[Thanks, JS]
Update: We deleted installer.app on ours and kicked off the update, things are taking a while but no obvious problems yet. Stay tuned.
Update 2: Success! The phone's restarting now.
Update 3: WiFi Music Store, check. New calculator icon to match the iPod touch, check. Phone had to be reactivated.
Update 4: We're hearing numerous reports of "Incorrect SIM" errors on unlocked iPhones after the update -- user beware!
Hooray, hooray!!
Oh man, this isn't right!
I thought the title read "iPod (Classic) firmware 1.1.1 released"! :-(
But, I'm still glad to see that Apple is updating it finally. Updates are always nice to have! ;)
Does this include the International Keyboards? I've been waiting for Japanese...
No Japanese keyboard. No international keyboard.
Even worse, Japanese font has been changed to very fancy font.
Only 17 years old girls like such foolish font.
Actually, though there are no international keyboards, accents and other letter modifiers have been added in the latest update. I found it by mistake and holding the letter i longer than I should. So if one holds the vowels, S, Z, C, and N a side panel will appear in order for one to select the accent wanted.
Update: I found 1.1.1 can enter Japanese on Safari (but no other applet), IF web form attribute 'lang' is set to 'ja', and once it changes Japanese keyboard, we can continue using it on different forms/pages until Safari is closed.
Not really practical solution though. Most web forms don't specify this attribute (not even Google Japan's home page), and most non 'ja' forms are perfectly fine to enter Japanese. It's still better than nothing but I'd be happier if we're given manual international keyboard option, since it's not perfect world.
Other issue is, it's smart maybe but painfully slow. It's just unbelievable.
I'm afraid to update my iphone. Please post if it ruins your iphone that has hacks on it.
It's not bricked. It's also not unlocked anymore.
Is bricking your iUnlocked iPhone included?
Does it break the Jailbreak access? (first?)
Iphone 1.1.1 will brick all iphones, as well as remove all 3rd party apps. Jailbreak will not work either, so forget your hacked ringtones.
Software people need to develop another hack to get around this!!!!
Beautiful! Lets see if I now own a $600 brick.
surely that's $400? ;-)
Great but does it break the 3rd party programs? Brick "enhanced" systems ;) ? I'm not upgrading until I'm sure it won't
Dude it's a firmware update. Of course it's going to remove 3rd party apps. It won't brick it if you have apptapp or installer.app installed. It'll just overwrite it to a factory state. Same goes for unlocked.
does it break the software sim unlock? thats the question i think everyone here has.
SWEET! Now to buy some songs over wifi
Does it break the broken breaker on my broken iBroke?
LOL!!
rut-roh
still no copy and paste. still not interested in the thing.
Still talking? Still not interested in your opinion.

I'm still not interested in your opinion because I'm too busy figuring out what I'm going to do with thousands of bunk iPod Touch screens!

Will it end world hunger and bring peace to the Middle East?
last time I checked, Qatar, Emirates, Kuwait, and Bahrain are pretty peacefull. ;)
But I'm still hungry.
But theirs transformers in Qatar.. it's not peaceful.
does it say TV OUT?? Did I miss that feature before?
i can't wait to be able to hear my calls... the volume was so not loud enough for new york streets.
Awesome!
I wonder if the volume increase affects the ring tone volume. That's one of my biggest complaints. Hopefully it does.
Does anyone know if you can get podcasts via the wifi music store? I'll find all this out soon enough.
No it doesn't appear so. Ring tone volume seems to have stayed the same.
Upgrade and find out :-)
No it doesn't, I already upgraded.
NO PODCASTS. NO WAY TO REMOVE ICON from home screen. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS??? Some sort of JOKE?
Where is ichat?
iDunno
Also is video out progressive scan or interlaced?
Cool. Here's the text typed out:

Can I re-iterate the request for info on whether jailbreak still works?
no tried jail braking it now it does not work well mine is bricked lol
no. sry
What do you mean bricked? Can you restore?
That's it!? I welcome a few of those changes, but in general all I have to say it "WTH?". There are so many other things that needed to be adjusted or enhanced.
I have a huge list for the google maps app. So much for "exchange push coming soon". Hopefully native app development will now resume and continue to enhance the iPhone.
My sim unlock still works after the update. :)
What software did you use initially to unlock the phone? AnySim?
You people really trust highpitch1204? He could be a troll to get you people to install this and screw your unlock iphone.
It's got some pretty interesting features on there.
Louder speakers, that home button shortcut (tested it on the iPod Touch, it's pretty nifty), support for TV out so I can use it for my car (once we can buy the right cables), turn off EDGE/GPRS.
People complained and Apple really stepped up to the plate, can't wait to see what new features will come up in the future. Now if only they will allow you to use the Notes app in landscape mode.
LOUDER VOLUME....PRAISE THE LORD
People who used iFuntastic to jailbreak their iPhones, please keep us in touch if it breaks things. I want to keep MY ringtones and not pay a buck for them.
It nuked the iFuntastic changes, but didn't brick.
