Apple has announced the iOS 4.1 firmware update for its iPhone and iPod touch devices. While we patiently await the update, Apple has announced the compatibility of Game Center - its social gaming network service - with different iOS based devices. Out of all the existing devices, Apple's Game Center won't be compatible on iPhone 3G, first generation iPhone and first generation iPod touch.

While we know that iPhone 3G owners might get a bit furious for being left out, it should be noted that the iPod touch second generation has faster and different hardware as we reported in the past. So we suppose that the Game Center app itself must be a bit graphics intensive. Though the iPod touch second generation has 128MB RAM inside its body, the 533MHz ARM1176JZ(F)-S microprocessor can speed up to 620MHz.



The Game Center, with iOS 4.1 firmware update, will be compatible on the following devices:

- iPhone 4
- iPhone 3GS
- iPod touch 2nd Generation
- iPod touch 3rd Generation
- iPod touch 4rd Generation

Do keep checking your iTunes 10 after attaching your iOS device to download and install the new iOS 4.1 update expected today.
