has the Iphone 3G been fixed?

The brand-new radio chip in the Apple iPhone 3G has been causing the company a bit of indigestion in recent weeks as customers complain about dropped phone calls and intermittent connections to the highly touted 3G network.

Several hours ago, Apple shipped its second software update for the new iPhone 3G. Software version 2.02 “fixes bugs,” according to the documentation accompanying the software patch. That has touched off a wave of speculation that this update will fix the new handset’s communications problems.

Web firm to offer TV streaming to iPhone

Two leading UK broadcasters are exploring a service that would allow live streaming of their programmes to Apple's iPhone.

London-based web TV technology specialist Best Before has developed server-based technology called Millicent that allows a broadcaster or other content producer to provide an edited video feed to be watched on the iPhone without needing to hack into the handset.
