Portuguese blog BlogDoiPhone has somehow gotten their hands on an unreleased iOS 5.1 GM and has uploaded screenshots of the lockscreen. GM stands for Golden Master which is a build ready for release. No information on as to how they were able to acquire a GM but BlogDoiPhone has given us a reason to be excited about iOS 5.1 release.

The screenshots of the iOS 5.1 GM show that Apple has brought a few changed to lockscreen. It features the camera button which adds a second slider to the Slide To Unlock mechanism. The slider moves vertically, revealing the full set of tools found in the Camera.app. Currently, to open the Camera application without having to unlock your phone, you must double-tap the Home button to display the button for the camera.

Also revealed in the iOS 5.1 GM leaked screenshots is Japanese language option in Siri. Ever since Siri’s launch, there have been many concerns put forward by non-American users as Siri is unable to understand their accents.
