  • Gimme Fiction

    • 10 out of 10
    • Spoon
    • Gimme Fiction by Spoon is a terrific album by an Austin band that I was lucky enough to catch on an Austin radio station during a Christmas visit.

  • Supernature

    • 10 out of 10
    • Goldfrapp
    • On their latest CD, Supernature, Goldfrapp has put together a successful mix of 1980-era New Romanticism, German cabaret, and T. Rex glam that leaves you riveted even through the album's lulls. It's a great amalgam that sounds current without sounding at all dated.

  • Aretha Sings the Blues

    • 6 out of 10
    • Aretha Franklin
    • While she didn't always have the best taste in song selection, Aretha Franklin is a must-study for anyone with interest in the human voice. She has the kind of powerful, recklessly passionate deliv

  • Guero

    • 10 out of 10
    • Beck
    • Beck is the modern master of the groove, and Guero is merely the latest example of this. From the opening power chords of "E-Pro," to the Pac-Man cuteness of "Girl," to the dirge-like lullab

  • Go Away White

    • 10 out of 10
    • Bauhaus
    • Go Away White is an album I've been waiting more than 20 years to hear, and the good news is that it was worth the wait.  The latest -- and last, no...for real this time -- album from

French O2 Customer Reports iPhone Update News

A French O2 customer was contacted by customer service and gleaned some information about the next iPhone update, version 2, not 1.1.4. The posting at Le MacBidouille was translated at HardMac.

The customer note translated as follows:

Update 2 (this would be the correct name, not 1.1.4), will bring new features:

  • Support for Flash, files with extension .Docx
  • Adding a mini file manager
  • Adding a "clipboard" to manage copied and pasted text, and send files to the clipboard via email or bluetooth
  • iClips Management (is this the name of apps distributed via iTunes?)
  • A more complete bluetooth manager
  • iChat accessible only via wifi

... But it would not bring:

  • Management of MMS
  • Video capture
  • Editing of office files

It is almost impossible to know if this is reliable information from an employee of Orange who carried out this survey ... But one thing is certain, the survey was commissioned by Apple ... And the updating of firmwire will be out in a few days ..."

Speculation lately has been that the next version of the iPhone OS, 1.1.4 or 2.0, would be required to support native apps built with the imminent iPhone SDK.
