"Trouble" with app store downloads

Question

Starting a few days ago, I started getting the following message the first time I enter my password to download an app every day (and just the first time I try to log in every day):
"Unable to purchase
"the-name-of-free-app-I-downloaded" and 4 other items could not be purchased at this time. Please try again later. 
OK"
It started when I tried to download some stupid free app called "ican-print" (it doesn't seem like it was a problem with the app, since it began before the app was even successfully downloaded). It popped up with an odd message which I don't recall exactly, but it was either the same message as the quoted above, or similar to it, and now the first time I enter my password everyday, I see that message. 
I think my wifi dropped off right as it was starting the app download, which confused the iPod. When the connection was restored, I was able to retry the download, and it worked fine (poopy app though), but it's like my iPod thinks I was never able to download it. 
Regarding the part where it says "and 4 other items", that number has been slowly (and curiously) rising over the past couple weeks. I've downloaded dozens of apps in that time, but while it (presumably) started without saying "and X other items", it soon changed to "1 other items", through where it is today, at 4. The wifi has not dropped off during an app download since, so the additional "and others" notification is not because I keep losing connections, but sometimes it's just another number higher. 
Despite what it's saying, it's always able to download the app, and isn't really malfunctioning at all...  Other than an annoying (and somewhat troublesome) notification the first time I log in each day. 
I took a picture of the notification this morning, and could upload the pic if anyone thinks that might help (although I quoted it word for word). 
Thanks in advance guys....  Sorry for the long winded, occasionally redundant post, I just want to make sure I impart any potentially pertinent information.

I am having a problem downloading apps to my iPhone4 with OS5.1.1 It takes a few minutes, stops halfway through, and says unable to download. This started last week sometime. But I can download apps fine through my computer. This is highly annoying even does it when I just try to update. Please help! :( I also took a screenshot of the message.
