Apple has just released a new iPhone OS update, v3.1.2.  The new version addresses several issues:

- Resolves sporadic issue that may cause iPhone to not wake from sleep
- Resolves intermittent issue that may interrupt cellular network services until restart
- Fixes bug that could cause occasional crash during video streaming

The 300MB+ update is now available for download via iTunes.

AT&T will begin offering MMS service (text messaging with photos, video, etc.) to iPhone 3G and 3GS customers beginning September 25.  A software update will be required to use the service.

“We know many of our iPhone customers are eager for an update on our rollout schedule for Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS). We’ve been working for the past several months to prepare our systems and network to ensure the best possible experience with MMS when it launches – and that launch date is: September 25 for iPhone 3G and 3GS customers.”

If you’ve ever tried syncing your iPhone with a different computer, you already know Apple only permits the iPhone to sync with one computer at a time; to sync with a different computer, you have to wipe your iPhone and begin again.  This is mostly an aggravation during normal use, but what if you’re moving to a new PC or Mac, or need to format (erase) your hard drive and re-install the OS?  How do you keep from having to erase your iPhone and create a new iTunes partnership?

The answer is to move your iTunes configuration files from your old computer to your new computer.  This works on both Windows PCs and Macs, and with just a few simple steps, you can backup your iTunes configuration files (and even your entire iTunes music and video library), and then restore the files on a new computer for uninterrupted syncing.

In our latest tutorial series, we’ll show you how to backup and restore your iTunes library so that your iPhone will place nice with the new system or OS installation.

TomTom’s iPhone GPS navigation software was prominently featured at the  Apple WWDC event earlier this summer, and over the weekend the app was made available via the iTunes Store for the first time [iTunes Link].

TomTom U.S. & Canada is a $99 application which offers turn-by-turn directions for iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS users running OS 3.0.  Features include TomTom’s iQ Routes (which calculates most efficient routes), Contacts integration (for fast entry of friend, family and business destinations), built-in calling features to quickly phone restaurants, businesses, etc., portrait and landscape viewing, route summaries, Point of Interest (POI) listings, and more.

An optional TomTom iPhone Car Kit will also soon be available, which promises enhanced GPS performance along with hands-free calling and iPhone charging. 

The TomTom U.S. & Canada app takes up about 1.2GB of space on your iPhone, so be sure you have at least this much free space before purchasing. 

A Western Europe version of this software is also available [iTunes Link].
