[iPhone] iPhone Update 3.1 Changes
July 2nd, 2009
As many of you heard, Apple has seeded the firmware 3.1 beta to iPhone developers. An anonymous tipster has released the following changes in the OS:
- Options for MMS are back on AT&T, but not sending or receiving.
- Non-destructive video editing means trimming a clip no longer saves over the original video but gives you the option to “Save as copy…”
- Voice Control now works over Bluetooth
- iPhone vibrates when moving icons
- Updated AT&T profile to 4.2
- Updated modem firmware to 5.08.01
- Improvements to OpenGL and Quartz
- APIs to allow third party apps to access videos and edit them
- You can now paste phone numbers into the phone app’s dialer. This wasn’t possible under 3.0
- While pasting phone numbers, a neat feature is that it will convert alphanumeric phone numbers into a real phone number (e.g. 1-800-FLOWERS becomes 1-800-356-9377)
- Calendar appointment popup notifications now display the “Location” field from the calendar entry
- Ability to save video attachments in emails to your camera roll
Looks like a decent update. Usually .1 updates are there to patch up little holes in the .0 update version. I am especially happy about non-destructive video editing feature. The trim feature was really missing that. The ability to save video attachments in emails to the camera roll is also very handy. As always, I’ll keep my ear out for more news, and keep you posted!
