Nate True has analyzed the files changed by the iPhone 1.0.2 firmware update, and it doesn’t look like there is really any room for new features given that it’s just over 3MB. A few files got a little bigger, the kernel actually got smaller, and they seemed to do a little cleanup. Not too surprising then that few improvements or bug fixes have been observed, and it seems likely that at least a few of those were wishful thinking.

Welcome to iPhone Unlocked. We see you found us via www.google.ch searching for analyze firmware files. Dedicated hackers have recently figured out how to unlock the iPhone to work on any GSM carrier (T-mobile in the US, and most every European carrier). We are not selling unlocked iPhones at this time. Please be careful if you decide to buy an unlocked iPhone, since the market is likely to draw a lot of shady characters.

One new feature I’ve noticed is that you can now zoom in on HTML mail with a double tap. Before it never seemed to recognize column widths in mail- it always seemed to zoom to the total message width. Maybe this isn’t new, but it plagued me until this update.
You make it sound like the iPhone is tapped out on features. Like there is no more space to add stuff? Anyway, your little paragraph is hardly worth reading…
He means, there is hardly any space in the UPDATE for momentous changes… as it is merely 3.6 Mb
And your paragraph was hardly worth typing
Thank you, malaka.
Bill, it’s interesting that you mention that. Something seemed a little less annoying about reading some HTML mail messages sometime between 1.0.0 and 1.0.2, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it.
