Apple today released the latest firmware update for the iPhone and iPod Touch, version 1.1.4. The released is slated as a bug fix and there aren’t any new features included. One might speculate, though, that included in this update is the necessary architecture for the upcoming SDK — which is supposed to come some time this week but is likely delayed well into March. Of course, Apple has released yet another update while I’m away on business, so I won’t be able to update until I get home Thursday night.

One of the biggest fixes for me personally is the SMS ordering. Since the 1.1.3 firmware update in January there has been an annoying issue regarding the order in which text messages are displayed in a conversation. Another fix that makes life easier involves Safari tabs. When browsing multiple sites your other tabs would go blank to white screens and when attempting to go back to that tab the page would require a re-load. Word is this has been fixed as well. Other fixes being reported are improved Bluetooth connectivity and a better functioning camera.

Now if we could just get that SDK…
