iPhone in Canada: Looks like the folks at Cupertino are at it again with their firmware updates. iPhone firmware version 2.0.2 was released a couple hours ago and can now be downloaded via iTunes or straight from Apple’s servers.
It’s funny how the firmware update is released just as I happened to jailbreak my iPhone 3G on the weekend. Anyways this release fixes some “minor bugs”, which essentially means that there are no new features but might make your iPhone run a bit more smoothly. Plug in your iPhone 3G into iTunes and update away!
As for the jailbroken crowd, expect the WinPwn/Pwnage Tool to be updated fairly soon! I am not going to update just yet because I will lose my jailbreak status. I am happy with the phone at the moment but I would like to update as well. There has been debates about whether or not jailbroken phones can one-click update. I’m sure you can and once WinPwn is updated I just might do that to test it out!

Hurry and rush over to the App Store! Simplify Media is giving away their app free to the first 100,000 people to download it. Really, I mean it. This one is worth the download.
If you recall, we talked about how in the future, Apple may incorporate remote streaming into the iPhone since they'd obtained a patent for the feature. But you can get a taste of that sort of functionality now for free (if you're quick). Simplify Media lets you stream your music library right onto your iPhone. Plus, you can stream the libraries of up to 30 friends and view album art and lyrics while on the go.
Once you've downloaded the app, you just have to create an account with Simplify Media. Before you know it, you'll be streaming media like it were old hat. Now go do it quick before everyone else does!

iPhone Buzz: In case you ever wondered how iPhone 3G sales have been distributed across the globe, a recent study conducted by Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research shows just where the first million went.
As expected, the U.S., Japan, Germany and France topped the curve, taking in a cumulative 81% of the first million 3G iPhones sold. But this isn't really news.
What is interesting, however, is the dispersal of carriers. And though AT&T tops the list with 600,000 units sold, T-Mobile sold 89,000, Orange sold 77,000 and Softbank Mobile sold 70,000 in the overseas market.
Even though the iPhone is a U.S. dominated product at the moment, it still has a large resonance overseas. This data reflects only the first three days of sales, so it may be affected by the initial troubles people had registering.

Thanks Tom! [Via GearLive]
"We just got word that Apple has released a beta version of iPhone OS 2.1 to developers. Along with the 2.1 firmware, a new version of the iPhone SDK has been seeded as well, but the new SDK can’t be used for submitting applications to the App Store at the moment.
A few new things we are seeing in this version of the software is the addition of a bunch of Core Location features that track the direction you are heading, and the speed you are traveling. Looks like we might see a turn-by-turn GPS app after all on the iPhone 3G". - Gearlive.com

Now as exciting as that sounds, don't get too excited yet. This is not speech recognition in the normal sense of the term. No, you can't say "Mom" and the iPhone will automatically dial your mother's number. Not going to happen. And the reason why is AT&T is developing the feature to run as a web feature. So when you speak, the data is sent to a remote server, then comes back to perform an action on your handset.
The service, called Speech Mashups, is web-based, so iPhone first gen users will probably be out of luck if stuck with using the EDGE network.
And even though voice dialing won't work with this brand of speech recognition, it will work for a few other nifty things. There's a video online showing a man dictating a city and type of business in YellowPages and how Speech Mashups does all of the footwork for you. Pretty cool, but voice dialing would be even nicer!
