iPhone users hoping for some funky-fresh functionality love from Apple will be disappointed to hear that the first software update for the handset (version 1.0.1) mainly fixes the recently discovered security hole in its Safari web browser.
However, according to notes gathered by Gizmodo, hackers are reporting that their recent efforts to crack the iPhone have been affected. Apparently any changes made with the iFuntastic app, which allows you to add custom ringtones and suchlike, are nixed by the software update — with some modded handsets required a complete reinstall (wiping everything on the phone!) before the 1.0.1 update would run.
Others (some on the MacRumors forum) are saying that email held on Microsoft Exchange servers is now better handled by iPhone, that the phone feels more stable after the update, and that a bug in the YouTube widget has been fixed.
The 1.0.1 update is available now through Apple’s iTunes — if you’ve used it, let us know how you got on.
