    • Asylum Street Spankers
    • The Asylum Street Spankers are...well...The Spankers. Hailing from Austin, where I saw them live dozens of times, the band played entirely acousti

  • Rift

    • Phish
    • This quasi-concept album (the only of its kind) from these Vermonters finally showcased their ability to convey a message with a studio album, whereas previously they only succeeded in doing so live.
  • Is This It

    • 10 out of 10
    • The Strokes
    • The Strokes set the music world on fire with this 2001 album, with headlines declaring that the New York band was here to save Rock and Roll. While the band hasn't made as much of a splash since t

  • Modern Lovers

    • 10 out of 10
    • 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.

  • 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.

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.
