Developers Get The iPhone OS 3.1 (Rumor)

on 07/01/2009 10:51 PDT

~~The word on the street is that~~ iPhone developers have been seeded with the iPhone OS 3.1 and the SDK 3.1. Right now, the iPhone Dev-Team is waiting for the OS 3.0.1 and a critical mass of users before unleashing their jailbreaking and unlocking software, but we wonder if they will hold on until 3.1 now…

The second obvious question is: what’s in the 3.1 release?

Update: according to developers, here are the highlights of this new update:

OpenGL improvements
Non-destructive video editing (creates a new “post-editing” video)
Applications can access the videos
AT&T profile goes to 4.2
Voice Control over Bluetooth
iPhone vibrates upon an icon move
Modem Firmware version 5.08.01

iOS was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.
