iPhone 2.1 Firmware Coming on Friday: Bug Fixes, Connectivity and Battery Life
Image from Engadget
Alongside the other announcements, Apple announced that the iPhone 2.1 firmware will be released this Friday as a free update. The much anticipated version upgrade will address many of the issues that have been plaguing iPhone users. Changes include:
- Significantly better battery life
- Fewer call drops
- Bug fixes
- Faster backups to iTunes
- No App crashes
The iPhone 2.1 firmware will presumably support the same Genius playlist features described in the new iPod Touches. (Nike+iPod support will be unlikely without a hardware add-on since it uses specialized hardware to communicate with the transmitter.)
No mention of background push notifications were made, however, which were originally planned for a September release.

What bothers me (though probably unjustifiably) is the failure to mention the new Genius playlists or other features as mentioned on the iPod Touch.
But i'm sure they applied to the iPhone as well (seeing the devices are now even more eerily similar).
