Just when we got used to the new iPhone OS 3.0, Apple rolls out a beta of version 3.1. Top of the list of this bug fix is the ability to nondestructively edit video. With the current OS 3.0, if you trim the beginning or the end of the clip and save it, those edited parts of your video are gone forever. In OS 3.1, you'll have the option to save a copy of the edited video, leaving the original intact. But wait, there's more:
• Voice Control now works over Bluetooth
• Faster boot time
• iPhone vibrates when moving icons
• Updated AT&T profile to 4.2
• Updated modem firmware to 5.08.01
• Improvements to OpenGL and Quartz.
• APIs to allow third party apps to access videos and edit them.
One fix I wish they would implement: It's harder to place the cursor within text than it was in the old iPhone OS (could that be because of the new "oleophobic" screen?). Maybe somebody could try fixing that. Let's also hope the developers do something to improve the iPhone 3GS's speech recognition, which is laughably lame thus far.Developers are getting the beta software and firmware now, but the official release date for the rest of us iPhone-totin' suckas is unknown.
