Here's the full list:

  • Japanese language support for Siri (availability may be limited during initial rollout)

  • Photos can now be deleted from Photo Stream

  • Camera shortcut now always visible on Lock Screen for iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPod touch (4th generation)

  • Camera face detection now highlights all detected faces

  • Redesigned Camera app for iPad

  • Fixes an issue that occasionally caused audio to drop for outgoing calls

Note: iTunes appears to be choking, but OTA updates appear to be working fine at the moment.
