Among the feature additions expected in the release is support for the company's recently announce Wi-Fi iTunes Music Store, which lets iPhone and iPod touch users shop a mobile version of the iTunes Store over a Wi-Fi connection.
Attempting to access the Wi-Fi store from an iPhone with the current version of the handset's firmware (1.0.2) yields an dialog box instructing users to upgrade their phone's firmware.
"You need to update your device's software in order to access the iTunes Store," the dialog says. "Simply sync your device to your computer and click "Check for Update" and then click this iTunes Store link again from your device when syncing is complete."
Separately, Apple on its iPhone website has posted product imagery showing an iPhone running firmware version 1.1.1. It's unclear whether the version numbering shown is indicative of the forthcoming update or simply an arbitrary mockup.
One person who claims to be familiar with the upcoming iPhone update has said the software could arrive as early as Monday.

All I can say is:

Enterprise level WiFi authentication for me, please.

Anyone here have a problem joining Wi-Fi hotspots on their iPhone when a specific hotspot requires users to agree to a set of terms via a Safari web page before gaining access? Only to have Safari fail to display the agreement page?
Best,

So far I haven't seen that problem. Do you see it all the time or only at a specific hotspot? I've logged onto Wholefoods WiF, the City of New York Library, and City Parks Department free WiFi this way and haven't had a problem.
Daring Fireball suggests that the Home button may be about to become customizable. (Double-click function. Like the music controls on the Touch.) Sounds good to me.
