Apple have gone ahead and confirmed with us that the iOS 4.1 software update for the iPhone will be coming out on September 8th, for UK customers at least. The US website still says “Coming Soon” and hasn’t committed to a date as of yet, but I don’t see why Apple would do a staggered roll out of this.

iOS 4 was rolled out to the iPhone 3G along with the 3GS and of course the iPhone 4. The original iPhone and iPod Touch however didn’t get the update because they weren’t of a high enough spec. Even so, the iPhone 3G was given a limited version of iOS 4, and had no support for multiasking. Well a customer sent an email to Steve Jobs himself about the issue I’ve waited patiently through [...]

The iOS 4.1 Beta 3 came out just a couple of days ago, and now we’ve had a chance to find out what’s new in it. In this latest edition of the iPhone firmware, Apple have added a new option in in “Contacts” which allows users to make FaceTime calls using a phone number or email address.

Not too long ago a iPhone 4 jailbreak was released, all you had to do was visit jailbreakme.com and it would jailbreak your iOS device by taking advantage of a PDF exploit in the iPhone firmware.
