iPhone 1.1.3 Firmware Sighted

Here are some photos of the recent iPhone 1.1.3 firmware sighting that GearLive came out with. Are they Fake? or Real?

The Apple Community from sites like Digg and Hackint0sh began to speculate regarding weather this photos are real or not. Lets remember that a lot of people are crossing their fingers too. The release of the new 1.1.3 firmware would be the first step for a software unlock for Out of the Box 1.1.2 iPhones.

They are new features that maybe the real thing or some kind of wishes by the guys that created the photoshop work. We have seen many of those, so lets take the news with caution.

1.1.3 Features:

Send an SMS message to multiple people
Google Maps application can now pinpoint your location using cell tower triangulation
Google Maps can now display the Hybrid map view
You can now drag and drop application icons on your home screen
You can now add web bookmarks to your home screen

The photos seems legit, and all but we have to wonder and question, how did he got the new firmware? Maybe Apple is going to request that i get this pictures off

Vtap: Watch any Video on Your iPhone

vtap
You can watch, Videos not only from YouTube but from several Video providers of the web. You can watch videos from various parts like MySpace, Dailymotion, Associated Press ,Reuters and ESPN. The magic of this app is that it encodes any Flash video to a native Quick Time player format H.264.

I havenÂ´t tested on my iPhone yet, but it seems that this web app should fill a large gap the iPhone left, by not supporting Flash, this is a good way to solve this problem. This app may be better than the native YouTube app on the iPhone.

If you have an iPhone and a WordPress blog then this is your lucky day, because Dan Cameron released the WordPress Admin Plugin for iPhone. Now when you login to you admin account through your iPhone you will see a minimalist interface suited for the iPhone. Now we can post on the go, but with some limitations, thereâ€™s no copy/paste right?

Horizontal typing may come handy. I write faster, because there is more room between keys, does that happen to you?

Download iUnlock Reloaded

upload all 3 files to your phone in some location you prefer
ssh in
run iUnlock_Reloaded (./iUnlock_reloaded)
be happy if its done

Sam a member of the iPhone Dev Team says this:

The push the button iCandy gui version is not yet released casue of troubles with the new toolchain. Will be out in a few, once toolchain is fixed up.

This is a faster method and you will be able to get flashing the firmware in 5 minutes or less a great improvement from those 20 minutes of pain with the first realease

If you have windows then use this file:

Unlock.pxl

And install it with iBrickr
