iPhone Firmware 2.0 Adds Web Images Saving

iPhone firmware update 2.0, which is expected to be released around June, adds some very awaited features, including the ability to save web images from your Safary browser, straight to your web album or your email recipient. To do so, just place your fingers on the chosen picture for couple of seconds and wait for the dialog screen to pop up. In addition, the new update offers to capture full screen picture as simple as pushing the home button while holding the sleep button. I have no doubt this cool functions had to find their way long ago, but you all know it’s always better late than never.

Sling Media Wants To Have an iPhone Application

sling-media Sling Media, the company that turns any Internet-connected PC, Mac, or smartphone into a home television, wants a foothold in the iPhone application festival. The company has downloaded the SDK package (along with other 100,000 people) and started developing a designated Sling app. (hypothetically) which means, by the time Apple officially releases the new firmware version 2.0, around June, and launches the App store, you could watch TV virtually anywhere in the world through the iPhone, and although EDGE streaming is pretty lousy, it can really work great via WiFi connection. Stay tuned !

This is funny, even humiliating, as the guys from Dev Team have already managed to put their hands on the new iPhone firmware update version 2.0, and jailbreak it.
