Some details emerge about iPhone firmware 2.2, including Google StreetView
October 6th, 2008
A few details about version 2.2 of the iPhone firmware have emerged. According to the Digital Earth Blog, it will include Google StreetView, an expected move since it was recently released for Google Maps Mobile (Nokia, etc) and is part of Android.
In addition, you’ll finally be able to disable auto-correction on the keyboard. I personally hate it, so I’ll be happy to get rid of it.
Beyond that, they’ll be including support for Japanese emoji icons, which has been blamed as part of the reason for the slow iPhone adoption in Japan.
No word on Background Push Notification in this update, nor a release date for it.
