Today, Apple released the iPhone 2.2 Software Update. You can download and install the new update by plugging your iPhone into your computer via your USB cable, opening iTunes, and clicking “Check for Updates.”

Here is the official list of bug fixes and updates from Apple: 

  • Enhancements to Maps
    • Google Street View
    • Public transit and walking directions
    • Display address of dropped pins
    • Share location via email
  • Decrease in call setup failures and dropped calls
  • Enhancements to Mail
    • Resolved isolated issues with scheduled fetching of email
    • Improved formatting of wide HTML email
  • Podcasts are now available for download in iTunes application (over Wi-Fi and cellular network)
  • Improved stability and performance of Safari
  • Improved sound quality of Visual Voicemail messages
  • Pressing Home button from any Home screen displays the first Home screen
  • Preference to turn on/off auto-correction in Keyboard Settings

 

Improved stability and performance of Safari? I hope so. No more crashes, hopefully! So is this update going to prove to be an early Christmas present for iPhone owners? I’ll let you know. Once I’ve played around with the new features enough, I’ll make a post about how they compare with my iPhone Christmas Wishlist

Techalooga!
