- 5x digital zoom

If you got a jailbreaked / unlocked [] iPhone or iPod touch, then you should wait for the next jailbreak solution to be released first.
To update your modern iOS device to iOS 4.1, get iTunes 10 (or later) and update from it. iPad users have to wait awhile longer for iOS 4.2 update.
