Changelog:

iOS 5.0.1 beta contains improvements and other bug fixes including:
– Fixes bugs affecting battery life
– Adds Multitasking Gestures for original iPad
– Resolves bugs with Documents in the Cloud
– Improves voice recognition for Australian users using dictation
– Contains security improvements
iOS 5.0.1 beta introduces a new way for developers to specify files that should remain on device, even in low storage situations.

Apple has told AllThingsD that an update for battery life on iOS 5 will be coming in a few weeks. That’s mean we should expect iOS 5.0.1 beta 2 in the next few weeks.

Like most developer betas, you will need an iOS developer account to download/install it.
