Apple has posted a new version of the iPhone user guide, which includes several additions related to iPhone OS 2.2. These include instructions on Google Street View usage and more.

Some excerpts:

• “If you’re taking public transit, the overview screen shows each leg of the trip and the mode of transportation, including where you need to walk. The top of the screen shows the time of the bus or train at the first stop, the estimated arrival time, and the total fare. Tap to set your departure or arrival time, and to choose a schedule for the trip. Tap the icon at a stop to see the departure time for that bus or train. When you tap Start and step through the route, detailed information about each leg of the trip appears at the top of the screen. “
• “Turn Auto-Correction on or off: Choose General > Keyboard and turn Auto-Correction on or off. Auto-Correction is on by default.”

Apple has released iPhone OS 2.2. Among the listed improvements:

Enhancements to Maps:

• Google Street View
• public transit and walking directions
• display address of dropped pins
• share location via email

Enhancements to Mail

• resolve isolated issues with scheduled fetching of email
• improved formatting of wide HTML email

Other Enhancements

• Improved stability and performance of Safari
• Podcasts are now available for download in the iTunes application (over Wi-Fi and cellular networks)
• Decrease in call set-up failures and call drops
• Improved sound quality of visual voicemail messages
• Pressing the Home button from any Home screen takes you the first Home screen
• Preference to turn on/off keyboard auto-correction

The new release is available through iTunes, but you may need to update to iTunes 8.0.2 first.

This is a selling point for the iPhone. I smell an opportunity for Apple to release ads that attack the Blackberry in the same way that their Mac vs. PC ads attack the PC.

Of course, the push notification service and copy-and-paste functions need to be added first. It's hard to say you are the best if you have missing features that even your users are begging you to implement.

This question keeps popping up:

"Is Google's Android mobile phone good enough to take on the iPhone?"

Right now, no. But it is certainly good enough to take on Windows Mobile, and T-Mobile/Google should go after that market with enough force (meaning money and advertising) to run Microsoft out of the market. They simply do not belong there. When Microsoft learns that updates need to come more frequently, then they can be a player in the handset market again.
