Apple has seeded iOS 4.1 Gold Master (final version) for registered developers.The update (8B117) is a whopping 590 MB download.
By updating this, you’ll get the following features that were announced earlier today:
The update is rumored to be publicly available next week.
The most popular game (at least here in Scandinavia), Angry Birds, just got updated to version 1.4.1. The biggest new feature is the addition of 15 new levels (page 10, levels 1-15). Open up App Store to grab this update. If you don’t have this game yet, I’d recommend you spending 0.79€ on it, it’s well worth it.
As we told to you yesterday, Microsoft today enabled ActiveSync for their popular Hotmail email service.

With Push Email, you can also sync your contacts and calendar with Hotmail’s service.

Update: It’s now live and kicking. How-To posted here.
The Dev-Team today announced that they will move focus from iOS 4.0.2 to the upcoming iOS 4.1. This means that you will not be able to jailbreak an iOS 4.0.2 running device, or at least the Dev-Team will not bring it.
So now, people will begin to ask: will there be a jailbreak for devices that shipped with 4.0.2/3.2.2, out of the box?
No, there won’t be. FW 4.0.2/3.2.2 was *only* released to fix the jailbreakme hole. With FW 4.1 still in its beta stages, it makes no sense to escalate the “cat & mouse” with Apple for FW updates that only fix the jailbreak holes. To quote WOPR, “the only winning move is not to play”.
A few days ago a British woman claimed that she was the world’s fastest texter on a Samsung Galaxy S with the Swype keyboard. She spelled “the razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human” in 25.94 seconds.
In the video above, you can see someone (Gumballtech?) write the same text in under 22 seconds on an iPhone, with a standard QWERTY-keyboard. Can you see the speed of those fingers!?
Check out this browser comparison between the LG Panther (Windows Phone 7), iPhone 4 (iOS 4.0.1) and Nexus One (Android 2.2).
Pretty neat little feature in IE on Windows Phone 7. It can load content in different tabs in the background, and as far as I know, this isn’t currently available on other platforms.
The official Facebook application for the iPhone got updated to version 3.2.2.
This is a bugfix release, and fixes the most important bug for me – the login problem. I wasn’t able to login after the 3.2 update, and that wasn’t fixed in 3.2.1 either. Now I’m able to use Facebook again, wohoo :D
