iPad 2 space taken called "other"

[michaelrm]

My iPad2 is using 6GB under the designation of "other". What could be taking that kind of space? I am running the latest iOS, 5.1.1.

This is the definition I found from Apple's support forum:

"Other" includes data such as contact information and photos assigned to contacts, calendar events, Safari bookmarks/cookies/history, notes created with the Notes application, SMS messages, email stored locally or cached, and 3rd party application data created and stored by the application.
