Apple has tonight released version 2.2 of the Apple iPhone OS and it is now able to be downloaded from within iTunes. Enhancements to Google maps and Mail feature, as well as improved performance within Safari. After the controversy of banning a podcast app from appearing within the iTunes store, Apple has done what was expected and introduced the ability to download podcasts on the iPhone themselves. The download is around 246 Mb. Check here on how to apply the update.
Details on the update can be found on this page....http://www.apple.com/iphone/softwareupdate/
The update contains:

Notable interface changes

When you view applications on the iTunes app store, if they have more than one image, you see a "Tap to view" option...
And can then cycle through each of the images available to look at...
