New Update

What's suppose to be so much better about this software update?

Just as software manufacturers provide updates for your main computer, Apple occasionally updates iPad system software to fix problems or offer enhanced features. It's a good idea to occasionally check for an updated version of the iPad operating system .

It wasn't advertised as a iOS 5.1 feature, but my iPad 1 and 2 are much improved on iOS 5.1 over iOS 5 and 5.0.1. On the two earlier versions, I had many RAM-related crashes (identified via diagnostics logs), especially on iPad 1. On iOS 5.1, my iPad 1 and 2 are working as smoothly as when I originally got them.

update went smoothly on my ipad2. no issues, so far.
i had previously let itunes 10.6 download, but not install ios5.1 immediately. i waited a few days to read reports before pulling the trigger on it.
