iOS 5.1.1 Released

[Maura]

MacRumors reports that Apple has just released iOS 5.1.1 for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. The update primarily fixes some bugs and has some small improvements, including the following, courtesy of Apple:

- Improves reliability of using HDR option for photos taken using the Lock Screen shortcut
- Addresses bugs that could prevent the new iPad from switching between 2G and 3G networks
- Fixes bugs that affected AirPlay video playback in some circumstances
- Improved reliability for syncing Safari bookmarks and Reading List
- Fixes an issue where 'Unable to purchase' alert could be displayed after successful purchase

The new update is compatible with the third-generation iPad, iPad 2 and original iPad, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS, as well as the iPod touch fourth-generation and third-generation. The update is available either as an over-the-air update, or via iTunes or Apple’s website.

As AppleInsider notes, this is the first update since March, and isn’t quite as exciting as that one, which added Japanese support for Siri and a new way to access the iPhone’s Camera via the quick lock screen.

They sort of patched the mobile safari exploit where a website could use Javascript to display a spoofed web address into the address bar. All it does it shows a blank description in the address bar when spoofed. Hardly a worthwhile patch for that issue.

I was seeing the "Unable to purchase"alert. It happened for App updates as well as when I purchased a new App.
