With the official release of the iPhone 3.0 OS only a few weeks behind them, Apple today released to developers the next feature release of the iPhone OS.
Although Apple hasn't posted a changelog, improvements and bugs are filling up the forums on some Apple blogs. Here's what I've been able to gather so far:
- Mobile iTunes is now buggy on some devices. If you use your device for media listening/viewing, wait for another release.
- MMS is enabled by default now, but still doesn't work properly on AT&T without some tweaks
- Tethering still works via the hack
- Major update to the baseband 05.08.01 (fewer dropped calls?). For SIM unlockers, you'll want to skip
- Startup/Shutdown times improved. Also opening/closing applications
- Bluetooth AVRCP profiles still not supported
- When entering email addresses, iPhone recognizes Google sync contacts
- Some 3GS owner/developers notice that they don't have to put their device in the device list for their iPhones to be activated under 3.1
Remember, this is a Beta and things soemtimes break. With that being said, it is always interesting to find out what's new on the iPhone.
Anyone else find anything else interesting out there?
