Things You May Not Know About iPhone Firmware 2.2



In this video, I give a brief description of the popular features that have been added as a result of iPhone OS 2.2 firmware update. As we all know, the firmware adds Google Street View to the Google Maps application which allows one to zoom down to a street level view of a location. It also makes use of Google Transit to get public transit routes right on your iPhone. With 2.2, you can also download podcasts directly from your iPhone instead of syncing with iTunes. Some things you may not know include security updates that 2.2 fixes: There are several security fixes that address issues such as visiting a maliciously crafted TIFF image that could reset your iPhone!! Wow! Visit the link above to get more information about the security fixes. Jailbreaking may not be a good reason to stick with 2.1 as I had no idea these security flaws were present. If you’re holding off on updating, I highly suggest you consider these security fixes prior to making your final decision. Enjoy.
