iOS 4.3.1 is now LIVE!!!

It has only been a couple of weeks since the release of iOS 4.3, but Apple has already released an update. iOS 4.3.1 is now available via iTunes for the GSM iPhone 4 (yes, you CDMA users are still out of luck), the iPhone 3GS, iPad 2, original iPad, and third- and fourth-generation iPod touches.

The truth of the mater is Apple really needed a good reason to fix the security hole in 4.3 which allowed the iPad 2 to be jailbroken 2 days after it's release!!!

According to Apple, this update contains improvements and other bug fixes including:

• Fixes an occasional graphics glitch on iPod touch (4th generation)
• Resolves bugs related to activating and connecting to some cellular networks
• Fixes image flicker when using Apple Digital AV Adapter with some TVs
• Resolves an issue authenticating with some enterprise web services

The release notes don't make specific reference to fixing some of the battery issues reported around the Web or patching iPad 2 jailbreak vulnerabilities, though rumors had suggested that iOS 4.3.1 would address both of these topics. It's possible, however, that they (and other fixes) could fall under Apple's umbrella of general bug fixes.
