In a move that could have serious implications on iPhone users around the world, Apple on Thursday released iPhone software update version 1.1.1, which adds access to the Wi-Fi iTunes Music Store and several other features.
Along with the iTunes store, the 152MB update also increases speakerphone and receiver volume; adds a Home Button double-click shortcut feature; adds a space bar double-tap shortcut that lets the iPhone intelligently insert a period or space; and allows Mail attachments to be viewable in portrait and landscape, among many other updates.
According to reports, firmware version 1.1.1 restores the unlocked iPhone back to its pre-activation state and so far, no one has been able to reactivate the device with the original AT&T SIM card. Ostensibly, these updated iPhones are only capable of making emergency calls.
