Found Footage: iPhone firmware 1.2 hacked
Filed under: iPod Family, Found Footage, iPhone

The iPhone hacking community is at it again, and they're not going to take the SDK for an answer. The dev team has recently found out how to install and run iPhone firmware 1.2. This is supposedly the SDK-only developer version, which runs the iPhone (Aspen) simulator. Firmware 1.2 may end up re-released as version 2.0 in June, assuming there are no showstopping problems. There is no word yet on how they got access to the firmware, but it is still a cool video, and looks like the real deal. In this video, you can see the following 2.0 features:
- New calculator with squared buttons
- iTunes Wi-Fi Store with a missing button (and missing text under the "search" icon)
- Select multiple messages to be deleted/moved in Mail
- New calendar setting (with Time Zone support)
- Microsoft Exchange in the new Mail accounts
- Parental controls
- Cisco VPN settings
However, not shown was the AppStore (which was clearly displayed on the home screen) or the search feature in the contacts list. This video is just a taste of what firmware 2.0 should bring -- it also makes me look forward to getting it in June.

Thanks Adam!

Talkcast reminder, 10 pm ET tonight: Open Phones with Dave and Christina
Filed under: TUAW Business, Podcasts
We are live tonight (Sunday 3/16) for this week's talkcast, 10 pm ET, with an open agenda and a willing spirit -- now all we need is you. Join me, Dave Caolo and Christina Warren (who's just back from SxSW with an update on Apple and the power geek crowd) as we take your calls and answer your questions.

You can join the conversation on TalkShoe by using the shiny new browser-only client; you can also use the classic TalkShoe Pro Java client that we all know and love. For the web UI, just click the "TalkShoe Web" button on our profile page at 10 pm Sunday. You can also listen in on the Talkshoe page or call in on regular phone or VOIP lines: dial (724) 444-7444 and enter our talkcast ID, 45077.

For those of you eagerly waiting for last week's iPhone SDK show to hit the feeds... we appreciate your patience. Unfortunately we are trying to sort out the letter of the law on Apple's confidentiality clause for iPhone developers, and until we have some clarity on what our panelists can say publicly we have to hold onto the tape. I hope to have guidance shortly and get the show sanitized for release this week.

If you're still using Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac, then it is time to fire up the updater because there is a critical update awaiting you and your copy of Office. Here's what the AutoUpdate software says:

This update fixes a vulnerability that an attacker can use to overwrite the contents of your computer's memory with malicious code. For more information about this update, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article (KB949357).

If you use update Automatically, then you may already have the update; otherwise, you can open an Office application and choose "Downloads and updates" from the Help menu. For full information about this update, you can look at the Microsoft KB article.

Patent filing shows DVR for Apple TV
Filed under: Apple TV
Gallery: Apple TV DVR patent filing

Earlier this week, AppleInsider reported on an Apple TV patent filed in 2006 and just published; it shows DVR features, and the patent also includes a feature where the iPod could be docked with the Apple TV to sync content for on-the-go viewing.

"For example, program data for upcoming programs, e.g., for the next month, can be downloaded and stored on the remote control device," Apple said in the patent. "Thereafter, a user of the remote control device can search programs that are to be broadcast and determine which programs to record. The recording settings can be programmed onto the remote control device, and then be provided to the video device when a data communication is established between the remote control device and the video device."

If Apple manages to implement DVR functionality for the Apple TV, it could definitely bring a game-changing device to the TV industry. Who knows, it could become a direct competitor to the TiVo. Be sure to look through our gallery of patent filing pictures.
