Version 1.0.2 available

Flash used to be an animation tool, but it is not now. The Flash 9 player has a lot of horsepower hidden inside of it. Having the Flash 9 player would allow developers an avenue to build all sorts of web applications for the iPhone. Flash player 9 is used to deliver Flex applications so almost anything is possible once the Flash player is made available.

It is more than just showing a video in flash. I could personaly write a chat app, or a video conferencing app, or a game, or almost anything I wanted in Flash. I could also use the Flash player to download files to the iPhone.

Since Apple wants to keep the iPhone closed (jailbreak and such are not sanctioned Apple programs), they have to overcome the flexibility Flash gives developers over the iPhone.

I will agree with the previous poster, getting flash to work on the iphone would not be that easy, in its current interation its quite mouse centric, I suppose with a lot of work you could build a usuable interface but what would be the point But really I think the issue is licensing, have you actually read the adobe flash licensing agreement. Only flashlite can be put on a mobile device, and thats more geared towards win mobile. The embedded os in the iphone is closer in kin to full osx than an embedded os.

second point, I would rather apple concentrate on allowing 3rd party apps, I think they have some technical sticking points and may just be waiting for leapord.

Third point, google is looking at porting gears to to webkit, its not a great leap to imagine that later versions of safari for the iphone will incorporate the latest webkit, which means gears support. Persistant data and code storage.

Now let me poise an open question, do you concentrate on allowing objective c development on the phone or do you find something analogous to visual basic 1, (vb 1 and vb 2 really didn't do well, vb 3 started the revolution) where any developer can pick it up an quickly turn out an app.

Objective C is not the easiest language to learn and without java support the only next alternative is web 2.0 javascript and ajax.

where I think apple really screwed up, is edge support the Iphone cries out for 3g. And will bet we will see that in 2 or 3 more interations of the product. So given apple's products cycles maybe a year. Most "power users" for want of a better term replace cell phones every 12 - 14 months, and since att is not subsidizing the Iphone the upgrade path may not be as bad as cell phone plan upgrades are now.

As does mine. I even tried out yagrax's hypothetical situation that he sent in as a bug to Apple and I had no problems... weird.

Out of curiosity yagrax, are you syncing to a Mac or a PC (Address Book or Outlook)?
 
Main Fix in 1.0.2

NO MORE NOTIFICATIONS OF ACCOUNT BALANCE FOR PREPAID CUSTOMERS!!! I no longer get notifications after each transaction of my account balance.
 
Have the exact same problem lately.

Before I take this baby back I thought I would consult ya'll and see if any of you are having the same problem I am having. I was hoping the 1.02 update would fix it but alas it has not.

My best description --> Every once and a while my speaker and mic shut off. If I am on a call people on the other end cannot hear me and I cannot hear them. It just goes to silence. I can make calls when its acting up and I can see that it connects to the other person but I cannot talk to them or hear them.

I also cannot hear the "click" sounds of my keypad.

I found that if it randomly starts doing this I can plug my head-mic-phones in and it works just fine. Its as if the iPhone, when it starts acting up, thinks my headphones are plugged in.

Restoring is the only way I have found to get it working again, and sometimes it randomly starts working again as well...

Anyone??

No solution on my part unfortunately.
 
My Bluetooth connection with my car is noticeably better under 1.0.2. It now pairs more reliably and stays paired much better than previously. Interestingly, I had to re-discover my car and enter its PIN, so the update appears to have changed the BT software enough to wipe clean my list of BT pairings.

"think so poorly of them"
i totally understand why apple does this...i'm pretty sure it will save them some customer service time & money because of all the inexperienced hackers that end up bricking their phones. They never made these phones with the Intention of them being hacked and modded...so why not protect your product??

Time to put this to rest. "Hacking" your iPhone does not "brick" it. If something fails, you just restore. It is no big deal. It's not like you have to crack it open...
 
I spent yesterday reading all the things people thought the update changed.
I then went home and timed how long it took to down load pages on my wireless coonection at home as well as the Edge connection.

I listened to the speaker loudness, compared email speed, signal strength both ATT and wireless as well as some other things I read here.

I then updated my phone and went through the paces again. I actually timed page download times and did it on three different pages. The same pages were used prior.

Everything was the same. In one case it took longer for the 1.0.2 donload to complete but I attributed that to web traffic. (Cable modem).

I think this is a lot of placebo effect.

Email acted the same on my phone (yahoo).

Loudness---same.

It still couldn't display the maps in motion on the National Weather Service website that uses JAVA.

I often wonder if Apple reads these things knowing what was changed would cause any of them to actually happen. What must they thinking of us?

I've been looking at this site for a month now but just joined to write this.

Every time they make a change it's like people at a crash scene, they all seen something different.

At least last time Apple sort of told us things about the change.

But I was one of the folks with a battery meter problem.

After the change it was working well.

I have to agree with this. I see no difference in anything on mine. Perhaps it was just another security bug they wanted to patch and we're sitting around trying to see if the ipod is fixed, safari sites are working, loudness is increased, wifi is faster, BT works better, etc.

Because I can't recall everyone's NAMES. I may be lookng for a KEYWORD.

e.g.

I met Joey at the BBQ party. I enter Joey's name as a contact, and in the Notes sectin of his contact entry, I enter "BBQ party." Now it's several months later. I can't recall the name of that guy, but I do recall that I met him at some BBQ. On my Cingular 8525 (a Pocket PC phone), I'd simply type a search for "BBQ," and it would bring up related data (contacts, calendar events, notes, documents) associated with BBQ.

Understand? :)

I agree totally! Search is very impoprtant when you have lots of contacts! I have over a 1000 and come from the palm world, used search all the time to find stuff. Sometimes, I would even search the city! I am confindent that a search function will arrive with the first major update.

IF your contact has an address associated with it, you can use MAPS to search for it....

Dale
 
CORRECTION: Oh well, this works, but only for contacts that have addresses associated with them

Oh well....

when typing in a name on MAPS, the first thing it does is search your contacts ( even first names) I use it as a poor man's search function. Actually works pretty good. But alas, I await a real search function as well......

Yup. I noticed nothing new. The only thing I thought might change is the wifi since there was so much talk about it, but it was the same on a bandwidth meter as before. It seems like every new feature got debunked in a post right after someone 'discovered' it.

Reminds me of the time in high school, these guys packed a bowl of grass from the lawn and gave it to the most popular 'in' girl, she went around acting stoned for hours, and everyone knew that she really smoked lawn. Total placebo effect.

Now if we could get Apple to stop sending us the lawn... and get a real update.
 
I have noticed what appears to be significantly less battery life after 1.02. Has anyone else noticed this?
 
yes and no.

Battery life seems lower but I am also using the phone more lately, so most likely it is my useage not the update.
 
I love my iPhone. It is the most secure phone in the world. I am tired of people making fun of me and my iPhone and FUDding its alleged lack of security. I certainly haven't noticed anything insecure about it!

$20 says his 10 year old neighbor hacked his iPhone and wrote that from his unix box.
