Apple released a major update for its iPhone operating system late Thursday, around. New iPhone 2.2 firmware weighs 247 megabytes and brings a bag of long anticipated features and improvements including Google Street View in Google Maps and remote pod cast downloading.
In the past, users had to download podcasts onto their computers and then sync them to their iPhone and iPod touch. With remote podcast downloading, users can now download audio and video podcasts right to their iPhone over WiFi or 3G.
Other features of the iPhone 2.2 update include public transit and walking directions in Google Maps, as well as displaying the address of a place when you drop a pin. You can share your location via email. The update also improves stability and performance of Safari browser, fixes a scheduled fetching of email bug, and most importantly, decreases rates of dropped calls.
