    • Led Zeppelin
    • This album bears every flavor of genius from the five records that came before. It is, I believe, the band's finest. With Physical Graffiti, Zep came raging back to their musical home territory -- har

    • Jason Robert Brown
    • The soundtrack to this moving off-broadway musical is heart moving. The lyrics follow a couple in a relationship for five years, one point of view going forward in time, and the other tracing time fr

    • 10 out of 10
    • The Redwalls
    • Wow! Perhaps my 5-star rating is simply because the Redwalls are not only new and fresh (none of them older than 22!), or perhaps its because -- despite their ages -- they are able to totally capture
  • Modern Lovers

    • This timeless masterpiece is little known, but it has inspired almost as many bands as The Modern Lovers' own inspiration -- and only slightly better known -- The Velvet Underground & Nico.

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.
