5 September, 2010
A slip up on the Apple UK site revealed the iOS 4.1 launch date - they’ve fixed it now, but the secret is out. The new version brings bug fixes, new features, but most importantly - fixes the iPhone 3G performance...

        I have a Samsung s3100 in pink, it is the best phone I have ever had! The camera is far superior to that of phones like the galaxy s and i4. I would be lost without my pink s3100.

          iphone4guy, 07 Sep 2010Flash is just fancy Ads i don't want that. Only the apps... morei totally agree with masturb9's comment.

          and wait, for your information...apple has illegaly stolen nokia's patents so apple is the real thief here

          apple loves to claim that the technology they have applied in iphone is theirs but the truth is they have stolen nokia's patents without permission.

          yes, you hear that word:"stolen"

          i'm no fanboy...i just like to give factual information
          being a fanboy means bias

            apple is trying to clean their hands out of the mess that they made on design flaw of iPhone 4.

            come on, you can't call iPhone 4 a "smartphone" if it can't do telephony functions properly. apple is trying to make that problem appear as a software-based flaw but actually it is a hardware design flaw. remember the day when one of apple's engineers jumped out of the company?

            that guy went out of apple because he is afraid that he will be sued in the mess that he had done on the iPhone 4.

            iPhone 4 is not a perfect phone and it has a fair share of flaws.

            Unfortunately, apple is still young in making communication-based hardware. apple is only a 3-year old player in telecommunications industry, so keep in mind that the iPhone may have some great flaws.

            I don't trust apple for now because they're no veterans in telecom market as of now and i do not want to spend a money for a smartphone that's unable to do telephony tasks properly.

                      the iOS really sucks. why?
                      -it does not have essential feature that other phone has.
                      (file manager, sending file over bluetooth, mass storage mode)
                      -not open source. (come on, everyone's going open source...this is 2010 not 1980s.)
                      -no java support (still, majority of people do use java applications because of its flexibility and portability)
                      -no flash support (this is surely the biggest issue here. a web browser that lacks flash support will make you struggle)
                      -"reception problems" (apple did mention that the way how the iOS measure the signal strength is incorrect)
                      -harder to jailbreak (the transition from "iPhone OS" to "iOS" made iPhone users to stick to iPhone 3GS, for a short while.)
                      -social gaming compatibility is too late (apple must have released that feature a lot earlier)
                      -vulnerability issues (hackers do see the iPhone users as their new target)
                      -unreal "multitasking" (actually, not all apps in iOS can't multitask. There are only selected apps that can be set to run in background)
                      -wi-fi connectivity issues

                      so far, these are the reasons that i see why iOS sucks. but i hope that apple will fix these problems (if they can).

                                  People who say xxx brand phone has better camera then iPhone should realize that a camera in a phone is still crap compare to an average digital camera.

                                  Why you ask? In short, the sensor is just too small. The smaller the sensor, the worse the picture quality no matter now many mega pixel it is. If you want to get technical, a 5MP with a 1" sensor takes better pictures then a 10MP camera with a 1" sensor. Why? Because the smaller the sensor, the less light it can receive.

                                  Think about it. If you take out one pixel from each sensor on the above example, each pixel on the 5MP sensor has twice the area as the one in the 10MP. In photography, bigger is better. Bigger lens, bigger sensor = better pictures. Especially in indoor/low light situations.

                                  Don't believe me? Google it!

                                    You can downgrade back to 3.1.3. I did on mine and it runs much better.

                                    Re: "What it's HDR Photography???? Who can explain me that???. Thanks"

                                    In the simplest English, it combines several pictures and brings out the average "brightness" on them all. There's already an app called HDR Pro which combines 2 pictures (taken one after another with different "brightness") and gives you the average.

                                    The one that comes with 4.1 from Apple will combine 3 pictures for more precise averages.

                                    This is the best I can explain it without using any technical terms. Go to apple.com and watch the keynotes for a demo.
