Apple has posted downloads for iPhone 1.1.2 Update and iPod touch 1.1.2 Update. These files are not yet active via iTunes update. You may wish to wait for Apple to make the Updates releases available via iTunes. For those who simply cannot wait, here are direct download links:
• iPhone 1.1.2 Update
• iPod touch 1.1.2 Update
Some notes:
• TIFF Exploit patched so JailBreakMe no longer works (More at Engadget)
• “Add Event” function added to to the iPod touch calendar application (More at MacNN)
• Reported performance increases (iPhone gets even snappier!)
• iToner ringtone maker still works (Thanks to MacDailyNews reader “Jeff” for the heads up.)
• Battery icon shows charging status, level for devices in iTunes
• International languages, keyboard enabled
• TUAW reports that iPod touch 1.1.2 Update has already been jailbroken
No real user enhancements other than language support, huh. I’m sure I’ll upgrade though

My calls just got snippier.
But on the plus side, music is now my dogcowfriend.
I’m leaving work soon to go to my local Carphone Warehouse to try to get an iPhone but before I go, I just want to say this to my fellow purchasers:
Good morning. In less than an hour, Macheads from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest smartphone battle in the history of mankind. “Mankind.” That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can’t be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it’s fate that today is the Ninth of November, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom… Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution… but from inferior cellphone companies. We are fighting for our right to talktime. To email. And should we win the day, the Ninth of November will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: “We will not go quietly into the night!” We will not vanish without a fight! We’re going to live on! We’re going to survive! Today we celebrate our iNdependence Day!
snappy snappy snappy!
My iPhone just turned into a Zune!
Good one, Dirty Pierre!
Now all we need to save the world is a Morse Code widget?
“snappy snappy snappy!
My iPhone just turned into a Zune!”
Isn’t snappy a good descriptor? Whatever do you mean by that?
My iTunes is broke.
No-wait. That’s my bank account.
My iTunes still doesn’t list the update.
wait! how the hell am i supposed to get this to the iphone? i dont get it…atleast post the process of getting the files to the iphone MDN
has anyone verified the source of this. May be legit, but I have no way of knowing.
to install it click the restore button in iTunes while holding down cmd-crtl (then navigate to the dl’s file (unzipped)
allright for folks that do not know how to get the zip file to the iphone, here it is:
download the link,
go to itunes, and while holding the option/alt key, hit the “check for updates” in ur phone tab. a window will pop up and just select the zip file and hit ok. that should automatically take care of it. thanx MDN for makin it so easy **roll eyes**
“Add Event” function added to to the iPod touch calendar application
This is huge for anyone who uses iCal or OutLook.
I’d sure like to see them bring back “Notes” to the iPod Touch.
MW “include”… nuff said.

@ Dirty Pierre le Punk.
V is for Victory.
…All it takes to bring down makers of terrible cell phones is a drunk crop duster with a vengeance?
Sweet!
…Where’d I put that bottle of Wild Turkey…
Checking for update, not available here on the West Coast just yet
No update here in the midwest – did the check for updates – nuttin
Heres how to do it manually

do a manual update via iTunes’ firmware updater. Just ctrl or option click on the restore button then direct it towards the zip file and iTunes will do the rest.
@ Dirty Pierre le Punk: Well said. That’s part of what I and my (just made) friends felt here in the states as we stood in line back on iPhone Frinday in late June. We also felt comfortably warm, but you guys can keep your upper lips just really stiff and not be bothered by miserable weather, right?! Hope you have fun. In any case, I’m sure you won’t regret your purchase!
Holy shit, Apple got the idea of the battery indicator in iTunes from me!
Remember months ago, right here on MDN, I made the suggestion in comments and you guys pointed me to a place on the Apple website where you can submit ideas to them? Well I did it and low and behold, you can see when your battery is charged right there in iTunes!
Maybe Steve will contact me for more of R2’s bright ideas.
The battery indicator is also available when connecting an iPod Classic too.
Hey, R2, use some of that pull to get movie rentals.
Also, does anyone know if Al made it to that whale in time?….
Wow, turned on my iPhone’s Camera (helps to buy it dinner first)
Held it up to the screen with this article so it could get a real good look-see
Yep, instant snappier-ness

When I point to the zip file:
it opens the file.. menaing I have to choose one of the files in the zip.
If I choose any file- it errors out, and deletes the file.
It is not as simple as pointing to the zip file for me- anyone else running into this?
“Also, does anyone know if Al made it to that whale in time?….”
Not sure, but I do know that Tipper makes him blubber.
Ok- maybe its leopard- but if the file is not zipped- it will cause the behavior above.
To rectify the issue- just rezip it and then point to it.
sheesh.
