The new iOS 5.1 features: What's New and What's Hidden

Immediately after the iPad 3 release on March 8th, the new version of iOS was released immediately for free download on iTunes and the beta version expired on 31 January 2012.

Lets discuss some new features that are provided in the new iOS which is the iOS 5.1.

Many articeles on the interent discussed the iOS 5.1 on iPhone 4s and iPad.\ and nobody was talking about the iOS 5.1 on ipod touch so i thought I would talk about the iPod touch iOS 5.1 features and leave iPhone and iPads out of it. Although they will be discussed later (see the link below)

The First noticeable feature is that i found was that when i first loaded and started using my iPod touch 4g after I installed iOS 5.1 is that it worked lot faster. It also seemed much mroe stable than the previous iOS 5 where I my apps would shut down anytime and also the interface became a little jerky which was annoying a little bit.

The most popular app that faced crash problems was the IMDB app (there might be various other apps that crashed but out of all the apps i installed, IMDB was worst.)

The most common observable feature is that the lock screen has a little camera icon on the bottom right corner next to the slide panel. You could just slide the lock screen up by touching that icon and the camera app starts. You can take snap and again slide down for the lock screen to reappear. Also I have come to know that there have been some changes in the camera quality (I do not know if it is a rumor or truth), but I honestly didn't find anything different on it.

Well ...folks these are the two observable features in the new iOS 5.1, however there are a few more features  for the iphone 4s which will be discussed later and there are a few hidden features also for the iOS 5.1 on ipod touches.
