You can’t have failed to hear that Apple had a little get-together last night – unless, of course, you don’t use Twitter, don’t watch the news or have spent the past 14 hours or so with a tin foil hat on your head.
New iPods – and the second coming of Jesus first public appearance of Steve Jobs in months aside, the event also saw the official launch of iPhone OS 3.1. So what’s new, and is it worth an upgrade?
The main featured additions seem to involve Apple’s clever ‘Genius’ recommendation system. Already a feature in later versions of iTunes, Genius on iPhone OS 3.1 will recommend you apps based on your appstore purchase/download history and, in conjunction with iTunes 9, turn your music library into mixes.
Also on the list for 3.1 is ringtones – and lots of them – over 30,000 in fact. Priced at $1.29 a pop, you can browse, preview and download them on a new ‘Ringtones’ section of iTunes 9.
Meanwhile there’s a whole heap of bug fixes and little changes over OS 3.0. Apple claim 3.1 brings improved syncing for iTunes and iPhoto content, better iPhone 3G Wi-Fi performance when you’ve got Bluetooth switched on, anti-phishing warnings in Safari, improved Exchange calendar syncing, Bluetooth headset voice control for the 3Gs, and a few other bits and bobs along the way.
OS 3.1 is available now, and more details are on the Apple site here.

Welcome to the Aion Powerleveling Shop – the only store to buy Aion KInah
After upgrading to 3.1, making a “Voice Activated†dialed phone call via blue tooth from my Garmin Nuvi 765T; the call recipient wasn't able to hear me nor was I able to hear them from the speaker phone portion of my Garmin Nuvi. My Nuvi was able to pair with my IPhone but didn’t show any labeled item paired with it within the IPhone “Settings/Connected†option. I chatted with Apple tech support and made an appointment at an Apple store for some troubleshooting but they could fix it. They provided a new IPhone with the original 3.01 OS and I was able to use the blue tooth hands free phone portion again. It still doesn’t show any listed items in the “Settings/Connected†list though. Much work to be done Apple.
