"Earlier today, Apple finally released iOS 5.0.1. The update includes a fix for battery life issues that some iPhone 4S users are experiencing, Siri improvements for Australian users, multitasking gestures for the first generation iPad, and an important fix for the Smart Cover security flaw that was revealed last month."

"You can hold your iPad, stand it up with the smart cover or a tripod, or lean it against something. Many times there isn't space on the desk or kitchen counter to have the iPad nearby.

I just updated the page with some new speakers.

I would give my eye teeth to attend this... cost is an issue right now. Sounds amazing! If you need ideas on where to spread the word, let me know. I'll send this out to the Apple Distinguished Educator list for sure.
