time will tell.i sure hope its true.
i really want to see battery improvements and possible a free memory feature since Apple made all devs remove that function from appstore apps.
Bug fixes and stability. Minor details like faster boot ups. Stuff like that. No major new features tho.
Beta 1
Improved Wi-Fi
Faster boot up time and various speed improvements
Provides vibration feedback when home screen icons jiggle to indicate they're ready to be moved or rearranged.
Trimming video clips on the iPhone 3GS now offers the ability to save the edited version as a copy rather than simply overwriting the original file
Some reports of MMS being activated on U.S. models, but it seems to stall before actually being sent out over AT&T's network (most likely because of the MMS opt-out currently active on most AT&T iPhone texting plans)
Safari now has a toggle for "Fraud Protection" under its Settings pane
Bulgarian keyboard is in the BDS layout, not QWERTY layout
On iPod Touch 2G the Voice Memos app now successfully records audio if you plug your microphone after you have started the application
Voice Control over Bluetooth is now available, allowing users to Initiate calls and control music playback via Bluetooth headsets (however, voice control while plugged in to car audio systems no longer works)
It is reported that the version 3.1 improves battery life on the iPhone 3GS[citation needed]
Updates the "Carrier" profile for U.S. users to "AT&T 4.2" as opposed to "AT&T 4.0"
Improves reception
iTunes Store icons rearrange themselves back to default after opening and closing the app
Developer Extras
Improvements to OpenGL and Quartz
API's allow third party apps to access videos and edit them
Gives programmers their choice of video recording quality
A pair of new app interface classes that are known to relate to graphics, but which haven't had their functions identified
Calendar event alerts will be shown also with a pop-up, much like push notifications
Xcode 3.1.3 has also been released and is said by people aware of the update to improve facilities for creating a new project as well as setting a target configuration.[citation needed]
Beta 2
Enables connectivity to devices for developmental purposes wirelessly instead of requiring tethering via the dock connector
New accessibility options including VoiceOver and high contrast mode can be toggled with three clicks on the home button, as well as new video saving and editing buttons.
Updates the "Carrier" profile for U.S. users to "AT&T 4.5"
Beta 3
Ability to copy and paste full quality videos from camera into email
Under usage tab in settings able to view data sent and received over tethering
Instruments over Wi-Fi
New Enhancements to Core Audio in iPhone
Failover support for HTTP live streaming
Developers reporting removal of vibration feedback when putting icons into rearrange mode

I expect it will be announced and scheduled for release at the end of September. I would be surprised, again, if it was available September 9th. I believe 2.1 was announced at a music event as well, and we got it at the end of the month.

I was just wondering, did anyone really need that clarification at the end of the title? (a question)

I'd be interested to know that also. My speakerphone is sorely lacking, IMO.
What I'm hoping is that 3.1 will allow for copying images and pasting them into the image well for a contact.
Has anyone tried this, or know if it works?

its not too hard to just press on the image and upload the picture. its just as fast
Depends on how 3.1 is.
I'm probably going to be ditching my iPhone and getting an iPod touch after Sept. 9th though, so I don't really care.
PS: Snow Leopard is awesome! It's cool to see something truly good come out of Apple lately.
I'm pretty pumped, mine comes in tomorrow ....got the laptop after june 8th so i got it for 10 bucks but i had to order it online. Kinda mad though because i wont get to put it on till friday because i'll be at pats preseason game. I've been kind of on the same track as you with the ipod touch, iphone decision. I love my iphone, but i'm way too attached to the thing. I think sometimes i'd be better off with a phone that i dont care too much about.
I feel the same way. I'm thinking about just getting a regular old phone that handles my 15 minutes worth of calls each month and an iPod touch for all the touch craziness. Plus, the iPod touch doesn't have a baseband to screw up upgrades/downgrades and they're generally built a little sturdier (being metal and having less parts). Plus, you get a whole lot more RAM and batter life in an iPod touch because it doesn't have all the phone stuff occupying CPU and RAM. I've been thinking... do I *really* need to obsessively check MacRumors on the go? By the time I get home, there's nothing to do on my desktop computer... heh.
So I think it'll be dumb-phone plus iPod touch (like I had in the old days).

Anyway, back to the original topic. I was wondering when it says that "reception" was better with the update, does that mean signal or signal quality? I'm finding with my 3GS that I don't have as good of signal as others' 3G's. It's not off by a lot, but in low signal areas it's the difference between one bar and no bars.
Can I expect maybe an extra bar with this update?
Looking forward to the better wifi signal too, because I noticed a big difference on that as well.
