iPhone Firmware 2.1 on Friday
New iPhone 2.1 firmware will be released on Friday according to Steve Jobs at yesterday’s Apple event.
Engadget calls the update: “bug fixes galore” and quotes Jobs as saying there will be “No crashes.” We’re not sure if he meant the iPhone won’t crash, or if Apple’s servers won’t crash from everyone downloading the new firmware.
iPod Touch owners will also be able to use the update which is available for them now, but it will cost them $10.
The much-talked-about Nike+ support sadly won’t be available for the iPhone due to a lack of horsepower in the iPhone’s hardware. iPod’s will be enabled for Nike+ which allows workout mavens to track their workouts on their iPods and through the Nike+ website.
