icloud.com email addresses appear
Some of the changes in iOS 6 beta 3 have been discovered by developers. MacRumors notes that users can now have icloud.com email addresses, instead of just ones from me.com. The latter are a holdover from iCloud's failed predecessor, MobileMe.
Meanwhile, 9to5Mac points out that the Maps app has a new section under Settings where people can choose to see labels in normal or large sizes, and toggle whether or not those labels always appear in a user's native language or in local ones. Distances can be set to display in either miles or kilometers. The app as a whole has evolved in terms of look, more clearly highlighting both roads and labels.
By comparison, Safari has had just a few minor tweaks. The Bookmarks menu now shows icons instead of text on the buttons for the Bookmarks, Reading List, and History options. On the iPad, a Reading List sync graphic now appears in the main browser bar, indicating progress.
