Be Smart

Aside from announcing some Penryn-shaped upgrades to the MacBook and MacBook Pro ranges, Apple has also released firmware version 1.1.4 for the iPhone. However if you were hoping for some serious feature changes, think again; Apple are claiming the update is merely bug-fixes, and early feedback seems to indicate that they're not lying. Normally our advice would be to hold off upgrading your iPhone firmware if you're using an unlocked or Jailbroken handset, but preliminary results around the web suggest the software change doesn't junk your third-party apps or SIM swapping.

Hit up the cut for some bad SDK news

UPDATE: I'm downloading the firmware 1.1.4 and should have an update soon.



(Ok, so it's really just "an update" - so for sanity check there's no support for Flash.) 

Meanwhile, UK newspaper The Guardian is reporting that the iPhone SDK - which Steve Jobs promised would be in developers' hands by the end of February - will be delayed thanks to some last minute tinkering. With no official word from Apple and time fast running out to meet the month-end deadline, it looks likely that some sort of set back is happening.
