You can now send a mass text message to more than 9 people the cut off used to be 9 but I just sent the same text to 14 people from work. I don't know what the max is though.

There's an app for that! You can save groups and launch a text in seconds.
And you can send a text to alot more than 14 people if necessary.

It's called Mass Text Message. http://MassTextMessage.com
 
Is there any way to remove the sent sms tone, and the tone when you lock and unlock your phone?

Go to Settings>Sounds and scroll down. There is a switch for Lock Clicks. Nothing you can do about the SMS tones unless you are jailbroken. If so, you could SSH into the phone and delete the sound file for the SendMessage.
 
Hello, You give me very informative thing. Very good features. I have currently Iphone 3G but now I am willing to buy Iphone 4 its really good.
 
Running Apps

Are you sure about that? Throughout the betas, any apps left in the dock still had memory wired and eventually you run out.

install one of the memory manager programs and open it while you have items running in the task switcher. (Take note of how much memory is in use.) Then close some of them and open the memory manager again and look at memory in use. You will almost undoubtedly see a reduction in memory use.
 
There's not much that can be done in the Game Center right now, but one day you can play against your friends and compete with the high results and earn achievements.Its not surprising, but its good to know that you can stick in the folders yard.

Or if you are looking to something similar, but free alternative, check out "textgroups" free or lite version! Works great, sends texts to 34 people in my group list

Double tap twice and its done.

Curious ... is there an ability, natively to MOVE photos in Camera Album to other Albums you've already enabled Sync'd on the iPhone with IOS4.0.2? Sync'ing to the Mac dumps these somewhere in my iTunes library in random folders and its a pain to look for these this way? will iPhoto do this?
 
not sure if this is new, but one thing I had noticed is when you are using the magnifying glass in editable text you still type and fix mistakes while looking through the magnifying glass.

**EDIT** this doesnt work in native apps, but it does in (some) third party apps

If I'm understanding you correctly, there isn't a way to move your images to folders natively. However, in iPhoto, after you choose to import the images from your phone, you can dump them in folders of your choice with ease. Everything is also easily searchable via Date, Last Import, Last 12 Months, Places, Faces, Flagged, etc.

yeah you can organize in iphoto or on your PC into folders and then import them back over but as of yet there is no way to organize or create albums directly on your phone
 
You can hold the next/previous buttons in your albums to scroll really fast through pictures.
 
Did someone already mention that the top bar that shows time, battery, etc is transparent now?
I'm probably late to the party but just found out, not sure if I like it or not lol

iPhone has swap partition. Even if it something sais those hibernated apps take memory it doest mean that they are in RAM. Sure a few KBs are probably wasted to handle the UI for apps switching.
