iOS 5.0.1 is now public followed by two betas for developers. The update is released specifically to fix iPhone 4S battery drain issue on iOS 5.

We have already covered an article for jailbreakers. If you wish to get iOS 5 jailbreak, you better stay away from iOS 5.0.1 update. Also it is not possible to save SHSH blobs of iOS 5 before you move to iOS 5.0.1, so if you upgrade to iOS 5.0.1 there will be no coming after Apple stops signing iOS 5.
