Yesterday was a huge day for Apple, with one of the big announcements coming in the way of iTunes 9. So it’s no surprise that iTunes 9 support is one of the main features of the new iPhone 3.1 update.

MacWorld have talked about this in detail, including images for you to look at too.

Other talking points of the new update is Genius Playlists, which recommends music and automatically creates mixes for you. You can also do this with your iPhone apps, as the new feature will record your habits and select apps for you, based on your recent activity.
