“The Gold Master build of iOS 5.1 has been in a vigorous quality assurance phase for the past three weeks, with extensive testing being done internally by Apple as well as by various carriers/partners,” Chronic Wire reports.
“Apple is not signing the Gold Master firmware on their external servers yet,” Chronic Wire reports. “This means that leaked screenshots can only come from a device that belongs to someone geniunely testing the firmware, so they are probably going to be hard to find until official release, which should be in the coming days.

I bet this will be one very buggy OS – again. 5 months in the making!
iOS5 was a bold new move to free the iDevices from a Desktop. Buggy maybe – but at version 5.1 – lets hope a lot of fixes occur.
“we are do…” Really? What are the bugs you imply?
Goddamn fucking crashing Safari browsers for one.
Wish the iPhone 5 would come out…….we are do for new phones and would like to get the latest iPhone. Been carrying the HTC Incredible for 2 years now. Our upgrade month is April, but will probably never see an iPhone released at that time. Seems to be July or October time frame.
Patience young grasshopper… patience.
lol
Um, you are aware that the iPhone 4s came out in the Fall last year? You, me and everyone else can expect it around October.
No one wants to buy that piece of shit 4S you retarded moron.
The iPhone 4S is great. You will be waiting forever for a new iPhone because a new one comes out every year. Get it now!
Hope this fixes the Back Button and the crashing on my iPad, that started when I went to IOS 5.
Hope Safari stops crashing so much!

YES a big show.
Apple TV may not turn out to be what you expect, but I’m not expecting it to be a full fledged television.
What do you think it will be?
Apple TV that support apps.
All I care about is them fixing the abysmal music player. I can’t maintain the custom sorting I have for my playlists. I have a Newly Added playlist that sorts according to most recently added and iOS 5 refuses to display them in the same order. Beyond aggravating. They also need to ditch the covere art playlist format. I don’t use my iPad to look at my music, I use it to listen to my music. The cover art is not related to the name of the playlist so I have to fight my way through all the color to see the names. I will probably not upgrade if 5.1 doesn’t fix this.
