Apple has posted the download links to the iPhone 1.1.2 firmware, for direct downloading:

iPhone1,1_1.1.2_3B48b_Restore.ipsw

iTunes has yet to reflect the new firmware, but some adventurous souls have downloaded the link manually to upgrade their iPhone.

- Modem firmware: 04.02.13_G
- TIFF Exploit patched (per Engadget) so JailBreakMe no longer works
- Devices in iTunes, battery icon shows up to indicate it charges.
- Slide for emergency call changes languages
- International keyboard available
- No horizontal text messaging (per villanova329)
- iToner works.
- Screenshots of 1.1.2 from MacNN
- Custom Ringtones section

You might think that those Mac users get all the good luck with the iPod and being able to burn or copy DVD’s to the iPod to watch. However, us Windows users (mac’rs quit laughing!) can now do the same thing!

There are a few steps to accomplish ripping and burning a DVD to an iPod for a Windows user, so I am not going to go into detail about each program you need, but point you in the right direction.

Is iTunes coming ready for video downloads and rentals? It seems that iTunes 7.5 has movie rental and video on demand ready to go in it.

Check out these files:

• rental-content
• rental-bag
• rbsync
• source-rental-info
• dest-rental-info
• getvodaccountselectionlist
• GET VOD ACCOUNT SELECTION LIST
• supportsRentals

While this might not mean anything, it could be a sign of something to come in the future for the iPhone video on demand rental. This could also affect the iPod’s since they also use iTunes.

We’ll have to see what happens!

The iPod Touch is the premium iPod device. If you are looking for video, WiFi, music and more, then this is what you need. You could consider the iPod Touch to a little brother of the iPhone without the commitment of a contract for service.

With the iPod Touch, you are giving up some of the prized features of the iPhone, such as POP/IMAP e-mail, built-in speakers, microphone, camera, Bluetooth, and a handful of widget applications such as stock monitoring and weather forecasting.

Apple rates the iPod Touch’s battery life at 22 hours for music playback and 5 hours for video. You can get the iPod Touch with either a 16GB or 8GB sized hard drive.
