I'd be ok with Flash for now.
Maybe we'll find out what that iTunes Radio is all about with this one as well.
Got a tip for us?

I think that the "the" in the previous statement (or the "a") needs to go.
This is a great update somewhat - I'm not to sure how many Cantonese speakers are US (or Europe) citizens/immigrants/expatriates/... and would therefore have iPhones legally ...
I18N?
Surely, you jest. This doesn't count as an "update". This is programming de riguer in the modern world. Ridiculous.

No love for Mandarin speakers? 
Hey, how come my iPhone has Cantonese support but my Mac doesn't?

No! People should take it harshly! They should be outraged! They should complain as if the world is ending and the sky is falling! Apple and AT&T need to be given limits - they need to get the message or have it smashed into their faces.
It is absurd what we cannot do with our own purchase. Currently, Apple is selling a screwdriver that zaps you every time you want to use it on a different screw than what they say you should. They need to understand that consumers won't be good sheep and let their rights slip away. The DRM fiasco where songs are owned but only so much as the company lets you has been ridiculous and painful enough. Having to buy your song twice if you use it as a ringtone fueled the flames. Making updates with the express purpose of destroying what we have found useful is bad enough. We should not tolerate more abuse and against overwhelming negative PR, Apple and AT&T will have to respect us. That the industry has always spit on its customers is no comfort to me and it is time for change.
I would really appreciate some bug fixes:
1. Way too many Safari crashes.
2. The "Play" arrow will spontaneously come on while I'm browsing on Safari, and it sucks up battery life. I have to manually switch back to the iPod, turn on a song, and then turn it off to ge the blue arrow to stop showing "Play." This is a known bug, Apple. Fix it!

Huh
last time i checked i can do whatever I want with my phone
I can choose to upgrade it, I can choose not to
I can choose to hack it, I can choose not to
Most cell phones never get upgrades, the original factory installed firmware in June would work just fine for most things.
Just because apple releases a new update doesn't mean you have to install it; your hacks were never supported to begin with. And someone will make them work likely in the near future, so quit having a cow and leave it up to the folks who do the real hacking to find a way to make things work with the new version.
Strange bug, never seen that one. I have had it system level lockup with the page oriented one way and the system bar going vertical along the side......now that was weird...
I agree though, wtf is up with safari, the browser craps out way too often. how on earth are they using the same desktop safari engine? my desktop safari doesn't crap out

I hope those arent the only updates. We need Flash, mms and video recording as well as voice, if they did this and apple didnt upgrade it for a year Id still be happy.

cantonese is a dialect of putonghua... its written form is simplified or traditional chinese. whomever gave that tip is a moron.
I had some 3rd party apps installed via jailbreakme.com, but upon hearing this news, I promptly restored my phone, as I like to stay safely, legally, and securely up to date.
Umm, updating wouldn't have done anything bad to you if you had left the third party apps there, they would just have gotten over-written.
And as far as hacking goes, this update will be broken, just as all others, it is just a matter of time. As long as iTunes connects to the phone, then it will be possible to hack it.
I am all for Apple finding a way to prevent people from hacking the phone. I get excited every time there's talk of phones getting "bricked" because the people who hacked the phone had it coming. Apple has every right to fight off hackers with new updates, and I give them my full support in their quest to screw over anyone who tries to mess with their product.
What have the people who hacked their phones done to you?
I don't get why people like you bash hackers, if you don't agree with them, then ignore them! Just leave the people who hack their phones alone, it is their choice and it that choice does not affect you in any way! So why the hate?
Not really.
Cantonese is the dialect we speak in the Guangdong Province.
However, Putonghua was somehow derived from Manchurian. (I am not going to explain in detail here...)
Therefore, strictly speaking, Cantonese is not a dialect of Putonghua.
Whether we write Simplified or Traditional Chinese doesn't depend on which language we speak. In Hong Kong and Macau, we speak Cantonese but we write in Traditional Chinese (because both were colonies by the time Simplified Chinese was 'invented'). However, in the rest of the Guangdong Province, people mainly speak Cantonese but they write in Simplified Chinese.
Ya, I know it's quite complicated.
1.1.2 seems to be a useless update
I can type all the chinese I want right now, with my unlocked 1.1.1
Apple cant force iPhone user to update. And its just a matter of time that 1.1.2 will be hacked..
Come on, there are like thousands or more hackers working on it. Thats thousands vs one...
How do you get the chinese keyboard to come up? Is Korean also available?
You're kidding right?
How about teaching thousands of people how to exploit security holes in the iPhone.
Yeah no impact on anyone!
I will not install 1.1.2 if it only gives an international keyboard and languages. I will also be pretty mad if Apple breaks iToner again. I don't see what their issue is with it. iToner doesn't jailbreak the phone, it only messes with the user area, leave it alone. I won't update my phone again until Apple gives me something worthwhile like a new app or something.
I dont know if they are talking about something different but you can enable the international keyboard on 1.1.1 by changing a value in a plist file. I have both English and Japanese keyboards working on mine right now
Yeah, but that's it ! Without a hack and adding Open Vanilla, I can't input Chinese script, which is why I'm waiting to buy a Touch.
Anyways, the article is only talking about character sets. The iPhone can already show two sets of Chinese characters (simplified and traditional), Hong Kong/ Cantonese computer users use an additional character set including some characters not found in the Mandarin character sets.
Inputting those same characters still isn't available natively, but I'm sure is soon on the horizon if they really want to sell iPhones in the Chinese speaking world.
