iPhone 2.2
November 21st, 2008
I just downloaded and installed the iPhone’s new firmware, version 2.2.
What’s new? How is it?
It’s been announced all over the web since a couple weeks, and Apple just released a new firmware for the iPhone. Here’s what’s new:
- Google Maps: Street View
- Google Maps: Public transit and walking directions
- Google Maps: Share location via email
- Keyboard: Enable / Disable auto-correction
- Over-the-air podcast download
- a couple fixes
I tried all these features above, and it worked great. Street View is really cool, too bad it’s not available in Montreal yet.
I don’t know if there’s some kind of placebo effect, but I feel the interface runs smoother and faster (especially the GPS).
So far, it looks like a nice update.
