I'm not sure how they were installed but I have no need for two apps, called Messages and Reminders respectively. But unlike all my other apps there appears to be no way to remove them. No 'x' gets displayed on their vibrating icons. Are these a result of my updating to iOS 5 a few weeks ago? How do I proceed please?

Messages and Reminders are built-in Apple Apps and can't be removed.

If you updated to iOS 5 a few weks ago, you are trailing badly. Built-in apps cannot be removed, but are easily ignored.
Thanks both, understood.
BTW, presumably iOS5 is the latest version for my original iPad?

Thanks. Looks like I'm up-to-date then, as that's what I see in Settings, followed by '(9B206').
I se from that helpful wiki article that, thankfully, I no longer need to use a PC USB connection and iTunes to get any further iOS update. Do I actually have to do anything to initiate this please? Or will I one day revisit my Settings and find I'm on 5.1.2 or whatever?

There are not going to be any further iOS updates for you to access by any means. 5.1.1 is the end of the line for the original iPad. If you want a more up to date OS, you're going to need a more up to date iPad.
