CES 2008: iPhone 1.1.3 Firmware with Andru Edwards
As always, the best stories from any convention always happen outside of the convention. Today, I met the entire Gear Live team (AWESOME nice folks, by the way). In particular, Andru Edwards was willing to let us see his iPhone. All of us had iPhones, but his is updated to Firmware Version 1.1.3.
He has a video showing the new update in action here:

The real question is: is it real?
He could have just had a hacked iPhone that looks like it has a version update. He did, however, show me his version number on his About screen in the settings. One note: this IS a Photoshop edited picture. I removed his serial number so that it wasn’t shown (which is why his finger is over it). The only thing I’m wondering is why he also covered the number in the parenthesis to the right of the version number. He did that in both photos I took, which makes me wonder whether the number in the parenthesis would have given away his source somehow.
Speaking of his source, he was not willing to tell anyone HOW he got a copy of version 1.1.3 for his iPhone. He probably wanted to protect the person who leaked it to him, but it makes me worry that Steve Jobs’ Goons will show up at his door and whisk him away for attitude readjustment.
Let’s all say a little prayer for Andru, okay, folks?
