Apple have just released their new update for the iPhone’s operating system, iOS4.1. With this update comes the widely anticipated “Game Center” which is apples shot at making a gaming platform as sociable as, for example, Xbox Live.

It’s billed as a “social gaming network”, and will bring with it the ability to add and invite friends, leaderboards, achievements and will power matchmaking for online multiplayer games.

As Apple demonstrated, sending invites to a friend makes their device display a Push Notification on screen, rather like receiving a text message.

iOS 4.1 also introduces much-requested bug fixes for iPhone 4, including the proximity sensor (which currently refuses to keep the screen shut off while the phone’s pressed to your face), Bluetooth, High Dynamic Range photo-taking options, HD video uploads via WiFi, TV show rentals, and performance enhancements for the iPhone 3G.
