Just a few minutes after Apple admitted there were battery problems with its iOS 5.0 upgrade, the company seeded a beta version 5.0.1 of the software to developers that fixes that bug and more.
In the prerelease version of iOS 5.0.1 for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, Apple says the new software:
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
In addition to those fixes, Apple announced in the release that "iOS 5.0.1 beta introduces a new way for developers to specify files that should remain on device, even in low storage situations."
According to Engadget, the changelog of this build 9A402 beta version of the software also fixes trouble with iCloud document synching.

In addition, that ability to use the new four-finger gestures in the original iPad will be a welcome return of the feature, which had appeared in early betas for all iPads, but for some reason was removed from the shipping version of iOS 5.0.
