I don't care about Flash one way or another, because I agree it's garbage. My only argument is that it should be supported, because of it's heavy usage on the internet. But I'm standing firm on MMS.
Got a tip for us?

Out of all seriousness, Safari does seem snappier. It doesn't crash when I go on to MySpace and it takes less time to load web pages!
Ssssssssssssh
Probably doesn't have anything to do with the reboot process after an update. Considering most phones have been running since the last.
Normal users don't use flash or video sites ON THEIR PHONE! To complain that Apple has some sort of obligation to support something that 99% of the market doesn't support is a little over the top.
But I do think it is reasonable to ask nicely.

Well I for one really wish I knew what word is was trying to say. The suspense is killing me.
Calling people dumb is a great way to be taken seriously. Still, I'm a sucker so I'll bite.
I don't know if there is or isn't a change, but... there are any number of ways software could affect the camera function. Compression techniques could change, screen refresh rate could be increased, memory usage could be tweaked, etc. The camera may be hardware, but it's run by SOFTWARE if you hadn't noticed.
Regarding Flash, there are reasons it might not be feasible to implement on the iPhone, but screen size isn't one of them. Are you trolling?
As for the SDK, who's this "we" you're referring to? You sure don't sound like a developer.
Safari unloading
Well.... I havn't fully tested the safari page unloading thing, but so far its better, but still unloads after a few tabs (7 for me, but it probably varies depending on page size). Again, someone mentioned that it is because of the RAM size, which is perfectly acceptable.
As for Flash and WMV, its perfectly excusable. Its a fricken phone/ipod. You can't expect it to do everything your $2000 macbook does at about a fifth the cost.

Regarding Flash vs. H.264.
Is Flash a standard? Does it matter? Just like Microsoft Word's .doc format, Flash is immensely popular and that makes it a standard in practical sense.
That said, even though iPhone has support for H.264 codec, it does not render page with embedded H.264 contents (or even MP3 playing in the background). So practicality wins again. iPhone Safari does not support webpage with embedded rich contents of any kind.

Sent Mail sound off/on is not new in 1.1.4 - i have this option on my 1.1.3 iphone.
I don't agree with the idea these updates are released to stop unlockers. These updates aren't forced on people and if there is nothing worthwhile in upgrading, why do it? It seems silly. Folks who unlock/jailbreak their phone know better than that.
Who knows what 1.1.4 is really for. Lately, Apple has been doing some pretty bizarre things.
it fixed the text ordering issue..atleast on mine
yayyy thats what ive been wanting
now bring on the SDK

As far as meebo stayin logged in, i would say yes. I use beejive and i logged in then went to other applications, locked the phone for ten minutes and im still signed in now. So it seems to stay updated, and signed in, which is awesome.
I noticed after mine updated and was rebooting, iTunes recognized the phone, then suddenly tried accessing the iTunes store. Maybe something to do with the Application delivery system? hope so.

Well, 1.1.3 introduced one MAJOR system change - the addition of the 'mobile' account in addition to the 'root' account - adding a separation of process space. No doubt this change was in anticipation of opening up the phone to 3rd party apps - with security being at the top of the list. I'm thinking that there could be any number of tweaks or bug fixes related to the 'mobile' account on you iPhone in this release...

iPod touch with Apple radio remote?
Does the new update allow the radio remote to work with the iPod touch\iPhone?

1.1.4 Kills My WiFi
Just when I thought it was safe to upgrade,... grrrrrrr
Since I've gone to 1.1.4, my Wifi won't work. Everything looks ok in the Wifi settings, but it just sits there on Edge, even though I'm 2 feet from my Airport base station! My wife's iPhone is still on 1.1.3, and her Wifi is fine...
Hold the presses... I've been screwing with my iPhone for almost a half hour on this, I'd get an occasional Wifi, then a quick switch back to Edge. So while I registered with MacRumors and started writing this, I left it plugged in. Now it is connecting to my Wifi station. What is this?... VooDoo?... Self Healing?
Who knows? Has anyone else seen this problem?
Right now I'm REALLY glad it's working! (phew!)

I'm right there with you on MMS. If we do end up getting Flash before MMS, I will be mad. I find it extremely difficult to believe that it is so hard to bring MMS to iPhone. I don't care if the quality is bad or if the pics don't fully utilize the iPhone screen. It is really simple, I would like to look at the pics that my friends and family send through text message. Just do it already.
