Apple iPhone 1.1.4 firmware to come during SDK launch?

Your IT - Mobility

Not long before Tiny Code’s website was taken off the Internet, someone had the presence of mind to capture a screenshot of what they said.

You can see this screenshot at Macenstein’s website, and elsewhere on the Internet, but as Macenstein have reported, you can see that an update on the Tiny Code said explicitly mentioned that they were “Now targeting fw 1.1.4 Alpha2”.

Macenstein speculates that anyone wanting to run new software developed in conjunction with the official SDK will need to download the new 1.1.4 firmware first.

They also note that it is a little surprising that, if this is indeed the case, the 1.1.4 firmware still appears to be only in ‘alpha’ stage, a stage of software development that is earlier than beta and definitely in the ‘not ready for prime time’ category, with the iPhone/iPod Touch SDK due to arrive in only two weeks.

Still, as Macenstein says, Apple has a lot of programmers working on the iPhone’s version of OS X, especially now that Leopard is complete (despite receiving  updates of its own), so perhaps they can go from alpha to beta to complete in only two weeks time.

Apple are miracle workers after all, bringing us the iPhone and iPod Touch in the first place, so it’s eminently possible.

Macenstein also repeats a long held request from users of Apple’s two handhelds, one which we are happy to repeat too: can we please have the ability to copy and paste?

As one inventive YouTube user has shown in their own home made video an easy way Apple could offer iPhone and iPod Touch the ability to copy and paste - without stuffing up the revolutionary ease of use both devices offer.

It’d certainly be a ‘one more thing’ all iPhone users would dearly love to be surprised by. C'mon Apple - we all hope you'll make it happen!
