Apple on Thursday released an update to the iPhone OS, bringing it to version 3.1.2. The minor update reportedly fixes a handful of issues with the software. 

According to Apple, the update — which applies to the iPhone, iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS — has the following improvements: 

• Resolves sporadic issue that may cause iPhone to not wake from sleep
• Resolves intermittent issue that may interrupt cellular network services until restart
• Fixes bug that could cause occasional crash during video streaming

The update, which weighs in at over 200MB, can be downloaded through iTunes. A corresponding update for the iPod touch was also released. 

A month ago, Apple released iPhone OS 3.1, which debuted a number of new features, including a Genius recommendation system for software in the App Store. It also added ringtones from record labels, directly into the iTunes application on the phone. 

Of course the iPhone Dev Team has to have their say on 3.1.2…

Yesterday, the Dev-Team tweeted about their concern with the release of Snow Leopard and jailbreaking. They said,

“If you get both Snow Leopard & iPhone on Fri, easiest to jailbreak 1st, update to Snow 2nd  Til any kinks are worked out.”

However, a little later they tweeted,

“Lots of tweets that redsn0w and PwnageTool work great on Snow Leopard, so *should* be kink-free Friday! Thanks twitterers!”

So, if you are getting (or got) Snow Leopard today, you should be good to go.

A new version of Facebook for iPhone OS 3.0 is available now with many new features and improvements. 

The App Store description still contains information for version 2.5; however, the actual download is now version 3.0. I simply deleted my previous Facebook app from Applications then redownloaded it to update to the new version. 

So Whats New in This Update? 
1. The “new” News Feed 
2. Like 
3. Events (including the ability to RSVP) 
4. Notes 
5. Pages 
6. Create new photo albums 
7. Upload photos to any album 
8. Zoom into photos 
9. Easier photo tagging 
10. Profile Pictures albums 
11. A new home screen for easy access to all your stuff, search, and notifications 
12. Add your favorite profiles and pages to the home screen 
13. Better Notifications (they link to the comments so you can reply) 
14. Quickly call or text people right from the Friends page 
15. Messages you are typing will be restored if you quit or are interrupted by a phone call 
16. Video uploads for the 3GS 

one feature they don’t seem to mention is the mini-browser (like IM+) where you click links & it now loads in the Facebook app vs closing it & launching Safari in the previous version

As anticipated, Apple on Wednesday evening delivered iTunes 8.1 with performance enhancements, support for CD imports to iTunes Plus, and new Genius features. Separately, the company also updated its Front Row media application.

iTunes 8.1 (65.4 MB) “is now faster and more responsive,” Apple says. “You will enjoy noticeable improvements when working with large libraries, browsing the iTunes Store, preparing to sync with iPod or iPhone, and optimizing photos for syncing.”

In addition, iTunes 8.1 provides several other improvements and bug fixes, including:

• Supports syncing with iPod shuffle (3rd generation).




• Allows friends to request songs for iTunes DJ.




• Adds Genius sidebar for your Movies and TV Shows.




• Improves performance when downloading iTunes Plus songs.




• Provides AutoFill for manually managed iPods.




• Allows CDs to be imported at the same sound quality as iTunes Plus.




• Includes many accessibility improvements.




• Allows iTunes U and the iTunes Store to be disabled separately using Parental Controls.

iTunes 8.1 also includes a couple of security enhancements.

Front Row Update 2.1.7

Meanwhile, Front Row Update 2.1.7 (13.3 MB) has also been released, promising to deliver improved compatibility with iTunes 8.1.

One of the things I thought the iPhone would do off the bat was have the Clock application icon be animated reflecting the actual time. Of course, that was not the case, until now…
LiveTime simply does just that, animates the Clock application’s icon to reflect the actual time. Simple, neat.

• You can now pause apps by clicking the icon while it downloads/installs.

• Tripple clicking the microphone button (attached to included headphones) now goes to the previous song played/in a playlist. (Credit to Sealit).

• New podcasts & videos had “filled” blue bubbles next to them to indicate that they were new, but with 2.1, if you have “half-played” a podcast or video, it will include a half filled blue bubble. (Credit to Dangeresque).

That’s right! It seems that there is no modem/baseband update for first gen iPhone who update from 2.0, 2.0.1 or 2.0.2 to 2.1. This means that first gen iPhone owners can update to to 2.1 and their unlocked modem/baseband remains. This is great news if you need the latest bug fixes or like me just like to keep up to date even if it means suffering the consequences of being an early adopter.

What’s the catch this time? Well as always you will loose all third party Apps NOT installed with the AppStore, i.e. anything installed with Installer or Cydia. You will also loose the jailbreak and ability to install third party apps via Cydia or Installer or have file access via AFP or SSH.

The Dev Team are working on a update to PWNAGE that will bring back full read/write capabilites as well as your favorite third party app installers Cydia and Installler. Until then if you dare, enjoy 2.1 the way Apple intended, but unlocked of course.
