did any of you hear about this? (software update)

[Wangmaster]

"Speaking to analysts for RBC Capital Markets this week, Apple's Vice President of iPod Product Marketing, Greg Joswiak, said the first software update for his company's iPhone handset is due to arrive shortly."

"Abramsky speculated that upcoming iPhone software updates would include new widgets, peer-to-peer applications (chat, picture messaging, social networking), location-based services, MMS support, home networking, and possibly some integration with Mac OS X Leopard."

It's the speculation du jour. That's all.

yep. they are just speculating. i do hope we see custom ringtones and ichat in this update, but i had a gut feeling that it will just be something to close the activation loophole and battery meter issues.

i think a major update will come around the time leopard in released that will include mms, flash, etc...

maybe it'll come in early august when Apple is rumored to release the new imac and ipods.

Seems like no one has noticed this and it isn't even listed in the new DOCS ONLINE.

There is now the OPTION in MAIL SETTINGS to BCC YOURSELF on all mail. It used to be CC. Don't know why it isn't listed in the UPDATED MANUAL which is actually dated as AUGUST 1 so maybe it'll be in there tomorrow? Anyway, just thought I'd point it out for people.

Not much to the first update other than a few security bug fixes.

A little update, with even littler fixes but hey, any progress is good progress. (Please PLEASE come out with iChat, im dying here)
