iOS 5.1.1 for iPad released; fixes "Unable to purchase" alert & more.

Apple has published an update for iOS today that is available for download either through iTunes on a PC/Mac or directly on the iPad. If you choose the latter option, make sure you do so via WiFi. Personally, I'm happy to see that the update contains a fix for the annoying "Unable to purchase" alert I have been getting on my iPad after purchasing a magazine in the Newsstand store. All my attempts to solve that was vain, even a factory reset.

This update contains improvements and bug fixes, including:

• 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

Skype for iOS updated with auto app restart and improved stability.

Skype posted an update for iOS today. Among the usual bug fixes, I note two notable features. The first one is the app auto restart function that restarts the app after an unexpected shutdown. I will now have to wait for Skype to crash to see how it works. Now that I come to think of it, I never experienced a Skype crash on my iPad.

The second feature is the ability to move the small video screen around. That's the small screen that shows your face and surroundings during a Skype video call. Now, you can move it around using your finger.

New features:

-Ability to move own preview video

-App auto restarts if unex­pect­ed­ly shut­down 
-Improved acces­si­bil­i­ty 
-Improved sta­bil­i­ty 
-New sign in screen 
-Other minor UI improve­ments
-Bug fixes
