TUAW's 1.1.3 iPhone Update Liveblog

From: “1.1.3 iPhone Update Liveblog“:

It’s time to kiss my beautiful jailbreaked iPhone goodbye and to surrender to the inevitability of the 1.1.3 update. Goodbye delightful shell access. Goodbye beautiful 3rd party applications. I’m upgrading for the sake of my readers–and hopefully downgrading soon after! Read on for the liveblog…

I salute you, Erica, for taking a bullet for the team once more. :)

iTunes Canada Gets the TV Treatment

Patrick Tanguay led me to Apple’s announcement of the new TV programming offering through iTunes Canada.

I have to admit that I share his lack of enthusiasm for their offer… There’s just no way I’m going to spend money on 4:3 ratio video.

All my screens are 16:9 or 16:10: mac laptop, external monitors, iPhone, and so on. And whatever I’ll buy in the foreseeable future will obviously not going to be any other way.

They’re obviously targeting the last two remaining iPod models with such screen proportions, the Classic and Nano, but it’s just not for me. Sorry.

Nice try though. A bit late maybe but nice.

Fresh Screenshots of WPhone on iPhone

From iPhone Screenshot Goodness at WPhone Admin Plugin:

Thanks to Matt, I can now take iPhone screenshots to my heart’s content. So I’ve updated the set showcased on this site and made a zip archive of 18 screenshots available on the same page.

The only sad thing about this is the “No Service” at the top-left corner of each screenshot… *sigh*
Soon, soon enough.

It's Here!

My shiny new iPhone

Turns out working from home on Friday was the worst idea I had all week… My iPhone arrived at the office, and I could have had it to play with all weekend. Unfortunately, no one in my team clued in to what the mystery package was, so they didn’t tell me. To be fair, I really wasn’t expecting it to arrive during US Thanks Giving. But I guess the USPS to Canada Post handover happened before the long weekend.

And now, I’ll have to be strong (!), and ignore it all day while I get things done before I can play with it all night. I don’t see much sleep in my future. ;-)

Thanks Matt! Thanks WPhone!
