iOS 4.1 SDK Beta 1 ready for download

MacNN are claiming 4.1 has a better AVRCP implementation. Can anyone confirm if that's true and if so, what precisely is better? Have they finally implemented skip prev/next? What about track metadata display via bluetooth?

Has anyone noticed an INCREASE in signal strength (both raw and Apple graded) with 4.1? Where I used to get around -90 dB with 4.0, I'm not getting -75 dB. Nothing has changed except for the OS (which brought a new baseband version).

Doesn't help with the death grip issue... Not sure why people would expect it to, or ask, but hey here's the proof.

This is downright some of the best news I've read since the iPhone 4 came out, with the exception of all the World Cup news.

I'm downloading it right now and will give it a whirl.

With any luck, I'm hoping that we'll see an iPhone 4 jailbreak soon. The iPhone DeV Team has said that they're delaying the release until the iOS 4 update so that Apple won't be able to fix any of the exploits that they're using.

Cool! Would be nice if Apple could release 4.0 for the iPad. I grow jealous of the features that every other iDevice has now. Just seems like a no-brainer...

Surprising it's 4.1. It's obvious now Apple is going for a programming-based fix for the antenna issues. They'll try to fix the software before A) PR get's too bad or B) doing an expensive & brand-tarnishing recall.

I'm sure Apple will address:

• iPhone 3G performance issues
• iPhone 4 antenna issue either by OS, driver, firmware, or baseband updates.
• Exchange timeout issue

any word on the bluetooth issue fix? My return date is quickly approaching. I'd to part with my iPhone 4, but the bluetooth issue has been the most vexing and would force me to return the phone if it's not fixed asap.

Reception bars are a lot more responsive/accurate... 5 bars is a lot rarer...

How often does information on NDA-blocked SDKs get leaked? I'm rather curious on the updates, for some reason (even though I've yet to try iOS4 development - waiting on Xcode 4 :).

Downloading now. Interesting that's it's a full point release and not something like 4.0.1.
