iPhone 2.2 screenshots leaked, show new App store interface and Podcast support
While the rest of us wait around for the official release, some lucky Devs have tossed caution to the wind and ignored the binding clauses of their NDA to leak some screenshots of the upcoming iPhone 2.2. firmware update to the world. Among the goodies include a look at a redesign of the App Store to make it a bit more intuitive. The big news, however, is the addition of a Podcast tab to the iTunes store. Providing the ability to download and subscribe to podcasts on the go should mark a significant feature addition, and even better yet it appears that any podcast under 10MB will be available over the 3G network. Similar to the App store, files exceeding the 10MB limit will only be offered over Wi-Fi, but given the impressive strain on AT&T’s data network, we can’t say we’re surprised. As always, this is subject to change before official release, but the shots look polished enough that we’re confident in getting our hopes up for the final iteration.

This is starting to sound really awsome. If Apple does this, I will drop my Zune like a red-headed step-child. Microsoft has been so lazy at adding features to the Podcasts side of the Zune. Why doesnt MS simply add the option to delete on the fly or bookmark a podcast?
Goodbye Zune, hello iPod or iPhone!

Go apple! Keep taking application developers deny them to the app store then rebrand it into your os. Remember the podcast app and the tethering app that got leaked couple months ago? No wonder they have an NDA

I am testing the device for business use in a company of over ten thousand employees, and the lack of a copy and paste is the last thing on the list keeping me from putting the device into production. I have been using the iPhone 2.0 since the day of release and keep almost going back to my BB for lack of the C&P function….

How about fulfilling the business promise. Compared to the WinMO Email, calendaring and contacts, the Apple stuff is way to basic and primitive. No search or sort in email, can’t add/edit attendees to a calendar event. How about addressing some of these realworld business needs.
Or is Apple just admitting this is no more than a toy/gadget to play with and not a true business PDA contender like Jobs boasted. Hardly a BlackBerry or WinMO killer!

i think apple will put all this in in time. That or wait for the next Iphone. And that is why they have NDa, plus who knows, they may have been working on it for a long time before the dev submitted it so chill out.

Always same old story, It will come in time, the damn POS has been out for over a year, countless updates, Apple does not and will not care what the rest of the real PDA users think, they are going to keep doing their own thing.

MMS & C&P PLEASE. Ability to snooze a calendar reminder would be nice.

WHERE IS MMS? COPY PASTE? IM? ABILITY FOR ME TO ASSIGN ANY SOUND FILE TO AN ALERT OF ANY KIND? REPEATING ALERTS? VISUAL EMAILS NOTIFICATIONS ON MY LOCKED HOME SCREEN INSTEAD OF HAVING TO UNLOCK, CHECK, AND READ? WHERE IS MY PUSH EMAIL? WHERE IS MY ABILITY TO SEE THE TIME IN THE DAY SOMEONE CALLED IN MY RECENTS IF THEY CALLED ME BEFORE TODAY? THE IPHONE IS SO AGGRIVATING TO A POST BLACKBERRY USER.
Apple, A lot of these things you have promised in conferences and news releases. Please stop trying to make me spend more money by trying to sell me more. Please deliver on what I’ve already bought from you. You have wasted a lot of my money on what you billed as a revolutionary device. So far, the only thing I have received from you is the same thing you are poking fun at Microsoft for giving us - a lot of marketing.
