Instead of having to save one picture at a time I the mail app you can now save them all at once.
I've had this feature since 3.1.
Is there anyway to make the wallpaper for the home screen and the lock screen different? My sister can't figure it out on her 3gs and I have a lowly first generation, so I don't get to bask in the wonder of ios4
You can now autocomplete URLS in safari (don't remember seeing this in 3.x at all)
In the iTunes store when searching out movies you can now view a content review from rotten tomatoes.
Neither of those are new. I'm fairly certain autocomplete of URLs has been there since 1.0.0.
Go to Wallpaper in settings and click on the image after that it asks you if you want both to be the pic or just one.
Was there a limit? I sent a text message to 17 people in one go before the update
Thanks, they just kinda made it confusing by not giving a separate home and lock section
Found a bug! Icons for apps are disappearing and reappearing in on iphone, some entire folders have missing icons. Weird!
Well I do not use iTunes for videos at all, just music, so I appologize for being wrong
As for the autocomplete I do not remember it being there.
Anyone on 3.x wanna test it out and report back?

In app texting
In the iOS 4.0 keynote Steve talked about a quick reply like feature for in app texting that developers could use for replying to a text while still in their app.
Why didn't apple apply this feature to the stock apps? I know we have fast app switching but still, you'd think it wouldn't be hard to implement or that it would come built in for the stock apps

That is what I was hoping for. I still have to restart certain games that I am in the middle of to send a text. Sucks.
I'm not talking about third party apps, I kind of figured if apple was to mention in app texting that they would implement it in the apps that are provided with the phone. But they didn't do that.
I also think apple kind of stunted of the in app texting, there is a great JB app called QuickReply which was a great feature, it would give the option to
- Close
- View
- Reply
You could also in the settings change view to call. When you clicked reply it would then bring up keyboard overtop of the existing app.

Definitely was there, but there is a major difference, it now lists them with their history's title page name in big bold letters, and the url below, it used to just be the url in normal text. I think it is "searching" more than autocompleting now because it comes up with suggestions in a different order than it used to. I used to use this feature all the time for my common sites instead of painfully browsing through my huge hierarchy of bookmarks. Have to change the bit of text I type to get the right suggestions now
i get a different ringtone for my bluetooth car kit. the only thing that has changed is the update so i assume it has to do with that?
anyone else confirm?

Stereo Bluetooth headphones
Now when you have stereo Bluetooth headphones connected, you can control the volume from the iPhone. This wasn't possible before. You still can't change the track in the iPod app, but you can pause.

I don't think you can. It's the default music player. However, I don't thinks it's really running per se, but gives you the ability for quickly controlling your iPod. If you had double-clicking controlling your iPod controls before, it's just the same thing.
