As iPhone hackers are currently working hard to break into the now in-famous iPhone firmware 1.1.1 the rumor-mongers have taken centre stage. The latest from them is that Apple is looking to do some damage control caused by firmware 1.1.1 update and more importantly do not want to repeat what they did with Newton by working on an iPhone SDK (sounds interesting), they are also reporting that iPhone should be launched in Canada as early as mid-October and the latest speculation is that iPhone owners could get an option to sync for Notes to and from the iPhone with the Leopard launch.

Hidden Features in iPhone Firmware 1.1.1
If you turn blind eye to the issues that iPhone owners who have unlocked their iPhone and those who had installed the cool third-party hacks have faced (just for a moment as I understand the disappointment and frustration), it would be fair to say that Apple did quite a good in providing us information on the latest iPhone firmware update if you compare it with the previous two firmware updates since the launch, not only did they provide us details on the new features and shortcuts that were introduced; they also followed it with a video showcasing the new features which incidentally featured the same guy as the original iPhone video tour.
