AppleInsider StaffThe update also reportedly resolves an issue where third-party applications would not launch in some instances. It also addresses a bug that could cause applications to crash when using the Japanese Kana keyboard.
iPhone OS 3.1.3 also includes a number of security updates related to CoreAudio, ImageIO, Recovery Mode and WebKit. Full details are available in the support document on Apple's Web site.
The update for the iPhone and iPod touch operating system is available for download through iTunes.
The last update, iPhone OS 3.1.2, arrived last October. It fixed an issue that would cause the iPhone to not wake from sleep, and resolved a glitch that could interrupt cellular network services until restart.
Last week, iPhone OS 3.2 was revealed as part of the new multi-touch iPad. For now, the operating system upgrade is for the iPad hardware only, which is scheduled to launch before the end of March.
iPhone OS 3.2 offers a number of enhancements over the current operating system, including a home screen that can be viewed either horizontally or vertically. It is not yet known what additional features in the iPad version of the iPhone OS could show up in the iPhone or iPod touch.

bricked my iphone while updating
and on macrumors they say it doesn't fix the playlist sync bug which i just came across as well
Can it be jailbroken again?
from a macrumors post3.1.3 closes the usb_control_msg exploit used by blackrain.
I'll just wait for people to report the issues and wait for a jailbreak. I am curious if they updated the modem firmware.

Ah, now we see the real reason for the update- no, not to fix any real bugs, but to fix the small number of jailbroken devices.
No idea why apple even cares if the iPod Touch is jailbroken... seems it should have been open completely from the beginning - close down the iPhone as it's on a carrier with other users, perhaps, but open up everything for the iPod touch. But, no, that'd be to hard for Apple, let's just make a cheap iPhone and only restrict apps that require the phone function. Much easier.
