HT4623 Can I update my 1st generation iPad with the new iOS software update?

I have the first generation iPad, and It seems I am no longer able to update iOS.  My applications seem to quit suddenly and my iPad seems to almost be un-usable.  Safari seems to be the application that hardly ever works.  Is there a solution? 

You can't update your iPad past iOS 5.1.1
Many iPad 1 owners reported slow downs with iOS 5.
Under the Settings app, General category under About, how much storage capacity does your iPad have left?
You could try a hard restart or reset by holding down the sleep/on-off button and home button simultaneously.
Once the screen goes black, wait about two seconds, then let both buttons go.
See if this changes anything.
Good Luck!
