New iPhone Firmware Features

iPhone imagesFeature reports are trickling in regarding the new features of the soon-to-be-released iPhone firmware 2.o.  I have already share reports that the new firmware will likely feature contact searching (which is sorely needed), but it also appears that the new firmware will allow you to save images from the web in Safari.

I am talking about the very typical “save image” contextual menu that nearly ALL modern internet browsers have. This feature will make a welcome addition to the iPhone browsing experience.  According to this screenshot from Gizmondo.com, you will be able to save a photo in Safari.

Logically, this feature hints at a much deeper interaction with the iPhone and the OS itself.  If I am allowed to save a file, then I will need to be able to delete a file.  That implies some sort of file access and storage capabilities.  That is great!  It seems that Apple is serious about taking the iPhone from being a great smartphone to being a fantastic UMPC or laptop replacement.

I can’t wait to see more in June!
