iOS 5.1: "Unlock to Camera" and more languages for Siri

Today, BGR has gotten a copy of a leaked version of iOS 5.1 and it has some interesting new feature.

"Unlock to Camera"

It seems that now you can just go to the camera from the lock screen buy just selecting the icon and sliding up, and as you are sliding you can see the camera app opening up. It should a lot faster and it will be a added convenience to a phone that still lacks a dedicated camera button.

Siri

The new version of Siri in iOS 5.1 has learned another language, Japanese. And from what we are told everything is smooth in the new language and there should be very few glitches.

This version of iOS supposedly has very few bugs and there are no major roadblocks. So it should come out within a few weeks, so stay tuned for that. Now the important question, how long is it going to take to jailbreak?

Apple announces Mac OS X Mountain Lion

Well, I did not believe it but, Apple has released a new version of Mac OS X, Mountain Lion! It has only been six months and it seems that there is a new version. I would think of this like "Snow Leopard", just an evolutionary upgrade. Check out the source link for more info and later we will install the Developer Preview, and have a video up soon!

iPad 3 to be announced early March

The rumor mill never stops does it? According to "AllThingsD" Apple is going to announce the next generation iPad during the first week of March at the Yerba Buena Center which is where Apple likes to give large announcements of this caliber. This would line up with last years announcement date of March 3 when the iPad 2 was announced. Now when the device will actually ship is still a mystery.

We expect the device to have the usual upgrades, the faster quad core A6 processor, increased amount of RAM (768-1024 MB), a better camera (higher quality sensor and optics), and the Retina display. As for the case, it is Apple we are talking about, but there doesn't seem to be major changes based on the leaked photos of the "supposed" back of the iPad 3. Stay tuned for more updates!
