Apple's v1.1.2 iPhone Is Faster!
When Apple released the latest v1.1.2 firmware for the iPhone users reported their iPhones were a little faster. The reason? The 1.1.2 firmware utilizes the processor at a higher speed. iPhones come with a 624mz processing and Apple originaly capped them at 400mz for everyday use and to enhance battery life. With no fanfare, Apple has moved the processing threshold up to 412mz.
So? This move up is a hint of what's to come because new features will require faster processing. Apple is definitely upgrading the iPhone code base and making various functions more efficient.

iPhone Web Browsing Scaring Microsoft

Apple Scores Big In German Court
HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) - Deutsche Telekom scored a victory in a legal battle with rival Vodafone over sales conditions for the coveted Apple iPhone, which T-Mobile sells exclusively in Germany. A German court ruled on Tuesday Deutsche Telekom’s mobile unit can make customers who buy the music-playing and web-browsing device take out a T-Mobile contract as well and may continue to offer the device with a locked SIM card. A locked card prevents the device from being used on rival networks. Deutsche Telekom shares were up 1.2 percent at 15.27 euros by 9:04 a.m. EST, outperforming a 0.3 percent dip in the DJ Stoxx telecoms index.
It secured an exclusive deal with Apple to sell the iPhone in Germany, where Apple has no stores. Customers had to sign up to a 24-month T-Mobile contract costing a minimum of 1,176 euros ($1,734) in order to buy the 399 euro phone. Vodafone had won a temporary court injunction preventing T-Mobile from locking the iPhone’s SIM card and offering it only in combination with a T-Mobile contract.
T-Mobile said it planned to return to its original sales conditions for the iPhone as soon as possible.
