10.4.10 on the way
Reports from AppleInsider and other sources indicate that the next Tiger update, ten-four-ten (sounds like a CB radio code) will be seeding to developers as early as next week. As Erica noted back in March, there's been some question of the exact naming for this update (10.4.9a? 10.4.9 SP1?) and it seems like 10.4.10 is the plan.With Leopard's ship date in the autumn, some final patches to the current big cat are certainly in order. At my office we're still waiting for a fix on longstanding issues with WPA2 authentication/Proxim wireless access points on the MacBooks/MBPs... perhaps this update will be the one that clears those nagging problems.

"10.4.9" is not a number. It's a name.
"10" is a number.
"4" is a number.
"9" is a number.
"10.4.9" is a name of a software version, composed of several independent pieces which might themselves be numbers.
The next natural revision to "10.4.9" is "10.4.10." It's very, very simple.
Hear, hear, Gareth !

There isn't anything in the iPhone that says it has A2DP, so I wonder if it's a good idea to claim it does. I think it better but Apple's information is sparse at best, and I think it's best not to assume until the real thing is in the hands of real customers and not a prototype in the hands of a PR person or a journalist.
One thing that I've gotten used to, but still want fixed, is the volume "loudening" seen on some Macs after the 10.4.9 update (I'm using an iMac CD). I've learned to live with it, but i'd still like to be able to set my volume to under 50% (1 bar now is equivalent to 7 bars before)... I know it's an OS issue, since earlier OS X versions that I've used even after the update on that same computer had the volume control functioning regularly.

NOT A DOWNGRADE!
Can't they count?
10.4.9.1 is the next obvious version.

Ha, foolishly I thought it was just me...I couldn't connect to the school network (which switched from wpa to wpa2) under the student account; authentication would never complete. Of course the school help desk was completely Mac ignorant...oddly enough I was finally able to find a solution by joining the employee network (which I'm fairly sure is not allowed by University standards)...you gotta do what you gotta do. A fix would be lovely.
