hi guys,
I just found out that d update option in 'apps>manage apps>update' is not working (automatically) as I am not shown any available updates for already present apps n ALSO not yet recieved pr1.1 update.

I then manually updated few apps frm ovi store... It was only during the update that I received a software Update notification for d respective app.... I hav rebooted d device a several times but of no use...I guess this is why i haven't received d OTA pr1.1 update so far... what can I do??.... plzzz help!! Thanks.

Mine says that for applications as well. I updated my N9 to pr1.1 through NSU (Nokia Software Updater) the first time. The times after that I reflashed using pr1.1 from navifirm and one click flasher.

Follow this guide to get pr1.1 on your N9:

In regards to the updates part of applications, I don't ever depend on that. Ovi store and maemo.org are my places to go to update them.
