Apple Already On The Road To iOS 6.1.1: Seeds Beta 1

It wasn't too long ago that iOS 6 was released. It also wasn't long ago when it was jailbroken either. Nonetheless, Apple is moving full force towards the next iOS firmware - 6.1.1. The first beta which supports devices as old as the iPhone 3GS, 4th generation iPod Touch and the iPad 2, brings enhancements to the Maps application for those living in Japan. Here's the full lineup of enhancements:

• Improved pronunciation of roads during turn-by-turn navigation
• Optimized directions to more strongly prefer highways over narrower roads
• Now indicates upcoming toll roads during turn-by-turn navigation
• Added labels for junctions, interchanges, on-ramps, off-ramps, and intersections
• Added indicators for transit station buildings, subway lines, and traffic lights
• Updated freeway color to green
• Updated icons for some location categories including fire stations, hospitals, and post offices
• Added 3D buildings including Tokyo Station, Japan Imperial Palace, and Tokyo Tower

What's interesting about this beta is that it does not have any expiration date, compared to earlier betas. Let's see how long it is before this one gets jailbroken.
