Apple iPhone v1.0.1 Update Now Available

The Webguy writes "Apple has released the first update for the iPhone. Updated components in the v1.0.1 update include Safari, the WebCore, and the WebKit. Quoting from the Apple Knowledge Base, the 'update is only available through iTunes, and will not appear in your computer's Software Update application, or on the Apple Support Downloads site.'" One source speculated that Apple wanted to get fixes in users' hands ahead of the Black Hat conference where details of early iPhone vulnerabilities could be revealed.

Re:Copy/paste (and take the "Phone" out of iPhone)

I'm gonna rant for a while, so move along if you don't want to hear this--you've been warned...

You know how Steve mentioned three things when he introduced the iPhone? Well, two out of three ain't bad--mine wasn't a phone for about 24 hours (and didn't bother to tell me):

• I was trying to make a call and/or send a text message to my wife at about 8pm to tell her that my son and I would be a bit late coming home. No dice.
• I figure it's just my iPhone lying to me about signal strength, so tried a bit later from a different location--no dice.
• I realize that my wife said she tried to call me in the afternoon and that my iPhone didn't even say missed call, new voicemail, or anything.
• Then, I realize that I haven't gotten a call/message/made a call for about 24 hours.
• So I reboot.
• Voila. Several voicemails, missed calls, text messages appear magically. And I can make calls too!

Either this update better address phone-freeze or I'm gonna have to reboot every 24 hours (or chuck it)...
