Report Ios 5 1 Gold Master Has Passed Qa Includes New Features

Chronicwire reports that the Gold Master build of iOS 5.1 has been in a “vigorous quality assurance phase” for the past three weeks” with testing being done both internally by Apple as well as by various carriers/partners.

As we first reported, it contains Japanese Siri as well as some features not previously revealed publicly  (Camera Slider?).

Chonicwire’s Will Strafach (@chronic) has been a good source of Apple’s iOS software info in the past.

We’ve been hearing whispers of expanded Siri integration (more devices and perhaps integration into the Remote App for AppleTV) but are a long way (well probably 24 hours) away from being able to verify.
