How about the Dont Disturb animation when you turn it on and off ;).

I now have high quality satellite images in my area (South West, UK) and there are new labels for motorways in the UK so they don't look American. (And the labels in maps seem to have better positions than before)

Awesome! Would you mind having a look and letting me know if there are high quality satellite images of the North West areas (around Manchester) and East Midlands (around Leicester)?
 
Not sure if this is new but when you tap on an app preview photo in the app store it goes to a full screen view
 
I don't think I'll use large labels. I guess it would be good for people with bad eyesight. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1342466226.040274.jpg
 
Still no change to the DND function to allow text messages from people that are on the allowed list.
 
Is it possible that the new Maps option to show labels always in English is working exactly the opposite as intented?

When I set "Map Labels Always English" ON, the Maps label in Germany are in German. But when I set "Map Labels Always English" to OFF, the Map labels are English - the exact opposite of how it should be.

I should add that I have set the iOS language to English, but the locale to Germany.
 
Safari is LIGHTNING fast on my iPad 2.

With beta 2 (and iOS 5), when zooming in, it took about 0.5-1 seconds before it rendered it correctly, but with beta 3, it happens instantly.

It also makes it nice as you can scroll right after you've zoomed in or move around.. Before it froze the whole app while rendering.
 
I just tried turn by turn in my room and when I tapped start, it actually starting speaking. It hasn't done this for me previously. I'm excited to try it out!

That's the exact thing on my 4S
 
Traffic data is now available in the UK.

Traffic data also for Germany now, at least the incident reports. Oh and you can actually tap on an incident report icon and get a description of what is going on. When you tap a roadwork sign it sells you for how long the roadwork will go on and even what the speed limit is. Very nice!
 
Maps are definitely improving. In my area (Cologne, Germany) you now have much more details at the same zoom level. When you zoom out, previously you could only see autobahns, but not the many roads in between them - now you can. When you zoom into a city, shops are now appearing much earlier.

But all street number labels are now just white, not color-coded as before. Satellite images have also improved but they use VERY different photos for the various zoom levels, this is a little odd. Why not use great high-res photos and scale them down when zoomed out?

It does say "or the local language in each region".

It should say "Always Use Local Language".
 
In Maps, tunnel roads are indicated with a gray color. Take the Battery Park Tunnel in NYC for example:
