GearLive reports that Apple has seeded a beta version of iPhone 2.1 Firmware (Beta 1, Build 5F90) to developers.

According to the site, Apple has included new Core Location features that might suggest that turn-by-turn GPS could become a reality. Core Location can reportedly track your direction and the speed at which you are traveling.

Along with the new firmware, Apple has also seeded a new version of the iPhone SDK but the new SDK can not be used to submit Apps to the current App Store. There have been earlier reports that Firmware 2.0.1 had been spotted in the wild, but a 2.1 upgrade would presumably introduce more than just bug fixes.

Update: Besides Core Location speed and heading additions, Apple has also included early Push Notifications APIs that allows applications to process notifications in the background. Apple promised this feature by September.

Re: 3G iPhone

you know what is really pissing me off?

when you write an email, the send button is in the upper right, and cancel is in the upper left. but when you do a text message, the cancel button is where the send button is for email! so many times i've canceled things i wanted to send.

Posts like these come from folks who either:

1. Haven't tried the iPhone.

2. Don't have enough cash for the iPhone but are jealous of others who already have one.

The iPhone is a killer platform and using mine all the time at work I can tell you I've rarely needed copy and paste. If you're a business traveler maybe but for personal use copy and paste really hasn't been a necessity.

I wouldn't figure Kamal for 2) but you obviously know all

Copy and Paste is HUGE for many business people. Especially, the ones that like to fuck kids.

Welcome back Janky, how ya been...... actually I did have an iPhone for about a week.

For me, I do use copy and paste for the hosting a lot AND I also type when I'm driving (which I do even more than I copy and paste) so for me, a virtual keyboard means more attention on the phone/distraction from all other things. The Qwerty keyboard and feeling my way around the keys is definitely easier. Not to mention I have only the bottom half of the phone to traverse with my thumb for 1 handed control instead of the entire phone. I'll give you that, the iPhone is a piece of work and revolutionized cellular phones..... but so far the only features that the iPhone has over the upcoming BB (bold) is the browser and screen size but the latter is a VERY capable phone (oh and probably gonna be $100 more than the base iPhone)

Re: 3G iPhone

yup i heard about this. hopefully apple will get to the real deal soon, since you only can cut and paste inside this app its kind of useless, but good for a POC.
