More iPhone software 2.2 screenshots have leaked on to the web revealing not just one new feature, but two new features to get excited about.

The first being the Direct Podcast Downloads. The leaks was provided by German blog Flo's Weblog, a very exciting blog. We not only enjoyed the 2.2 firmware screenshots, but also the photo gallery of their Sunset Cruise.

Flo's Weblog seems to confirm reports that the next iPhone update will allow users to download podcasts via the mobile iTunes Store over 3G and Wi-Fi. Last month Appleinsider suggested these functions would be available, but like Google Street Viewer, the functions had not been activated by Apple during the seeding process until now. Apple placed a 10MB limit on items that could be downloaded over a cellular network. There is no word on how this limit will addressed with podcasts.  Maybe you could download a lower bit-rate version of your favorite podcast while on the road.

The 2.2 facelift is taking place on the App Store categories as well. No longer will we be bored with simple text. Now we can look forward to fancy icons next to simple text.
