Apple is reported to roll-out iOS 5.1 that will feature updates such Japanese language support for Apple’s personal assistant Siri and a new lock screen for an easier access to device’s camera in the coming weeks.

The Japanese language support for Apple’s Siri might be aimed for the underlying market on the land of the rising sun. Meanwhile, the revised lock screen will add a feature that will enable users to launch the camera mode by just dragging the lock screen upward. This will add a less mechanical double tapping of the home button, and users will be able to take snap shot in few seconds.

Expected date for the release is March 9, just two days after the March 7th rumored iPad 3 announcement. Stay tuned.
