Q: Why cant I see ANY previous purchases under the "purchased" tab?

I bought the new ipad and was using the app store to locate previous apps under the "purchased" tab just fine.  I left the house and went to dinner, came back and tried to continue only to see an empty screen under the purchased tab.  I can go hunt around for the apps through the store but that's incredibly inconvenient.  I turned on icloud.  I even tried wiping the entire ipad and reseting to defaults, but its gotten me no where.  Any thoughts/ideas?  Googling this has been rather unproductive.  Thanks for your help!

iPad, iOS 5.1.1

    I have an iPad 2 and am having the same problem.  I discovered the eerie ability to tap on the blank screen and have an individual app appear.  I can't update current apps nor download new apps either.  The only way I am able to do anything is if I am hooked up to my laptop.  I have tried restoring, resetting, looking at my sign in information to make sure everything is the same, etc.  To no avail.   I haven't called apple tech yet as it appears now I'm not the only one and this seems to be an iPad specific problem.  If anyone hears anything or figures it out I'm sure we will all consider you our Hero for sharing!!!!

     

    One more observation and question:  I can't remember if this was the case; when I go to settings and click on iCloud it lists everything except the apps.  Didn't they used to be listed on there also?  I'm wondering if its the Cloud causing some of the problems.  If I don't get this resolved soon I think I'm going to delete my iPad from the Cloud and see if that changes anything.
