As mentioned In the previous post, on Wednesday 1 September Apple introduced a new product catalog. Among them, the new IOS 4.1, which will be made available to all users of iPhone and iPod Touch on Wednesday, September 8, at least as indicated by the rumor.
iOS 4.1 is a relatively minor update iOS 4, which promises to fix important bugs, add new features and power the new iPod Touch.
Keeping the order of features as Jobs was mentioning in his lecture, I impressions tell Rene Ritchie was on the upgrade. Please note that this is the Gold Master version (for developers and subscribers to Apple) and there is a possibility that something is different when you leave the final version. If so, this post will be updated.
In another order of things, most of this post is a direct translation of an article in TiPb . It is for this reason instead of the typical quotes to include, simply put in italics what has been translated and therefore not my responsibility. Feel free to visit the original article (In English) if they want ... is the first time that I have nothing to add to what was said by the author, but I wanted to bring this information so I started to translate. In addition, I added information from other sites to make it more complete.

A more detailed analysis of the last bug, LifeHacker people testing performed and reached the following conclusions regarding the performance of iOS 4.1 at the iPhone 3G:
- Comments: The performance improved slightly
- Maps: much improved performance
- Photos: performance barely improved
- Safari: ditto above
HDR Photography
The idea behind High Dynamic Range photos (High Dynamic Range) is to make photographs look more like what the eye could see human. In many cases this leads to get photos with too much light, but it seems that it is not always so in the case of property of iOS 4.
The process is performed to obtain a photo HDR usually requires a photo, and others like it that differ only in the level of exposure to combine them. As several photos of the same image with different lighting, more information is available regarding the lights and shadows, so you can get more details on each shot.
Basically, this means that details can be obtained from the blue sky and green trees in the same picture, no one is too light or too dark on the other.

HDR To activate, simply tap the provisions of the screen, as it is done with the to enable the flash button (on the iPhone 4). If enabled the option to take the picture, two further draws iOS: an overexposed (bright) and one underexposed (low light). By mixing different light information of the three pictures, you get the HDR photo. And we can also enable an option that also preserves the original photo. According to Rene Ritchie, take the picture takes us almost as long as before, but the process of saving the image becomes noticeably longer.

So far, based results viewed online, it appears that HDR iOS 4.1 makes a good job giving you more color and detail to areas that previously lost due to excessive lighting. However, only does a passable job at the time of giving detail to dark areas.

In any case, those who are not lovers of photography one will notice blue skies and people better lit, which is probably why Apple decided to add this feature in the first place.

HD Upload videos to the Internet via WiFi
Both the iPhone 4 as iPod Touch 4 can shoot video at 720p HD, but this resolution was compressed to "Standard Definition" when uploading to the Internet. IOS 4.1, this problem is fixed. Just have to select the HD option when uploading the video as long as we are connected via WiFi.

television rental
At this point if the service is not valid for South America, so I will just say the basics in this regard. If you were to learn that it is, I will post the corresponding update to go into more detail.
programs are only available from ABC and FOX channels, at a price of U $ S 0.99 per episode. Once the rent, you have 30 days to start watching it, and 48 hours to view once it began to look.
To access them, you have to go to the iTunes Store and play icon "videos" on the bottom bar. Once there, you just have to touch the icon of a program access to a screen with information about it, and the purchase prices and rental of the entire season. To rent just one episode, you have to play twice the same title to go to a screen with specific information about their subject and their prices.
Rene Ritchie reminds us that the "double tap" is usually reserved for the zoom in IOS and therefore Not the most elegant or the most intuitive access vacation episodes.
[ UPDATE: to rent episodes from the iPhone, only you can download the SD version. The HQ versions are only available for users of Apple TV. Taking into account the sizes of the screens, it makes sense.]
Game Center
This social network for games was buried in preliminary mode for developers since the launch of iOS 4, but implementation would be when it launches this new update. For now, you can create an account, show your status, view your friends' and approve or reject incoming friend requests (Which by the way, Rene Ritchie recommends disabling the notifications because they produce a sound of trumpets that can scare over an unsuspecting).
During the demo above, the tab "games" was the option to "search for games in Game Center" but we are redirected to a page web. However, IOS 4.1, displayed Angry Birds, Dungeon Hunter 2, and other popular games.
In any case, events, rankings of players, and the creation of funds should be available sometime this week.

Remote Control Protocol AVRCP Audio / Video for Bluetooth stereo
Finally (!) can control the volume, move to another song, and do pretty much anything else that will allow Bluetooth stereo headphones you have. Unfortunately, at least in tests conducted by Rene Ritchie, the volume changes made since the Bluetooth headset are not reflected in the level of the slider bar phone. However, changes are made well and work with both streaming service like the iTunes Store with the iPod applications.
FaceTime App
iPod Touch 4 now has a new icon on the home screen to access video calls with FaceTime (Which makes sense since there is no phone application from which initiate a call through FaceTime). In turn, since there is no phone number attached, will use the Apple ID / iTunes instead.
[ UPDATE: Being an official application, requires that both devices involved FaceTime call having at least iOS 4.1]

Settings
adds new features, and will have new settings for these features. Or, as sometimes happens, add new configurations for previously released. However, this time the settings have not been too many changes as it did before.
General: restrictions
One can block the Game Center multiplayer games if you do not want your children are interacting with the hordes of foul-mouthed available on the Internet.
General : keyboard
Does automatic correction iOS 4 causes more problems than it solves? No problem, now you can disable it.
Field Test Mode
This method allows an accurate diagnosis of the phone signal, as it shows the signal strength in concrete numbers rather to make it through the bar as usual. Apparently, the numbers range from -130 (virtually no signal) to -50 (the best possible signal.) What is certain is that to be negative numbers, the more they tend to zero, larger and therefore better.
To enter this mode, dial:
* 3001 # 12345 # *
To get out of it, simply press the Start button.
(Note: Some users, such as Rene Ritchie himself, received an error message when typing the above numbers)
Phone
Now, if you choose to add a number to Favorites, and it turns out that number is a cell phone and an iPhone 4 above, have the option to add it as a regular phone or as a contact FaceTime.

Nike +
Update Nike + was included in the IOS beta 4 but was absent from the final version, returns IOS 4.1 and looks set to stay this time. Allows us to synchronize data with Nike + servers directly from the iPhone instead of having to use a computer as an intermediary. It was time.
iOS Compatibility and 4.1 prices
iOS 4.1 is a free update for users of iPhone and iPod Touch compatible.
The compatibility should be the same as with iOS 4, so with this in mind:
-iPhone and iPod Touch 4 4 (2010): All features
-iPad (2010): must wait for the release of 4.2 iOS
-iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 3 (2009): All features except those that require specific hardware of the new versions (eg: FaceTime)
-iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2 (2008): no are multitasking, wallpapers, or support for Bluetooth keyboards. The iPhone 3G does not get the Game Center.
-iPhone and iPod Touch 1 (2007): not supported / not receive the update
Conclusion
updates x.1 versions of IOS are relatively minor compared with the releases of versions complete, but this fix important bugs, add new features to iPhone users and gives them a whole new level of experience for users of iPod Touch 4.
who was waiting for a new notification interface, or adding widgets, you should know that this is not the point of this update. But iOS beta 5 is only 6 months of being launched so you can keep that hope alive.
iOS 4.2, with the option to print remotely and new Airview (which would allow us to start watching a movie on your iPod or iPhone and continue watching on television thanks to the synchronization with the new Apple TV), is scheduled for November. However, there are surely more to users of iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad in the remainder of this year.
