    Public transit in Google maps?! Finally! I was pretty bummed when my Google maps lost features when I upgraded from my Treo 750.

    Improved stability and performance of Safari, thank god. My MobileSafari has been crashing at an ever-accelerating rate. I can't even load the Apple store, and you know that that has got to be a priority one bug.

    I suppose the removal of Podcaster is now explained by the new ability to download podcasts from iTunes. Podcaster would essentially be killed by now but why didn't they let the developer sell his app for a couple of months? It sounds like it would have been good for everybody. Good update though!

      Then the people that bought it would have complained that Apple let them pay for a feature that came out for a free a couple of months later. That's the problem with secret roadmaps.

  The most important one: over the air podcasts. Sweet!

    This was available software for previous firmware versions, but Apple stopped their customers from using it.

  It doesn't seem like it has propagated through their CDN yet, I get the updated page every few page views. In the meantime though, its been copied to here: http://hotiphoneapps.wordpress.com/2008/11/21/apple-releases-iphone-22-firmware/ http://hotiphoneapps.wordpress.com/2008/11/21/apple-releases...

It has some fixes for the Japanese market that might really help its adoption. Emoji input is now supported and emails from non-iphone users containing Emoji now display (at least the text displays, not sure about the Emoji). Before the text was not even readable, a massive failure, considering it means most people could not read a large portion of their emails.

Don't forget and install this on your jailbroken phone just yet-- apparently it updates the 3g baseband, and the 2g tool won't be ready for a while. http://blog.iphone-dev.org/ http://blog.iphone-dev.org/

I wonder how long it will be until image-handling vulnerability rates drop below 1 per year.

I don't see a new version of the iPhone SDK. Does the SDK not care what version you're running? I thought it only "liked" versions 2.0 and 2.1 of the firmware?

  The new version of the SDK is now available for download. 1.56GB. I've never quite figured out why the SDK has to include a whole new version of the entire Apple developer toolchain with it, but there you have it.

Street View in Maps is slick (very smooth panning and zooming), but not very user discoverable: click a pin, then click the little person icon.

I got the update, but how do I download podcasts over the air? I don't see the option. I want this one for example http://www.wnyc.org/shows/radiolab/ http://www.wnyc.org/shows/radiolab/

  Wow this really sucks. I can't just enter a URL anywhere? I have to use their categories!? Worthless.
