New iPhone firmware on Friday

Steve Jobs announced some new products at the Let’s Rock event.

You can catch a rerun on Apple website.

Apart from the 4th generation iPod Nanos and the new iPod Touch (looks really thin), a new iTunes was announced for immediate download (HD shows & Genius playlists are some of the improvements). A new iPhone firmware, 2.1, will be delivered on Friday.

Promised changes include no more App crashes, faster backup, less call drops, better battery life (let’s hope so!) and undetailed bug fixes.

The background push notification was noticeably not talked about.
