iOS 4.1 Beta: Game Center, Facetime Favorites, Spelling Correction, More...
Aside from the signal bar changes, Apple has also made a number of other small improvements to iOS in their latest beta which was released to developers tonight.
Game Center returns to the beta releases with a brand new look (screenshot above). Game Center is Apple's matchmaking and leaderboard social network for iOS games. The lack of Game Center in the official iOS 4.0 release caused some confusion, but Apple had never intended Gamecenter to be launched alongside 4.0. Instead, Apple had promised Game Center to come out later this year.
It remains in beta testing for now with no announced release date. The style of the app, however, has been dramatically changed from the original release.
We've also collected a list of other changes that users have noticed in the 4.1 beta.
- Flash/Camera buttons reposition themselves in landscape (see above).
- Favorites in the Phone app can now be added as Voice or Facetime.
- Check Spelling can be turned Off in Setting
We'll continue to update as we collect more reports.

The ability to turn off spell check. Awesome. My spelling is far superior to humans. I hate that damn thing.

Not at all. Machines can be programmed to spell words that I have no concept of, like medical terms and such. A machine is far superior to me on that.

What about sending pictures taken in portrait via email? Are they orientated correctly now?
How about sending an email from within an app when you have an IMAP configured? Does the email get stuck in the outbox?

I don't know about you, but I would not mind having that classic Mac right there. I collect the old ones and own the new ones of course. LOL
