Mine won't update. It keeps saying: "contacting the iPad software update server" but it won't go through. HELP!

That's cool, although the pronunciation is pretty straightforward compared to english. Otherwise sounds like it works exaclty the same as any siri app outside of the US.
Trouble With Downloading 5.1 Update - DNS Fix
I was having trouble getting my iPad updated to iOS 5.1 . . I kept getting a network connection error, both when doing an OTA via wi-fi and via itunes. Finally, this morning, I changed my DNS Server information to one of the DNS's from OpenDNS(208.67.222.222). The download / upgrade began instantly. Either some ISPs (mine is Mediacom) have blacklisted the upgrade server, or it's IP address is new and hasn't fully completed publishing across the internet.

Battery life is back to normal now on the 4S for me! Hooray!
It's even better than that for me!
When I originally got my 4S it would drop from 100% to 90-94% overnight. Then the bug hit and it used to be down to 80% - or lower - overnight.
This morning it was still at 100% and I checked my e-mail, checked the App Store for upgrades, and had a quick look at MR before it dropped to 99%
Changing DNS is helping indeed! This is a good link for those who doesn't how to do that: http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using.html
Thanks, pjschwartz!

Goddammit I wish I wasn't jailbroken... jailbreaks getting harder and harder to justify, I only need one Cydia app otherwise I'd be perfectly happy to give up on JBing and just enjoy things like easy updates and now, good battery life. iOS 5 most definitely screwed up the battery life of my iPhone 4, iOS 4 was way better.
Verizon iPhone 4 + iOS 5.1 = Better battery life
I've noticed that my iPhone 4 battery life seems to have really improved in the last 18 hours or so since I installed the OTA upgrade from 5.0.1 to 5.1.
My battery was typically dropping 1% every 3-4 minutes while surfing in Safari on Wi-Fi on iOS 5.0.1 and now it seems to be dropping 1% every 7-8 minutes. Not sure that my battery life necessarily doubled, but it sure seems that it will be lasting longer.

Maybe it's just a placebo effect, but I really feel like my iPad 1 is a lot snappier than it was. Opening the Video app used to take around 8 seconds and clicking the URL bar in Safari usually had a 3-4 second lag. It is not instantaneous but seems to have cut this time dramatically.
Am I nuts or has anyone else noticed this?

How isnt Siri not in Japanese now and not Spanish? The second most spoken language in the world!?
Maybe Japanese buy way more phones than spanish speaking folks
Actually I am pretty sure Apple is working on all the major languages, just a matter of time...
My 4S still drained 7% sitting idle over night.So how's 5.1 doin for everyone?
faster?
Better battery life?
Not as bad as before but still not acceptable in that it used to only drain 0-2%.
