We have the following fixes:

  • Fix for iPhone 3GS battery level reporting
  • Fix for app crashes on launch
  • Fix for app crashes while using Japanese Kana Keyboard

There's also a bunch of security fixes:

  • Playing a maliciously crafted mp4 audio file may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution 
  • Viewing a maliciously crafted TIFF image may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution
  • A person with physical access to a locked device may be able to access the user's data
  • Accessing a maliciously crafted FTP server could result in an unexpected application termination, information disclosure, or arbitrary code execution
  • Mail may load remote audio and video content when remote image loading is disabled

I've installed it on my iPod touch and everything seems to work fine.
