Bluetooth AVRCP For Ipod Touch / Iphone fully supported in iOS4.1 Update

July 15th, 2010

Rumor has it that the up coming update iOS4.1 (the one that messes around with the way the mobile reception is displayed) also features full Bluetooth AVRCP support.

This will hopefully mean that when connecting your iPod to a Bluetooth headset you will finally be able to skip between tracks and other minor features.

Previously many users have only beeen able to pause and start playback from their headset.

If this is true this is great news as many were dissapointed it was not included in the initial release of iOS4. It is also great from a safety point of view as driving and attempting to change tracks on the Ipod is not very safe.

I havn’t been able to find much out about this and mainly going by what was posted on wikipedia and a few others site.

Anyone know any more info?

Iphone OS V4 and Iphone 4th Generation release date soon

June 7th, 2010

Steve Jobs has just announced that the new operating system for the Ipod Touch / Ipad / Iphone will be made available to the public on 21st June 2010 at the WWDC (Apple Worldwide Developers Conference).

This operating system has been renamed to iOS4 and is set to give the mobile devices new functionality including multi-tasking (specific devices only) and a whole new range of other addiotion exciting features. The full list can be found on the Wikipedia page here which also details the changes of all the versions of the OS.

The OS 4.0 was originally announced on April 8th 2010 and the features included were expected by many but some new ones thrown in. There was disappointment that the FM radio tuner was not activated and indications back in September 2009 showed that the Broadcom chip used in the devices also has this functionality and that Apple was developing an FM radio App.

There are arguments that an external aerial would be required for the FM radio but it could be possible for the headphones to provide this as with the Ipod Nano.

Maybe a future update? I would welcome the FM radio as some people do still listen to it!
