1.1.4 is available... Downloading now!

The sms preview on/off bug seems to be fixed. But you still have to have it locked to get it to be private. (where a text pops up with the persons name and says "Text".)
 
Someone do a diff on 1.1.3 & 1.1.4 and truly see what is "new"...

Well the huge file size could mean one of two things
either
1. SDK being released soon or apps or whatever or
2. To fix the few bugs they've had to modify a huge amount of code

Edit:

Well if they're all the same size then...
WTF am i talking about 😛

I think Apple should support Flash video. I think they should add .flv to supported formats, and play the video directly instead of using Flash as a middle-man to watch the video.

If that seems confusing, it's because FLV is confusing. You can play FLV with certain applications without Flash, and I think that's what Apple should do.

People using Flash to build entire websites need to wake up and smell the standards.

Flash sucks for websites. It's not a standard, it's not usable. Furthermore, Flash on the iPhone wouldn't work in terms of user interface paradigms. Flash would be slow, it would be choppy, dragging and mouse-over events wouldn't work.

People are either going to complain about a crappy Flash, or they're going to complain about no Flash. Apple decided to have no Flash, and it's a smart decision. Anything worth doing is worth doing right, and Flash can't be done "right" on the iPhone, so why do it?

I agree it's stupid to build an entire site in Flash.
I hate it. The old Jackson site was done in PHP and worked great. And it was fast too. Who ever thought up the idea for intro animations needs to be dragged to the street and shot.
BUT... it's there and on a ton of sites.
I doubt they will all go out and redo their sites for us iPhone users.

Listen, it's cumbersome, unreliable and ridiculous. End of story. Just yesterday I attempted to send 3 different pictures, twice each, to a friends carrier email. None of them showed up. It's not a new way of doing things, it's a crappy hack work around that doesn't work half the time. And it still doesn't resolve the problem of not being able to view them on my phone. THE PAGE REQUIRES FLASH.

The page requires flash from a browser with a desktop ID string. Since the pics do show on the iPhone once in a blue-fricken' moon, it's not flash on the iPhone version of the page. However, I agree with everything else you said. What really kills me, is that Verizon is now blocking these emails, since the pics are sent as an attachment vs. an inline image. I now can't send pics to my wife at all from my phone; really nice when I'm out doing something fun with the kids and want to show her. Aggravating as hell..

Sorry, it's confusing. See, when you visit a site like YouTube, their Flash-powered player loads a movie file to play. The video isn't embedded in the actual Flash file. So you can download this movie file to your computer and play it without Flash. Make sense?

Totally agree.

If flash video burns up battery life, so be it. Watching YouTube videos on the iphone burns up battery. Watching movies or TV shows burns up battery. We don't need to be babysat when it comes to our battery life.
 
anyone else seen/gotten this?

no, just no

if you didn't have any type of flash plug in on your computer that .flv couldn't play

you can't just throw a .flv on an iphone and expect it to play cause apple wants to.

this is why you update flash seperate from safari

I wouldn't be surprised though that there is some sort of more efficient ARM processor utilization with the H.264 video vs. flash. Not saying that flash couldn't be done but uh...yeah.

Has nothing to do with Battery life and everything to do with YouTube. Apple always wants partners and stupid propriety crap. They intentionally cripple there crap. If flash comes it wont be for a long time i bet.
 
I am downloading now. Curious what about those that have finished do you still show a large amount of OTHER space taken up on the phone (the orange bar )?

Yeah like h.246, Apple's evil take-over-the-world video format. Or AAC, which stands for "Atrocious Apple Compression". And HTML/CSS ... and PDF. All evil Apple formats. Oh wait! Let's not forget PNG! Or SVG! Those bastards!
Click to expand...

Actually, Apple has taken the approach that rather than simply support existing technology for which plugins have already been written, they'll use their industry might to get YouTube to convert all their videos to Apple's preferred format. Yeah, I'm sure that'll work for the rest of the net, too.

Getting back to what I actually said, who said anything about "evil take-over-the-world"? It's the opposite, unfortunately: which websites use h.264 or AAC? I'm sure there are some, but compare that to the numbers that use Flash or Windows Media or AVI. For that matter, Microsoft has "standardized" a number of its technologies recently; that doesn't make them THE standard.

Oh, and if you can't tell, I'm totally making fun of you. You're loony. The only case you can make for Apple pushing their own format is with iTunes DRM, which is dying at Apple's own hand.
Click to expand...

You obviously can't read. I said nothing about them pushing their own formats, a losing proposition in any case. They're simply failing to support anything but. iTunes in particular is guilty of this -- even some formats supported by QuickTime can't be used with their proprietary "media library". Gimme a break!

Flash came with my iMac, it's a plug-in just like on Windows. WMV is a hack because Microsoft stopped supporting it on the Mac, and handed it off to Flip4Mac.
Click to expand...

Again, read: by "hacks" I was referring to getting these common media formats to work with Apple's QuickTime media framework and their iTunes media library. "Media" is defined extremely narrowly by these applications.

Flash isn't on the iPhone because of a couple reasons: first, it's not a standard. No, No, NO. NO. Shutup. It's not a standard. It's just not, it's just popular.
Click to expand...

Not good enough. Apple's ads (which were the start of this whole sub-thread) make a claim of "the real internet" not "the ISO approved internet". Normal people understand the former to mean that most sites, whether they use Flash or anything else, will function the same on the iPhone as on a normal browser. You know what that means? It means "standards" take a backseat to compatibility when the two are in conflict.

A small minority of nerds are demanding it, but normal users don't care.
Click to expand...

Normal users never visit sites that use flash, or video sites that don't conform to Apple's narrow rules?
 
everybody thats complaining that flash would take up too much battery are probably the same people that tried to argue on this site that the ipod touch wouldnt have wifi because of battery issues

I can confirm no 802.1x support. How disappointing.

You've got to be kidding me. How big does the petition need to be - even if they don't add the support yet, all I want from Apple is an explanation of why they did not include 802.1x. It just doesn't make sense to me.

*cue the million theorists and their silly ideas*
