We’re still a little irked that Apple has ignored our requests for copy and paste functionality on the iPhone 3G, but at least we’re getting another firmware update that doesn’t just include “compatibility testing.”
According to MacRumors, firmware 2.2 will equip iPhone users with Google Street View for Google Maps, as well as the ability to disable auto correction, which has the reputation of ruining a few good SMS exchanges. To help with the iPhone’s decreasing popularity in Japan, the firmware will also including emoji, which are adorable little Japanese emoticons.
Wait—Japanese emoticons? I’d venture to say the Japanese are just as upset about the lack of copy and paste as everyone else.
No word on when Apple will release firmware 2.2.

I'm still waiting for an update which includes the following:
1. Copy/Paste.
2. Ability to edit documents such as OpenDoc and PDF.
3. Ability to record/send video & audio podcasts.
4. Camera enhancements such as digital zoom, low light settings, etc.
5. Ability to delete photos on the iPhone.
6. The Photograph app to actually categorize the photos as events as seen in iPhoto.
7. Ability to run apps in the background via push data such as for using chat messengers, streaming radio, etc.
8. Ability to tether for countries that allow tethering such as Canada.

I'd like the compatibility with my Parrot 3100 back again.
2.1 ruined this, and I now have to use the iPhone on speaker when driving.
Rubbish!! :(
