The first one (above) is actually a bug with iMovie 1.1, although the app was updated yesterday and requires iOS 4.1. As you can see, reader Sean P. is still seeing a glitch in iMovie for iPhone that makes clip trimming a haphazard affair.
Eric B. reports that the headphones he received with his “iphone 2g” (we’re thinking he meant the 3G) now work, whereas before 4.1 but after 4.0 they did not.
John T. tells us “the iOS4.1 upgrade somehow ‘recovered’ clued 2+ weeks of lost voicemails that I really wish I had received, well, 2 weeks ago.” He reports others have seen this as well — have you?
Joseph T. says there’s good news for Bluetooth headset users who jam out on their headsets: “…the new AVRCP profile allows Bluetooth headsets to FINALLY skip forward and rewind.”
A few of us noticed it, but Jonathan L. wrote in to point out the icon for “deleting” an email in Gmail accounts has changed to indicate that you’re not deleting, you’re archiving the email. Instead of a trash can, you now have an arrow pointing to a file cabinet. If you want to go back to trashing email, however, you can set this in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > choose the account (Gmail only) > Turn OFF “Archive Messages.”
Jeff V. reports a welcome enhancement regarding app updates on the phone: “Guys, I haven’t seen anyone cover this yet, nor do I know if it is a really big deal, but now in iOS 4.1 you can download and install more than one app at a time. Up to three at a time from what I see. I noticed this while updating some apps on my iPhone after updating to 4.1. I had twelve updates, told it to download all, and then it started downloading 3 of the apps at the same time (I have a screenshot showing the three blue install bars at the same time). Again, I thought this was nice, and I wasn’t expecting it, so I figured I would pass it along in case you hadn’t noticed.”
