iPhone firmware 1.1.3 update announced: it's just like we heard

by Thomas Ricker posted Jan 15th 2008 at 11:49AM

If you saw the 1.1.3 leaked firmware then this isn't a surprise. The new iPhone firmware features Google maps with location, up to 9 total home screens, Webclips, the ability to SMS multiple recipients, and more. That more being lyrics, subtitles, languages, chapters, in your iPod media. To customize a screen you just touch and hold the icon for a couple of seconds and it begins to "shake." Right, just like we saw in the video. Flicking your finger across the screen moves to the next screen. iPod touch users, it's all yours for $20. No, we're not kidding.

If you're having problems updating to 1.1.3, you'll have to do the following:

Update iTunes to the latest version.
Reboot
Reconnect iPhone and follow prompts.

You need iTunes 7.5 or later to install the iphone update, otherwise you'll get the 1603 or 1604 error message.

Success! 1.1.3 updated w/o issue, but phone wouldnt reconnect to iTunes to reactivate. A quick power cycle of the iPhone and it detected in iTunes, activated, and was good to go.

Triangulation in Google Maps pegged me within 1/3 of a city block in the SOMA area (one block from Moscone West).

So far, I've added a couple shortcuts to NextBus, Google, and Engadget to my home screen.

Engadget: Please provide a better bookmark icon like Google does! I have not been able to get a decent looking icon for my Engadget bookmark other than the image of Dead Gadgie (http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/2008/01/dead-gadgie.jpg).
