"Unable to download application" error messages

"Could not be downloaded at this time"

I've been getting these messages for weeks when trying to download or update apps. It doesn't happen all the time but often enough. I thought the latest ios was supposed to fix this? I get an error message in itunes when updating apps to.

Any ideas?

No I haven't. Can I fresh install then restore a backup or would that be pointless? Just thinking about gamesaves, messages etc. I did noticed this error message on someone elses phone to though when I noticed they needed to update loads of apps.

I would fresh install, restore from backup, and hopefully that resolves the issue.

I've had it happen sometimes, but I read somewhere that it normally happens when the app is being changed e.g. the price is being modified etc. - though I don't know how that would affect the Updates...

It usually occurs when you have a struggling internet connection, so are you sure that you're not being disconnected on the occasional download?
