Apple releasing iPhone firmware 2.1 on Friday

At today's Let's Rock event, Apple announced a new iPod Nano and and a new iPod Touch, an updated AppleTV, as well as iTunes 8.

But the biggest news to me is the revelation that Firmware 2.1 for iPhone and iPod Touch is going to be out on Friday - hopefully. The current firmware suffers from frequent application crashes and major iPhone 3G reception problems. Firmware 2.0.2 was pushed by AT&T and Apple as a fix to the reception issues, but that iPhone firmware made things worse.

I'll post an update as soon as I have been able to download my 2.1 firmware. I'm hoping that it fixes the reception issues, otherwise that Nokia N96 is looking pretty good right now.
