Apple fixes iPad 2 Smart Cover passcode security flaw with iOS 5.0.1

Now, with the release of iOS 5.0.1 beta, we've discovered that one of the new security fixes is a fix for this Smart Cover bug. It appears that Apple has fixed the issue by not allowing the iPad 2 to go to sleep by way of the Smart Cover closing while on the power off menu. iOS 5.0.1 should make its way onto everyone's iOS 5 devices in a few weeks." So it goes.
