iPhone Firmware 1.1.3 Video and Confirmation by iPhone Hacker - with Video
Gizmodo ^ | 12/29/2007

Posted on 12/31/2007 1:02:00 AM PST by Swordmaker

Here's a video of the iPhone Firmware 1.1.3, with confirmation that the leak is real from Natetrue, famed iPhone hacker. Like before, the update breaks unlocks and third-party apps, patching previous vulnerabilities at the same time. The video shows how to move icons around in the Springboard, wobbling to indicate they can be dragged and dropped around, which is kind of an Apple-meets-Nintendo touch:

We had some doubts, but now we can tell you we are sure: the new firmware 1.1.3 is real. Or as Nate puts it: "if it is a hoax, they did a buttload of work." The fact is that it installs normally and it works perfectly. For those not familiar, Natetrue is one of the most respected and veteran iPhone hackers and the author of the popular app iBrickr.

Nate goes on to say that "it installs on the phone no-questions-asked and for that you need to have Apple's private key, which i can confirm that the iphone hacker community does not have—as much as we would love to have it." Indeed, Apple's private encrypted key, used to authenticate all accesses to the iPhone most-private guts, hasn't been uncovered yet by anyone in the world.

I prefer a PDA phone with more powerful native processing, but the little iPhones offer decent bang for the buck and they are quite durable.

I hope they start selling faster than they have been, and spur interest in higher end phones

I’m more interested in what iPod Touch firmware 1.1.3 will bring, given that I own one of the things...

"IPhone outsells smartphones in July" - Reuters, September 4, 2007

Rumors again... approximately 5,000,000 iPhones have been sold since their June 29th launch... if true, how much faster do you want?

How do you keep up with so many? I get a couple of dozen a day and I'm hard pressed to answer the ones that need answering, what with work and stuff. Talk about information overload!

As far as I'm concerned, no spam ever needs answering.

Of course, but if you have to plow through 130 emails - deleting them one at a time on the Iphone - to separate the wheat from the chaff you have a problem)
