Rumours are spreading all over the internet that Apple will release the next iPhone 2.2 firmware upgrade. There is a new look for Safari with the Google search bar now having its own space on the title bar. POINTLESS!!!

They should’ve spent more time fixing bugs with Safari. (Example: Safari always crashing while listening to your iPod). You can toggle On / Off to disable the auto-correction, which is actually helpful if you use non-English slang. Google Street View = POINTLESS.

Where the heck is “COPY & PASTE”?? STEREO BLUETOOTH?? These updates are crap!!

Ocarina is described as the first true musical instrument for the iPhone. 

Google Street View is the next best thing!! It is sooooo cool…can’t wait till its available!!

Couple of new features buried within the iPhone 2.2 beta (NOT OFFICIAL):

- Support for Japanese emoji icons — a popular feature for Japanese phones. The lack of emoji support has been blamed as part of the reason for slow iPhone adoption in Japan.

- Support for Google Street View for the Google Maps application. Street View allows users to view panoramic street level photographs in select cities within the Google Maps application. I hope it does not slow down the iPhone’s performance.

Finally, Apple has also addressed one common request within the iPhone’s Keyboard settings, allowing users to disable the iPhone’s auto-correction.

Also, I hope they concentrate on getting the email fetching bug fixed in the new firmware, multimedia messaging, a full-on word processor,

Apple has finally acknowledged the iPhone 3G’s reception issues, confirming that the iPhone 2.0.2 software update was designed to fix those problems.

But, it’s not clear whether all of the problems have actually been fixed. I still have the problem where it occasionally drops from 3G to Edge on the Rogers network. I have read many reports (from US bloggers) where people have reported that the update did improve their reception.

However, I was reading Chuq Von Rospach’s blog (a former Apple employee) who reported earlier this week that Apple will take several months for a fix to be developed by Infineon, believed to be the source of the reception problems. Perhaps the 2.0.2 update isn’t the complete fix, but a starting point for putting the reception issues to rest.“What I was told was that 90% of the disconnects are initiated inside the phone, which would exonerate AT&T. Most of the disconnects are being generated by crashes in the driver code for the 3G chip, which comes from the chip vendor, not something Apple written and outside of Apple’s direct control.”
