iOS 5.0.1 Available to Install

Today Apple released their first update to iOS 5 ahead of expectations. Among the usual bug fixes, this update brings aid to the dwindling battery life experienced by many owners of the iPhone 4S. Users of the beta have reported that the improvements have been ideal and they can make it through the day no problem. If you weren't lucky enough to test it out early, go run Software Update on your iPhone (Settings > General > Software Update) and get it right now. It took a few minutes for our phones to realize an update was available so be patient and don't worry—it's there. iPad 1 users will also be glad to know that the update brings back multitasking gestures—something that previously required a little hacking to enable.

Note: Jailbreakers should not upgrade until there's an iOS 5.0 downgrade option. Keep an eye on the iPhone Dev Team's blog and Twitter feed for progress updates.

iPhone 4S Go Live In 22 New Countries
iPhone 4S

If you’re one of the many Apple fanbois outside of the original seven countries in which Apple initially launched the iPhone 4S, I feel your pain. Though I placed my pre-order early, “complications” at AT&T have forced me to endure another 18-21 days and suffice it to say, I’ve turned a nice pukey shade of green with envy. But it’s possible you may get your new iPhone 4S before I do.

Apple has today opened up pre-orders in 22 new countries, including Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. The 4S will be available in-store next Friday, October 28, reports MacRumors.

However, a good number of those new countries don’t have an online Apple store, meaning that the option to pre-order an unlocked version of the handset direct from Apple only extends to the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Singapore, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. Still, if you’re from Estonia, Latvia, Leichtenstein, Lithuania, or Slovakia, you may still be able to place a pre-order on a subsidized on-contract iPhone 4S through your local carrier of choice.

Though the iPhone 4S is scheduled to be available October 28, Apple doesn’t seem to be standing behind that so firmly at this point. The 4S sold 1 million units in its first 24 hours of pre-order availability, and a record-breaking 4 million units over its first weekend of in-store availability. With demand like that, it’s no surprise that Apple is merely giving a “1-2 week” estimate for shipments.

iOS 4.3.3 Update Arrives with Location-Tracking Fix
 
Gizmodo : Apple's actionable response to the iSpy iPhone tracking controversy has arrived in the form of iOS update 4.3.3, available for download now. As promised and suspected, the update reduces the size of the location database cache, stops backing up the cache to iTunes, and deletes the cache when Location Services is turned off.

So sleep easier tonight, iPhone and iPad users! Your phone is now just as forgetful about where you've been as you are. [iPhone 4, iPad,iPad 2]
