iPhone Firmware 2.2 Due For Release Next Week

Several sites have mentioned that the iPhones next firmware update might be released next week. These sites reported that the iPhone OS v2.2 will be given in circulation on 21 November ’08. That could just mean that developers will be getting an advance copy to test against their applications that day, but it could also mean that Apple plans to release the update as of that date.

The forthcoming update is reportedly going to bring iPhone users the Google Street View feature as well as over-the-air podcast downloads, among other things. An earlier report had pegged the release of that software for October, but that clearly hasn’t happened.
