If you’re an iPhone user, hook it to iTunes and you’ll get a special treat. Version 2.2 of the OS is out and will automatically update your phone to access Google Street View, public transportation, decreased call setup failures, smoother email, improved Safari stability and wireless Podcast downloads. Am I the only one scratching my head at half these “improvements” which I thought were in the prior 2.1 iPhone update (stability, drop call resolution).

I thought that 2.1 covered OS stability (app crashes) and this one seems to have focused on Safari stability. I have to say I tried this against some of the websites that gave me grief in the past and so far it’s been very stable. We’ll see if that continues to be the case, however.
Like the new Google Street View. Took me a few to figure out how to do it, but once I did it was great. I kind of like how they implemented it with the zoom and flip, and then back out to the map when you are done.
The keyboard speed seems to have improved as well, but that may simply be a function of the device having been reset.
Visual VM does seem louder/clearer than before. I know that this is supposed to be one of the improvements, but what exactly are they supposed to have done to bring this about?
I’d like to know what’s up with the call setup/stability updates though – I agree – I though that part WAS supposedly already implemented.
