In a move that was perhaps somewhat expected, Apple has now taken the opportunity to push out an additional iOS update, taking their mobile operating system to version 5.1.1. Apple have obviously felt the need to quickly implement some changes and fixes into iOS in a response to some criticisms about the performance of the new iPad. The official iOS 5.1.1 change log offers the following details:

The iOS 5.1.1 update is now available to users as both an iTunes and OTA update. We have the download links below for individual devices, however, if you are an iDevice user who is currently on an untethered jailbreak on iOS 5.0.1 then the recommendation as always is that you stay as far away as possible from this 5.1.1 update. Although certain members of individual development teams have shown off an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.1, there is currently no way to distribute this publicly and no timescales at all for a workable jailbreak for this new update.
Non-jailbroken users are safe to go ahead and download the iOS 5.1.1 update as they see fit, which can be achieved by either plugging the device into iTunes and selecting the ‘Check for updates’ button or by navigating to Settings -> Software Update on the device itself and checking if an over-the-air update is available.
