Google maps is still inaccurate, and in fact, the picture coming from my phone is darker and more yellow. I took the same pic of my workspace, right around the same time of night, the same amount of lighting.
Does the movement of my hand seem smoother when I wave it front of the camera? It would seem...
Switching from horizontal to vertical views is more responsive. Is it me or does it fade in and out now between views?
Safari is snappier. I need more testing to see if it still crashes as often.
my honest opinion is apple promised an update once a month right? they realized hey we are not going to get this sdk and all that stuff out in time....lets take a guy make him change that 1.1.3 number to 1.1.4 fix a bug or 2 and send it out...i mean it makes no sense to randomly throw a update in the middle of the day after the Tuesday apple store going down thing...they promised it and you got it they never promised what would be in each update i mean its not even on the iphone tab...it stills say January 08 update nothing about a February or 1.1.4
they could always turn around and say hey! we put the key essentials of running the sdk in that update
just my opinion

I'm not being arrogant, but I'm pretty sure that you are wrong on both. Apple never said that there would be a software update every month. Second of all, read this and then tell me if Apple never promised us an SDK in February.
Hm, I was browsing through my settings, and at the very bottom of Safari settings is something called "Developer" and inside there is a Debug Console option.. Was this already here? I haven't seen it before.. Thought I'd post anyway.
Yes, that's been there since the beginning.

This was here already. I know when I found it, I was exited. Then I figured out that it was introduced back when developers were making their apps and wanted to test hem or whatever. Too bad...
I don't consider myself to be a nerd but support of Flash would be nice, though I don't think it is in Apples plans. It isn't just for YouTube either, which as you note has its own support channels. One of the big problems is CNN and frankly I don't thin of that as a nerd site.
I suspect Apple will simply wait for the coming HTML standards to mature and for browser support to come. The big question is how fast will industry switch over.

the debug console option has been there since at least firmware version 1.1.1 when i got my touch
I'm sorry to inform you but it was really just training. Good news is though my store is switching to ATT soon.
ye i might have misunderstood what i read but i was under the impression it was one a month

Aren't we all? his is way more confusing than any other update by Apple that I have seen.

Safari runs ALOT better!
Safari doesn't crash now.

"All" this update offers is bugfixes, and so far the ability to actually use mobile safari without it crashing is quite nice. When you're using Edge to browse, and every couple pages it would crash, requiring you to restart safari, and then renavigate to that page. Repeat a little while later. Very frustrating, and very happy to see that this appears to be a lot better.
Why people can't be happy that they have at least addressed what was a major shortcoming with the features already in the phone instead of rushing out to try and implement new features I don't know.
I've got no illusions about an SDK being worth anything other than more anticipation at this point. All it being released will signal is the beginning of another wait until the people who will use it get some worthwhile and stable apps ready. I'd much rather Apple took it's time to give them a good set of tools than to have them rush an incomplete and buggy system out the door, only to have to change it later, and disrupt a lot of work in progress. I'll be happy to see it released, but it won't do anything by itself.

"Roll Back Driver" in Windows = Activate iPhone?
OK, So I just had the weirdest thing happen.
For some reason I've been unable to connect both my iPhone to my computer AND my usb wireless adapter.
If one is connected and I plug in the other, the other disconnects. Quite the annoyance, but not life ending.
Well somehow I got the 1.1.4 update to download in iTunes, disconnected my wireless and proceeded to update the iPhone off-line.
The update finished and the iPhone then wanted to connect to the iTunes store to activate. Shiat!
So franticly I try everything to get both my iPhone & Belkin usb wifi adapter playing nice, but to no avail. Double Shiat!
Finally I unplug the wireless dongle completely and restart my comp.
After the reboot, I had the iPhone plugged in but it sat not being recognized by Windows with the ipod cord plug image sitting on the screen.
So thinking maybe the two usb devices aren't playing well because of a driver conflict, I go into the device manager.
Since itunes and the iphone are the only software to be updated lately I try rolling back the iphone driver in the Device Manager....
Now is when it gets interesting...
I click the "Roll back driver" button and my iPhone blinks on chirps and says "iPhone activated".
I'm like....wtf.... I slide it unlocked and check the settings and indeed, it's activated and says it's version 1.1.4
Anyone else heard of such an oddity?
Maybe this a fluke, or could the driver rollback throw similar signals to the iPhone's usb-port as the activation event?
It'd be quite the coincidence if true.

This was expected. It was a little ridiculous to think that over one night, every Starbucks in the entire country was suddenly going to adopt an iPhone ordering program with no notice and only 3 hours of training. I can definitely see the iPhone ordering system coming to Starbucks, I just think it will be announced and slowly integrated in the way that iTunes WiFi and Starbucks was. Hopefully we do eventually see it because it would be a nice feature.
It's definitely got something fishy hiding in the shadows, only a matter of time before it's unveiled or snooped out
I had a bit of trouble with the update. after the updated completed, itunes said no iphone was recognized and that I needed to restore the iphone.
I unplugged and replugged the iphone and a screen popped up saying that my iphone needed to be activated(no service from att). about 5 seconds later, it told me it was activated and att service resumed.
iphone was recognized and I didn't need to restore. everything is workign fine now. Just wondering if anyone else experience anything like that?
by the way, I haven't noticed anything different.
I used the web extensively on the iphone today and it crashed twice.

wrong!

Digg doesn't seem as bad for me.
The BBC iPlayer messageboard also used to crash Safari almost without fail, and now appears to work perfectly, which is very good news.
