Filed under: How-tosLast year, we showed you how to check for the 3.0 firmware release via the terminal command line. As we move into the new year, TUAW reader Mike K writes in, saying "Being compulsive, is the terminal command to check for 3.0 the same as for 4.0? I'd love to know"
Hey Mike, yes the terminal command is more or less the same as last year, but we have a slight improvement for you, so your system will speak to you when the new firmware goes live.
#! /bin/csh
curl -s -L http://phobos.apple.com/version | grep -i Restore | grep -i iPhone | grep -i 4.0
if ($? == 1) then
echo "Nothing yet"
else
say "FOUR POINT OH FIRMWARE IS NOW AVAILABLE"
