14 DAY TRIAL // Apple has just released their first update for the iPhone's software. They had recently promised to make this launch, although no exact date for the release has been mentioned at the time.
The v1.0.1 update is available through iTunes and does not meet all expectations that people have previously built regarding this device. Earlier today, Apple officials have mentioned that they would make an update release for the iPhone including a huge number of improvements, although only few of them can be found in this new release.
Among the differences which can be seen there also counts the fact that when setting up an IMAP mailbox and you fail to properly connect, the iPhone will now ask you if you want to continue and try again with SSL off. Moreover, in the actual IMAP mailbox, much more folders are available for view like Inbox, Deleted Items, Sent Items, Drafts, Sent, Trash, Junk E-mail, Outbox, Public Folders, and RSS Feeds.
Another important feature is the fact that when setting a passcode to lock the device, the iPhone now offers a much wider choice of lock times. Moreover, if you decline connecting to a WiFi network, a popup box will let you know that you can turn WiFi off if needed.
Most of the updates refer to the Safari browser, although many people have found a much larger list of problems to consider the iPhone's performances. Security issues in the browser have been the most important ones and it looks like Apple has started with the main problems and worked its way down to the less important ones.
Apple is probably still working on the remaining issues that the iPhone presents. This means that when the smartphone will be released on new markets, it will have fewer bugs, although it proved to be strong and reliable until now too.
