Apple Released their new iPhone update on thursday.

It is now available through iTunes for all iPhone/iPod Touch owners. The last update (2.1) was released in september.

The update has many improvements including added Google Street View to Maps which lets you see a 360 degree view of locations which Google has deemed worthy.

You can now also download podcasts through the built in wi-fi store (insead of syncing from a computer). This seems odd that it wasn't possible before as most podcasts are just audio like normal songs.

Many other minor tweaks were also done like improved phone capabilities and public transport locations on google maps.

The iPhone is by no means perfect though so expect more updates from Apple.
