iPhone 3G firmware 2.1 seeded to developers with new GPS features
While many consumers are still trying to track down and get their hands on a new iPhone 3G, it seems that Apple is already plowing ahead with a new firmware revision. OS version 2.1 has been seeded to developers and contains a number of enhancements and changes, many of which are focused around the GPS functions. Core location services will be updated to provide information about your direction and speed. Could this signal an impending arrival of some turn-by-turn navigation software or support? We certainly hope so, but we’ll have to wait and see as there’s no telling when this one might reach general release. Word on the street is that Apple has also implemented a beta version of it’s push background notification service in the 2.1 release as well. You all know how much we’re waiting for that… Background notification FTW!
they are moving faster on the software this time around. Its good to see as they had more bugs in this one.
i agree about background notification, bring it on.
naw man i needz more gps in my life …..and copy/paste … and landscape keyboard and ….lol well you get the point
lol doubtfulll you will have the turn by tur gps my moneys on it just to bick jailbroken phones tin their futale attemplempt to stave off the iphone dev team
your expectations are too high
can people with the first generation iphone get this update, and benfit from it?
its just a beta for developers at this point but im sure that when apple releases it, it will be for all iphones.
They’d better fix the obvious bugs in 2.0., such as the accelerometer problem and push email battery drain. GPS is the last thing they should worry about.
