I'm seriously hearing impaired and use a hearing listening device, the iphone would be a great alternative, it has a build in microphone and amplifier. How about an Ap that would allow one to use the internal iphone microphone to pick up sounds around the device and feed that sound to the earphones. That way one could use the iphone for hearing and phone, and fm tuner, etc. How about it? Is there an Ap that will do this?

I was, however, able to downgrade to 1.0.2 with no problems. I installed all my 3rd party apps and ringtones and am as happy as a lark. The fix: Make sure you have a copy of the 1.0.2 firmware iPhone1,1_1.0.2_1C28_Restore.ipsw stored in: ~/library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates The key is to remove or move all other items from this folder, leaving only the 1.0.2 update. Otherwise, it will re-install the 1.1.1 update. 1. Reboot iPhone holding the top button (power) and the home buttons. 2. Release the top button 10 seconds after that, right after the screen goes dark. But keep the home (bottom) pressed for a while. 3. The iPhone screen will appear to be off. Now start iTunes manually. 4. iTunes will tell you it has found an iPhone in "restore mode." 5. Press option key and then click the restore button. 6. Select the 1.0.2 firmware .ipsw file from here: ~/library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates I updated to version 1.1.1 and all my 3rd party apps and ringtones went “poof.” I was, however, able to downgrade to 1.0.2 with no problems.

He said don't update, well I didn't listen to him, I updated. Worked perfectly, just one little bug with the maps program. The 3rd party says will be fixed soon.

I have Installer.app and tons of 3rd party apps on my iPhone. I've spoken with a developer of Installer.app from NullRiver and he suggests users hold tight until they can update their software and release a new version that will work with 1.1.1.
