Gen 1
ATT, Virginia, USA
iPhone 4 update was 44.6 mb
iPad update was 39.6 mb
Total downtime, less than 18 mins,
Download took 2 mins
3 mins to prepare update
I got a question with a countdown (8-10seconds) if I wanted to install
then update installing took about 5 mins where the device is not useable, apple logo with status bar
reboot
2nd time apple logo and status bar, about 1.30
reboot
at the passcode screen

it might fix your your battery problem, if viagra does not
your phone is another matter
a figment of the imagination?
I live in Seattle. No OTA update yet for the iPad 2. iPhone 4S was already on the beta so I plugged into iTunes and it prompted to update and install the official one.
EDIT
Just got it!
