At a press event, Steve Jobs mentioned a few of the features, including ringtones and better App Store recommendations.<br /><br />All four major record labels will sell a combined 30,000 ringtones, available for $1.29 each. Buyers will be able to preview and purchase the audio directly from their iPhones.<br /><br />Similar to the music genius function, the store genius tool will recommend new apps based on your purchases. You'll access the tool directly from the iPhone or iPod touch. With Jobs noting that the App Store offers 75,000 products, those suggestions could help buyers dig through the deep catalog.<br /><br />Jobs mentioned that the update would include bug fixes and other features. The new software wasn't yet live when this story ran, but check for it within iTunes later today.</p> http://www.maclife.com/article/news/apple_release_iphone_31_software_update_today#comments News App Store apple iPhone iphone 3.1 Wed, 09 Sep 2009 12:19:12 -0500 Zack Stern 4877 at http://www.maclife.com http://www.maclife.com/article/news/iphone_os_31_easter_eggs <!--paging_filter--><p><img height="282" src="/files/u121189/iphone-3jpg.jpeg" width="380" /></p><p>Forget the buzz surrounding iPhone OS 3.0. That’s old news now. After some developers messed around with the beta release of the 3.1 OS, they reported some exciting feature enhancements. Of course, all these reports violate the developer's NDA, some people are just Chatty Cathys. The <a href="http://www.theiphoneblog.com/2009/06/30/iphone-31-nondestructive-video-editing-bluetooth-voice-control/" target="_blank">iPhone Blog is reporting</a> that the 3.1 OS beta supports:</p><p><br />- Voice Control over Bluetooth<br />- MMS support for AT&amp;T (This doesn’t mean you can use it yet, but merely that AT&amp;T can flip the switch and have it work)<br />- Improvements to OpenGL and Quartz<br />- Non Destructive Video Editing (Giving you the option to “save as copy” after trimming videos on your iPhone)<br />- APIs to allow third party apps to access and edit videos<br />- Updated modem firmware<br /><br />Chances are, at least one of these features excites you a little, but don’t get ahead of yourself. There is no release date yet for the 3.1 beta, and there will probably be a few minor updates (3.01, 3.02, etc.) before this one is pushed out the door. We shall wait patiently.</p><p>&nbsp;</p> http://www.maclife.com/article/news/iphone_os_31_easter_eggs#comments News developer iphone iPhone iPhone 3.0 iphone 3.1 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 11:55:13 -0500 Arvind Srinivasan 4433 at http://www.maclife.com
