iTunes 7.5, QuickTime 7.3 bring wee iPhone improvements

iPhone updates come in three sizes: wee, not so wee, and—well, you get the idea. While iTunes 7.5 (also for Windows) and QuickTime 7.3 are probably worth upgrading to simply for the bug fixes, it’s worth nothing that they do include some iPhone-specific functionality. Let’s go to iTunes first:

As for QuickTime 7.3 (which comes in versions for Panther, Tiger, Leopard, and Windows), we find an iPhone addition that will primarily interest developers:

Updated support for creating iPhone-compatible web content

Huzzah. Not sure precisely where they’re going with that, but seems like they’re throwing a bone to the iPhone web app developers. I know—my deductive skills are unrivaled.

You can grab the updates at the links above or just wait for Software Update to prompt you.
