Apple last week began testing iPhone OS v2.2 beta 1, the next software update for the Apple iPhone and iPod touch devices, reports Apple Insider.
Some of the key changes/updates include:
– The new iteration of MobileSafari eschews the magnifying glass and refresh buttons at the top of the screen, instead displaying the URL bar and search fields side-by-side, much like the desktop version of Safari. Page refreshes are now accomplished via a tiny icon located inside the URL bar.
– The Google search field in mobile Safari has been moved to the immediate right of the address bar . Currently you need to tap the address bar to bring up the Google search field.
– The refresh button has moved into the URL textbox
– The “Tell a Friend” option is more prominent and with an equally prominent “Report a Problem” button
– There are a few changes to the App Store. Among them is a new categories page that will feature large category icons.
However, there is still no mention of support for copy and paste and background push notification.
