I updated my iPhone to version 1.1.2 on Wednesday, and I've had no issues with it so far. Remember, I am not in the jailbreak camp at all, so I am using the platform more or less as Apple intended and only using web-based applications to extend its functionality.

The things I noticed right away after upgrading were mainly related to internationalization. Immediately after the upgrade, the iPhone asked me to dock it in four different languages. This is not surprising when you consider that the iPhone was just released in the UK and Germany.

From the looks of things, Apple intends to release the iPhone in Italy shortly. I understand that France has been held up with legal issues surrounding the requirement to offer mobile phones in an unlocked as well as carrier-locked state.

One of the podcasts I was listening to pointed out that the entire UI is internationalized for English, French, German, and Italian, so I decided to switch my iPhone to French and see what it was like. This can be done by navigating to Settings > General > International > Language and then choosing the language you want to use. After a brief delay, most messages that appear on the iPhone screen switch to the language of your choice.

Local date, time, and currency formats are localized separately, which is a nice touch.

I was hoping that a bug in the Google Maps application that is holding up the release of the iPhone version of RinkAtlas would be fixed in 1.1.2, but no such luck.
