After only two days, Apple has released iOS 5.0.1 beta 2 to developers following the release of the iOS 5.0.1 beta.
The iOS 5.0.1 beta addressed battery life issues, patched the Smart Cover security flaw, and added enhanced multitasking gestures to the original iPad. iOS 5.0.1 beta 2 seems to be a minor update.
Developers can check for 5.0.1 beta 2 in the iOS Dev Center and also check for an over-the-air update on devices running iOS 5.0.1 beta 1.

Fix the title
I like the “story developing” at the end as if this is some kind of scandal,not just information.
its showing access denied in safari when i try to download the firmware file. OTA shows only 5.0.1 update available .. im already on 5.0.1 ..confusing !
Does it update the baseband firmware too?
A series of two betas in successive days!
Probably depends on what you’re updating from.
I doubt there’s an update for the baseband from iOS 5, but if you would update from iOS 4 you’d of course get your baseband updated.
