Hands-on with new features including Game Center and HDR photo option

After installing Game Center, you’ll see a new icon on your home screen (bottom left).

The initial screen of Game Center gives you the option of signing in with an existing Apple account or creating a new account.

When connected to wi-fi, you’ll now have the option of uploading HD videos directly to YouTube and a MobileMe account. This is another iPhone 4-only feature.

With iOS 4.1, you can initiate FaceTime videocalls directly from the Favorites menu in your phone book.

Though US users have always been able to purchase TV programmes, they can now rent select episodes much as you would with movies. Individual programmes cost 99 cents. Note that you can’t rent entire television seasons.

This service isn’t yet available in the UK but the functionality is there and just requires Apple to sign deals with UK broadcasters.

The Ping option is now available from the main iTunes menu.

You can confirm that your iPhone has 4.1 by accessing General option in the Settings menu.
