With the upgrade, iPhone users will finally catch up with BlackBerry users, who have always been able to search their messages and sort them by a variety of criteria.

But that alone will doubtless make the iPhone more appealing to business people and other e-mail-intensive users. (See TIME's video "Family Tech: Palm Pre vs. iPhone...
...concede in negotiations with the U.S. They were adamant on Iran's nuclear enrichment program, which is permitted for peaceful purposes under the nuclear nonproliferation treaty.

Ever since U.S. President Barack Obama told the Israelis to freeze the settlements - and meant it, as opposed to previous U.S. Administrations that barked but never bit on that subject - the right has been worried that Netanyahu might cave. In fact, Netanyahu left himself familiar wiggle room on settlements too, saying the Israeli government would freeze settlements but allow room for natural growth (translation: ultra-religious families of eight should not feel the need to restrain their rate of reproduction...
