anyone else experiencing worse battery life with iOS 5.0.1 on ipod touch?

There is an article on RedmondPie that states that the "iOS 5 Battery Woes Continue in iOS 5.0.1" and that Apple is looking into the matter. Hopefully we should get iOS 5.0.2 pretty soon to fix the battery issues once and for all. Also, it is a software issue, not a hardware one (just in case you were wondering).

I didn't think it was a hardware issue because on 5.0 it was even better then 4.x.x. I should of read the apple discussion thread before updating.

Yeah 5.0.1 is worse. Used to get 5 - 6 hours web browsing. That dropped to 3 - 4 hours. Gone back to 4.2.1 until the next update. Back to normal now, ie. Very good
 
I heard this problem had solved in ios 5.0.2 finally, but the final firmware haven't released.

I wish I saved my shsh blobs because that was the best firmware, and greenpoison could easily jailbreak it :D
