Apple iPhone, Firmware

Current software jailbreaks of iPhone 2.0 are living up to their authors’ promises: Apple will not be able to brick them. The 2.1 firmware update, which is coming at an unannounced time but probably very soon, will introduce better turn-by-turn instructions on the iPhone 3G’s GPS function. It can track direction and speed while you’re traveling, which is pretty awesome. Along with the 2.1 firmware is a new version of the SDK.
