iOS 5.1 'Pre-GM' Seed Leaked? Camera Slider, Japanese Siri

If it's true, then this is just a smart way to hide how slow the launching camera in iOS 5 is.
Sliding up can save at least a 1sec. for the system to start an app, when pressing a button is only a fraction of a second. :cool::apple:

Today's been quite a ride.

Just when you think things start dragging along, it goes BOOM and better have your seatbelt fastened tight.

New OS X on the horizon, tons of new, incredible features on the horizon, iOS 5.1 with more incredible new features on the horizon, iPad 3 on the horizon...

It's pretty cool how Apple really catch you totally off-guard.
And the most amazing thing: you don't even know exactly, how they did it. Talk to a few journalists, quietly seed out some Mountain Lion previews, get everything into just the right position and then...it all goes topsy-turvy.

Today was a good day!

nice features. But incredible? you might need to raise your bar a little.

When iOS 5 first came out I was using a jailbroken iPhone. I saw the camera button on the lock screen, and I thought it was really cool. I downloaded an application from Cydia that allowed me to do the same thing on my jailbroken iPhone 4S which was on iOS 4.3

The problem was that it was always there just like you see on this new version of iOS 5.1

At first I thought the idea of that was really cool and even better then the implementation from Apple, but I soon discovered that my iPhone was more often than not open with the camera application in my pocket wasting battery. I found that several times durring the week my iPhone would be burning up and I would take it out of my pocket and see that the camera application was open accidentally hit by my fingers

That's probably why it's not a button in this implementation.

I just want GPS back on my iPhone 4 please Apple.

Or perhaps lower yours?

It's going to be subjective to each user no matter how you look at it.
 
The camera button looks nice, but I won't update if it adds that address book access warning thing.

Yeah, but many people don't know about this "double tap to camera" shortcut. Many times I see people asking me "What did you do there??", because they never imagined it was possible. With this, it will be quite obvious to everyone. ;)

I just learned about the double tap thing a second ago. Good to know since I'll probably not update. :)

Maybe all the saturnine malcontents can have their own forum?

still no new Siri features? seriously? come on now apple, it took the cydia guys half a day to come up with new amazing commands

What kind of features are you looking for?

I'm not 100% sure but in terms of the iPhone software I'm pretty sure all Siri does is record whatever you say and send it to Apple's servers. There, it's translated into a command which is sent back to the phone. Presumably, therefore, Apple could allow Siri to do new things at any time without the need for a software update. They'd do it at the backend on the voice-recognition servers.

I don't understand the point of this solution.. Will there be additional upgrades soon?

Not a lot of wow factor here(that's a ten dollar bill right there), but I like the slider. Now if this fixed the poor ringtone sound quality I would be a happy camper.
 
If this is true thank you whom ever gave the OK, way way better than that double tapping bad UI. :rolleyes:

They should just make the slider go horizontal to unlock or up for camera

Or a dot in the center that you slide up, left, or right to do something (right to unlock). They could do a lot with that. Of course, they'd lose the classic slider bar, but people would get over it if the new one is good.
