[Mobilepartners] Apple iPhone Firmware update - Version 1.1.3

[Barbara Johnson]

So far it looks great!

I really like the ability to customize my Home page and dock.  I've  
already added icons for my frequently used web pages such as Google.

The video overview on the Apple site also mentioned imap support  
should now be available for Gmail users?  Haven't checked that out yet.

Just for fun...
iTunes is now offering movie rentals.  I might use this if I could  
find any content with closed captions.  While iTunes and Quicktime now  
support captioning, I've yet to see any content providers stepping  
up.  If anyone finds captioned content in their travels please do let  
me know.

Thanks.
Barbara
