iOS 4.1 to have HDR capability

Of all of Apple's announcements today, the one that has me stoked is the capability to do HDR photos on the iPhone, with the upcoming iOS 4.1 update, which may be as soon as next week. Cool!

Edit: Bummer. Apple has decided that HDR is only worthy of the iPhone 4, though technically my 3GS is supposedly capable of it if I were to jailbreak it or buy an application to do it. Since I don't want to do either of those things, I guess I'll have to be happy doing HDR photos with a real camera and not a teeny-tiny, crappy cellphone sensor shooting through a smeary, fingerprint-covered plastic lens cover.
