Apple Updates iPhone Software: Maps, Podcasts Enhanced

Apple unveiled early Friday a 2.2 software update for the iPhone, bringing new features such as Google Street View and over-the-air podcast downloads. The 246MB download is available in iTunes, for iPhone owners and delivers features that were previously expected and a couple of small surprises.


A major update was made in the Maps applications, which was enhanced with Google Street View and with public transport and walking directions, together with timetables, fares and estimated travel time.



In the 2.2 update, by pressing the Home button from any Home screen, displays the first Home screen of the phone, instead of taking you back to each previous menu like the old software did.

This new improvement is prone to save you some time when using apps with many intermediary menus.
