iOS 4 - The Little Things

There are a few little iOS 4 news tidbits worth mentioning that may have gotten glossed over with all the hubbub. First, Game Center appears to be missing! While it seemed no games updated today supported it, it ultimately didn’t matter as it’s not even included. And here we thought the “Gold Master iOS 4″ actually meant it was the final version. Will Game Center come as a separate download later on (like iBooks) or is it just gone? Second, iTunes now has file transfers directly to aware applications. Computer versions of these applications are no longer required to move documents/files between them (like the DocsToGo document manager application). It’s not a true filesystem, but it’s a step in the right direction. Third, iPhone 3G users found out why they didn’t get backgrounds, directly from Steve Jobs himself. Finally, Apple can collect location data (like Android phones) for more localized, relevant ads. This can be disabled by going to this link, and iAds will be replaced with generic ones.
