Full FeedApple seeds iPhone 2.1 firmware
Apple has just seeded a beta version of iPhone 2.1 Firmware (Beta 1, Build 5F90) to developers. Apple has apparently included new Core Location features that might suggest that turn-by-turn GPS could become a reality. Core Location can reportedly track the direction and the speed at which you are traveling.
Along with the new beta firmware, Apple has also seeded a new version of the iPhone SDK, although the new SDK cannot be used to submit applications to the current App Store. Earlier reports suggested that Firmware 2.0.1 had been spotted in the wild, but a 2.1 upgrade would presumably introduce more than just bug fixes. The new features that will be included in the 2.1 version of the iPhone firmware include the early Push Notification APIs which allow applications to process notifications in the background, a featured Apple promised for September.
