It appears that Apple may launch a new Apple TV tomorrow as previously expected. The reason this is more probable now is that all but two Apple stores in the US have now sold out of the Apple TV.
The version expected to launch is Apple TV 3 which is another set top style box as pictured below. Some rumours believe that Apple might be making a large TV with iOS built in but we think this will be later on this year or perhaps even next year.

iOS 5.1 GM Might get Japanese Siri and Slide to Camera
February 17, 2012 by Leave a Comment
The current version of iOS 5.1 for developers is the beta 3 version. BGR appears to have got hold of an early version of iOS 5.1 GM though and along with it, they have detailed a couple of new features.
The first is a slide up to access the camera which is similar to what is on iOS 5. In this version the small camera icon can be slid up the lock screen to reveal the camera view finder. It doesn’t really change much, but the slide instead of tap is noticeable. I am guessing that the big change here will be with the icon always being available on the lock screen. At the moment, the camera icon only appears after a double-tap on the home button.
