Problem Downloading/Updating Apps

Just recently tonight I've had a problem with downloading and/or updating the apps on my iPhone 4S. I noticed I had some updates available so I clicked "Update All". The 3 apps never updated and are still grayed out and deemed as "Waiting". I've restarted and shut down my phone several times but this hasn't helped at all. I even tried downloading a new app to see if that helped but I got the same issue occurred. I'm not sure if the problem is with me or the App Store or what?

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1

Try removing the apps, then reinstalling them.

Just to say, same problem here since yesterday. 😟 I'm able to update apps within iTunes on my MacBook Pro, but not from within the App Store on my iPhone 4 anymore. It just says „Warten…“ (waiting), but nothing happens at all.

@xtremecarbon: Of course I tried removing and reinstalling the app as well as restarting my iPhone, but have the same experience: The download starts, says „waiting“ and nothing more happens.

Well, I finally gave up last night and charged it when I went to bed. When I woke up this morning they had all downloaded. So I don't know if it was stalled or power related or what? Hopefully I won't have any more of these issues. Oh and I also tried the removing and reinstalling and they just resume whir "waiting" status.
