We are only just getting to know Apple iPhone firmware 1.1.3 and already there is talks of version 1.1.4 coming out. The iPhone software developer kit (SDK) is said to be coming available very soon, and many are speculating that firmware version 1.1.4 will accompany it. Here is what iPhone News has learned so far:
The iPhone application devleoper, Tiny Code, who makes numerous applicatiosn available with the Installer.app said this in regards to their current iPhone software development and their future with Apple Inc:
Tiny Code no longer produces fixes or applications for firmware 1.1.3.

DLO (Digital Lifestyle Outfitters) just launched some awesome new speakers for the iPhone. The speakers themselves are very tiny but deliver powerful sound. When closed, the dock + speaker combo seems to resemble an egg. The dock that the iPhone rests on is shielded, this will prevent GSM “buzz” sound that you often hear when a cell phone is placed near regular speakers.
It appears that the audio connection is via 3.5mm headphone jack cable as opposed to through the port on the bottom of the iPhone. The advantage of this is that the speakers can be used with any device that has a 3.5mm headphone jack (other iPods and MP3 players). iPhoneNews has placed an order and hopes to have a pair soon so we can provide a more comprehensive review of these new iPhone speakers.
