iPhone Firmware 2.2 to bring refined Safari, maybe Cut & Paste?

iPhone Atlas has posted screenshots of the new iPhone 2.2 features.

Looks like a redesign of Safari is in the works, along with a slew of new features.


While details regarding the newly released (for registered developers only) iPhone OS 2.2 are still trickling in, sources report that the MobileSafari interface has been tweaked. The new iteration of MobileSafari eschews the magnifying glass and refresh buttons at the top of the screen, instead displaying the URL bar and search fields side-by-side, much like the desktop version of Safari. Page refreshes are now accomplished via a tiny icon located inside the URL bar.

Wired.com is speculating that it will be bringing the Cut & Paste feature as well. We can only hope, that is the one feature that really limits the iPhone as smartphone in my opinion. I mean, really, no cut and paste after a year?

Allen, your reception any better? Mine seems to be, though I'm still suffering some dropped calls...

I'm not dropping AS MANY calls, but still way more than with the first generation iPhone. I've been all over the country, and it doesn't seem to be directly related to Denver. I've talked to several folks in Texas who have the 3G, and they get dropped calls and delayed voicemails just as much as I do. It's at least better now. If the phone interface wasn't so darned good, I would seriously consider something else though.
