Apple has officially released the next update to the iPhone’s operating system, version 2.2. From Apple’s web site:

What’s in this update:

• Enhancements to Maps: Google Street View, Public transit and walking directions, Display address of dropped pins, Share location via email
• Decrease in call setup failures and dropped calls
• Enhancements to Mail
• Resolved isolated issues with scheduled fetching of email
• Improved formatting of wide HTML email
• Podcasts are now available for download in iTunes application (over Wi-Fi and cellular network)
• Improved stability and performance of Safari
• Improved sound quality of Visual Voicemail messages
• Pressing Home button from any Home screen displays the first Home screen
• Preference to turn on/off auto-correction in Keyboard Settings

Also, you are now prompted to rate applications when you delete them from the iPhone. Install it via the iPhone section of iTunes. It’s probably a good idea to do a Sync/backup before applying the update to ensure all of your data is safe.
