Here’s a video comparison of an iPhone 3G running iOS 4 and another iPhone 3G running 3.1.3. No matter what, iOS doesn’t seem to play nice with the 3G.
Stay tuned for a similar post in a couple of months, when we’ll put the 3GS to shame against an iPhone 4.
So you’ve got iOS 4 installed on your iPhones and iPods and you want to know which apps in the App Store are already compatible with it. There are some great roundups around about it.
I’ve decided to put together a list of my favorite apps that are already using iOS 4’s new functionalities such as state-saving and multitasking. Plus, I’ve collected some of the “subtle changes” Apple has put into iOS, those little things that make you love Apple every time. Nik Fletcher has another similar collection too, check it out here.
What are your favorite apps and changes in iOS 4? Tell us in the comments below.
Andy Inhatko has noticed that the iPad keyboard dock mostly works with an iPhone 3GS running iOS 4. You can write emails, notes and anything you want with it. There are some considerations to make though.
iOS 4 came out yesterday, and right after iTunes finished to install it on our iPhones we all wondered whether jailbreak was still possible. Yes, it is. Using an unofficial build of Pwangetool by Criminal90 floating around on the internet (UPDATE: official PwnageTool for iOS 4 is out) and a couple of tricks, I managed to jailbreak my iPhone 3GS and install Cydia on it. Check out the full tutorial after the break.
TUAW is reporting that Google Apps users who tried to setup their account using Microsoft Exchange (ActiveSync) ended up with auto-lock automatically set to 1 minute.
“Apparently this is due to the security certificates that Google uses with its Exchange servers. The servers can force security options on compatible devices, which your iPhone becomes once it is running iOS 4.
To be clear: if you have a regular Gmail account and set it up using Exchange, this auto-lock requirement will not be triggered. But if you use Google Apps for your personal domain, it may.”
Some Google users have also reported other sync issues with iOS 4, head over this thread if you’ve been experiencing problems too.
The iPhone 4 has arrived at Walmart, with its fancy new packaging and everything. Engadget has got the first picture, check it out after the break.
Earlier today Saurik pushed an update for both Cydia and MobileSubstrate, which should now be iOS 4-compatible. To install the updates, just fire up Cydia and do a complete (recommended) upgrade.
Apple has just approved a new version of the official WordPress application (2.5) which, like many other apps this week, adds support for iOS 4.
This update is more important than other apps though, considering that WordPress is the world leading blogging platform and that the iPhone / iPad app has been flawed by terrible bugs and UI inconsistencies for months.
Apple has updated iBooks and made it a universal application for iPad and iPhone. The update comes together with the release of iOS 4 earlier today, which lists iBooks support as one of the most important features.
