Apple Releases iPhone 2.2, iTunes 8.0.2

As has been widely rumored, Apple rolled out iPhone OS 2.2 tonight via software update, which brings Google Street View, mass transit directions, location sharing by e-mail, and, most excitingly, over-the-air podcast downloads, which has been a fairly glaring oversight (and source of considerable controversy).

At the same time, Apple has whipped out iTunes 8.0.2, which is basically a bug fix, plus improved results for VoiceOver, Apple’s accessibility technology for the visually impaired.

Nothing big, but good to see Apple improving its software nonetheless.

I am a regular blogger and sometimes source my material from Podcasts that I get in iTunes.
Up until the last version of iTunes 7 it was possible to select and copy feed information from the “Show Description” field available from the Contextual Menu.
But since the advent of iTunes 8 this feature has largely been debilitated.
Currently in very few podcasts an occasional link in the “Show Description” field, maybe live, but in a majority of cases the text in the “Show Description” field is completely impervious to interaction.
Perhaps someone can find a fix for this ?

Hey, I have the Ipod touch and it says that i can upgrade it to the iphone. I bought it and everything but everytime i try to update it always says “there was a problem downdoading the ipod software for the ipod (my ipod’s name). You do not have permission to access the requested resource.
Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later.
I don’t get why it says these things when I do have permission and everything what do I do please help I really want to add games to my ipod touch and this is the only way or is there other ways? Please contact me back!
Thank-You
