3G iPhone firmware supports FM radio and FOTA

iPhone Atlas goes on to report, "With FM radio support, 3G iPhones may be able to make use of devices like Apple’s own “iPod Radio Remote,” which includes an FM tuner and allows users to listen to FM radio stations. Current iPhone and iPod touch models are incompatible with the radio remote.

Firmware over the air support means that Apple will theoretically be able to deliver software and firmware updates over the iPhone’s cellular network connection, potentially allowing re-locking of unlocked devices and feature enhancements that do not require connection to a host computer."

So what does this potentially mean for all you people with unlocked iPhone if Apple can re-lock your phones? You just may have to stick with the current 1.1.4 firmware unless hackers can figure out away around this one.

The cat & mouse game continues.

Terra Noctis: Free Dreaming Promises Ple...
When I first played Terra Noctis, I came away with an incredibly positive opinion. Sure it had its share of problems. In fact, it had a ton of small ones. However it was still a cool platformer that was well worth the somewhat hefty (comparably) price of $2.99 at the time. The cost has dropped down to $0.99 since then, but even that might be “too... | Read more »
