Those who currently use the second beta version of the operating system had to download the update before midnight on July 27 - so as not to suspend the device.
Those features, the veil of secrecy over which was opened by the first beta version of iPhone OS 3.1, have finally been realized. So, voice control is now implemented not only using a wired headset or a microphone built into the phone, but also a Bluetooth headset. And when editing videos, both the modified version and the original are saved.
Since the second beta version, developers have had the opportunity to access a smartphone from a computer via Wi-Fi and work with it from a distance without using a USB cable. Naturally, this functionality has been preserved in the new firmware.
At least one developer noted that the third beta version of the operating system will allow the use of augmented reality applications that overlay information and controls on images received from the iPhone camera in real time, AppleInsider reports.
According to unofficial data, the new iPhone OS 3.1 operating system will be released by the beginning of September. Just by that time, an updated iPod Touch with a camera will be released, with the help of which it will also be possible to use augmented reality applications.
