iPhone users... there's a new software update for your iPhone!

iPhone Software Update 1.1.3, a free software update available today via iTunes 7.5 or later, brings significant new features to iPhone. After installing the update, iPhone customers will be able to automatically find their location using the redesigned Maps application; text message multiple people in one message; create Web Clips for their favorite websites; customize their home screen; and watch movies rented from the new iTunes Movie Rentals right on their iPhones.

Gmail users take note:

Google is warning iPhone users that the latest software update for the Apple mobile (v.1.1.3) will change the way Gmail works on their phone.

In an advisory notice published to the Google Gmail Help Center, the company warns users who configured Gmail access on their iPhone by tapping the Gmail icon in Mail set-up will see the mail service automatically updated to enable IMAP mail services once the iPhone update is installed.

"This means that actions you take on your iPhone will now sync with actions in your Gmail web interface (i.e. messages you read on your iPhone will show up as 'Read' in the web interface). This also means that messages you delete on your iPhone will be moved to the Trash folder in the Gmail web interface, and thus deleted after 30 days," the company warns.

"Please exercise caution when deleting messages, as this behavior is markedly different from POP access." The company also offers users the information they need to continue using IMAP without deleting messages, and instructions to return the iPhone to using POP access.
