iPhone 2.2 News

According to TUAW, "Apple has given developers a taste of the new iPhone firmware, version 2.2 beta 2, and it includes a host of spiffy new features that are making the rounds online," but that's not something boiling hot, since we talked about the iPhone 2.2 beta here, on BindApple, just a few days ago. Back then, we were talking about the new Google Street View feature, and now we're going to move one step further - today, it's all about podcasting!

Since last month Apple stopped an app called Podcaster from entering the App Store, it seems now things are becoming a bit cleared. TUAW's Robert Palmer continued by writing that "A tipster shared with us some screenshots of the new firmware, including what appears to be the ability to download podcasts directly to your iPhone (and presumably your iPod touch).

This could tidily explain why Apple rejected the Podcaster app last month."

While the iPhone 3G proves to be a really useful blogging tool for those crazy enough to use it for such a purpose(excuse me, but I would rather write a 10,000 words article using my computer's keyboard, instead of a 150 words one, using the iPhone; I am sure I'm not the only one who's feeling this way about it).

Now, podcasting makes things even more interesting - if the iPhone 2.2 will come with support for line-in audio, as it goes the rumor right now, you can even start your own radio station, with the iPhone 3G and a mike. That's great, but I really want to see the iPhone 6.6.6 update coming up, with support for making pancakes. There's no rumor about that, yet, but this is one of my secret iPhone desires...
