- Improves voice recognition for Australian users using dictation
- Contains security improvementsiOS 5.0.1 beta introduces a new way for developers to specify files that should remain on device, even in low storage situations.
The last note about files addresses an iOS 5.0 issue raised by Marco Arment.
There’s no longer anywhere to store files that don’t need to be backed up (or can’t be, by the new policy) but shouldn’t be randomly deleted.
The iOS 5.0 policy introduced issues for apps that wished to store offline data. Apple appears to have addressed this issue in 5.0.1.

Now, can they PLEASE fix the Safari crashing issue on the iPad 1?! That one's the most infuriating, as I actually added multitasking gestures using a modified version of redsn0w that doesn't apply a jailbreak.
umm you always need a jailbreak.. ios is crap with no BJ..:mad:Thanks a lot. I told my wife that my iOS needed a BJ and now I have the imprint of an iPhone on the side of my head.
Agreed! Really glad they're adding this functionality.
