Apple has confirmed on its UK site that iOS 4.1 will be released next Wednesday (8th September). It will be interesting to see if the proximity sensor is fixed in this update, desperate for that one to start working, and to check out the HDR Photography option. Don’t forget that Game Center and HD video uploading will also arrive with this update.

Have you tried Ping yet and what are your thoughts? I have tried it and must say that it looks OK, but I am not convinced it is flexible enough to be more than an add-on to iTunes.

Mobile phones are supposed to be carried by their owner and most of us keep them close by for the majority of each day. They can be kept in a pocket, on a desk or in a bag and so it is important to keep them protected if possible. I am one of those people who will overdo the protective element of mobile ownership and do everything I can to keep it as good as new and the resell value as high as possible. This has always worked for me in the past and the expense of a screen protector and case are minimal compared to the longer life and higher resell value they produce. My BlackBerry smartphones have had neither a case or screen protector and every one was still in perfect condition when it came to moving on. And then I bought an iPhone 4.

In a move that cleverly protects the company from Apple’s recent development of Game Center, OpenFient will be offering cross-platform multi-player gaming on iPhone and Android handsets.
From slide to Play- “In a move designed to tilt the balance of power in the mobile gaming wars, OpenFeint has announced they will be bringing their social gaming platform to Google’s Android phones later this summer.
Launch partners for the cross-platform shift include Glu, Digital Chocolate, and Hudson Entertainment, who already have several games available on the Android Market. Indie developers like RocketCat Games, makers of Hook Champ and Super QuickHook, have also pledged their support. On the business side of things, OpenFeint announced they recently received a capital investment from Chinese online gaming company The9.”
