Finally the Firmware update we’ve all been waiting for folks. This latest leaked update ver. 1.1.3 will include many fixes and cool updates that we all wished for. I’m mostly excited about the multiple SMS texting feature. I’ve tried numerous hacked programs and they jsut don’t seem to compare to apples default program built into the phone.

Still no Picture SMS support!!! (Hopefully very soon)

Well the Apple iphone features that are included in this update are very cool and this is considered a major update.
The edit Home screen icon feature is top-notch (picture shown below)

Although this update is leaked and will probably be released during Macworld in 2 weeks from now, there is currently no way to hack or jailbreak this release. The only way to update is through itunes and Apple will make you use the default AT&T plan and apple default iphone features from the box.

An awesome Application for Text Messaging and SMS has been recently updated and works great. When the iPhone was released i was very sad to find out that i could not send SMS to multiple contacts, forward or delete just that one text message… Good News!

Now the Apple iphone program SMSD will allow you to manage and forward certain messages as well as delete incoming or sent messages.. You can forward messages and send an SMS to a group list now. Finally someone else feels my frustration with apple for the need for this simple SMS application.. I don’t understand why Apple would not include this in the first place. My only guess was that they had trouble figuring out how the ichat style texting would work with multiple recipients.

Apparently Apple released this feature on the iphone before it was truly ready. Apple iPhone Visual Voicemail is an awesome feature that only AT&T offers right now. Soon i think all cell phone makers & carriers will be using enhanced voicemail features such as apples.

All iPhone plans include Visual Voicemail, an industry first, which allows consumers to see a listing of their voicemails, decide which messages to listen to, then go directly to those messages without listening to previous messages. Just like email, Visual Voicemail on iPhone enables users to immediately and randomly access the messages that interest them most. Unlike most wireless plans that charge additional fees for new features, there are no additional fees for Visual Voicemail.

I knew that Apple would win numerous awards for this beautiful phone. Look at it and try to compare it with another cell phone that has the same kind of technology. It doesn’t exist. Apple’s iphone will change the cellular phone industry forever as many other companies are trying to make touch screen phones that are similar to iphone. Can they beat Apples gem? We can only wait and see what happens next.

1. The iPhone is pretty
Most high-tech companies don’t take design seriously. They treat it as an afterthought. Window-dressing. But one of Jobs’ basic insights about technology is that good design is actually as important as good technology. All the cool features in the world won’t do you any good unless you can figure out how to use said features, and feel smart and attractive while doing it.
