Apple Upgrades iPhone to 1.1.3, Charges iPod touch Owners $20 for New Apps

For months following the release of Apple's revolutionary iPhone, the news came fast and furiously. In recent times, however, news on the iPhone has been pretty spotty at best (likely to the jubilation of many).

Steve Jobs put an end to the lull in iPhone news today with the introduction of the new 1.1.3 software update. The new update, which is available for free for all iPhone users, adds an upgraded Maps application (which can now triangulate your position using Wi-Fi or cell towers), the ability to text message multiple people at once, Web Clips support, the ability to customize the home screen, and lyrics support within iTunes.

"iPhone doesn’t stand still -- we’re making it better and better all the time," said Jobs, Apple’s fearless leader. "We’ve delighted millions of users with this revolutionary and magical product and it’s great to share these improvements with them."

iPod touch owners will be glad to know that the 1.1.3 software update is also available for them as well. Another big plus is the addition of Mail, Maps, Stocks, Weather and Notes applications from the iPhone.

Users may not be glad, however, when they learn that Apple is charging $19.95 in order to download the application update (separate from the 1.1.3 firmware update). Some contend that these five features should have never been stripped from the iPod touch in the first place, but Apple is now adding in the functionality -- albeit at a price.

All currently shipping iPod touch music players will have the five new apps already installed with no bump in price.

"These amazing new mobile applications make iPod touch not only the best iPod, but the best Wi-Fi mobile device in the world," continued Jobs. "With its revolutionary touch interface and software, plus its stunning 3.5 inch screen, iPod touch is evolving into the first mainstream Wi-Fi mobile platform of the 21st century."

The 1.1.3 update for the iPhone and iPod touch can be downloaded from within iTunes. iPod touch users wishing to receive the new apps, however, will have to get through a payment screen first before proceeding with the software update.

Apple tweaks iPhone for business uses

Apple Inc. is tweaking the iPhone to work better with business e-mail, an expected move that is meant to address a key weakness in the popular consumer device.

The company said Thursday that the next software update for iPhones will enable them to work with Microsoft Corp.'s Exchange software, which is widely used by businesses to handle and secure e-mail.

Apple did not say when the update will be available.

The move puts Apple in more direct competition with Research in Motion Ltd.'s BlackBerry and Palm Inc.' Treo smartphones, which are popular among business customers. Many businesses have shied away from the iPhone because it doesn't work well with their e-mail systems.

iPhone on E-Bay

Thousands of iPhones are on eBay just hours after going on sale, despite a flawed registration process.

Apple iPhone takes America (and eBay) by storm

Apple have been left with quite a few disgruntled customers after the computerised registration process virtually came to a standstill, due to the high volume of customers all trying to register within a few hours of purchase.



The problem was made worse by a mix up with customers of Cingular, which was recently acquired by AT&T. It seems that Cingular customers who were transferred over the AT&T have been accidentally flagged as business customers – but only residential / individual customers are able to subscribe to iPhone plans. So customers affected have had to spend valuable time on hold to customer and technical services to resolve the problems.

Some new iPhone owners waited over 24 hours to register their iPhone through iTunes, and AT&T have stated that it could take up to 36 hours to activate some accounts – which is a kick in the teeth if you have waited for hours (and in many cases days!) outside an Apple or AT&T store to be first in line to use one.

It seems that many of the customers that waited in line for a handset weren’t actually buying for themselves as thousands of handsets have flooded eBay since Friday night. At the time of writing eBay.com currently have just less than 6,000 listings under iPhone, and eBay.co.uk have 47. Although it is unknown how well the USA iPhone will work in the UK as the iPhone is locked to AT&T, and of course there is the tricky registration process with AT&T.
