Apple today released a statement regarding the use of iPhone unlocking programs and the changes they make to the iPhone. Apple claims that many of the unauthorized iPhone unlocking programs available online cause “irreparable damage” to the iPhone’s software, and that a future Apple-supplied iPhone software update will likely cause modified iPhones to become “permanently inoperable.” The company also revealed that it will release the next iPhone software update, containing “many” new features including the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, later this week. Apple went on to strongly discourage iPhone owners from installing unauthorized unlocking programs, and gave the following warning to those still considering the option: “Users who make unauthorized modifications to the software on their iPhone violate their iPhone software license agreement and void their warranty. The permanent inability to use an iPhone due to installing unlocking software is not covered under the iPhone’s warranty.”
“CDs are slowly going the way of the VHS tape and the BlaupunktMelbourneSD27 car receiver/audio player is just further proof of that. The receiver has no CD player at all, instead, it plays MP3’s and WMA files, includes an MMC/SD card reader and has an LED display that’ll show all of your ID3 files and folders.”
What’s your guess? If you accidentally open every application on your Macbook Pro at one time, will it crash or can it handle the load? It’s running 10.4.10 with 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 3 GB of DDR2 SDRAM. After 12 minutes of churning along and in internal temp of over 160 degrees F, this is what happened…
Now Playing controls throughout. I’ve complained about this before and thankfully, it’s on the way.
Double clicking home screen goes to “Favorites” or “iPod”
iTunes Wifi Store. No surprise there. It’s already running on the Touch.
Additional iPod features: Closed captioning and support for video out.
New Calculator icon on the home screen. Hmmm, okay.
Multiple, international keyboards.
Network setup with VPN support and disabling EDGE while roaming. Goodbye $3,000 international roaming bills.
Mysterious “Carrier” menu. My personal hope would be support for other carrier’s SIMs internationally within the iPhone family. For example, I travel to England and can insert an O2 SIM.
Speculation as to when this will be released is rampant but I think we all hope sooner rather than later.
The Touch’s manual shows an option for “.” Shortcut whereby double-tapping the space bar enters a period followed a space. This one is right out of the Blackberry’s playbook and presume it will also be in 1.1.1.
