Apple beta testing iPhone 2.1 firmware, adding more GPS features




iPhone 2.1

We just got word that has released a beta version of OS 2.1 to developers. Along with the 2.1 firmware, a new version of the iPhone SDK has been seeded as well, but the new SDK can’t be used for submitting applications to the at the moment.

A few new things we are seeing in this version of the software is the addition of a bunch of Core Location features that track the direction you are heading, and the speed you are traveling. Looks like we might see a turn-by-turn GPS app after all on the iPhone 3G.

Good to see Apple working on improvements already. Potentially there are many updates that could be done, I hope they listen to the iPhone users!

Any chance that the GPS functionality includes a way to get location information from a web page?  Like a JavaScript API call?

thanks, Chuck

I wonder if they are fixing the connection issues…if possible and it is due to SW not HW.

Any chance we see A2DP and MMS support?
How stupid can they be to remove these features??

does any1 have more then 100 apps installed on the Iphone?
after 101 the phone does not load the application.

Remember if you have a jailbroken or unlocked iPhone you should wait to hear that it’s safe before upgrading to iPhone 2.1 http://www.iphone-hacks.com/2008/09/09/iphone-21-to-be-available-friday-september-12/

Penso che si sbagliano. Cerchiamo di discutere di questo. Scrivere a me in PM, parlare.

Their new OS should wipe the floor with this one.
