Engadget has the goods.

Those of you without iPhones may not know this, but iPhones, like computers, get software updates which add features. So far, Apple has released one major and two minor updates to the firmware of the device. The previous one, version 1.1.1 caused a massive furor because people who were modding their devices to work on different carriers got locked out.¹ All the noise about how unfairly Apple was behaving tended to obscure the fact that the update also added features like the iTunes Wi-Fi music store and the ability to double-click the button at the bottom of the screen to bring up shortcut menus.²

All in all, the iPhone is a glorious device that just doesn’t seem to get old. And whenever I start to take it for granted, Apple seeds some new features that get my nerd heart a-pumping again. I can’t encourage my friends enough to buy one at the earliest opportunity. I’ve never had a phone that’s been as useful as this.
