It’s important to note that a firmware update is technically different than an OS update. The blogosphere tends to use the term firmware update loosely because it can get really tedious when you’re being a nit picker about technical jargon. As a general rule, firmware updates will generally unlock hardware features that have been dormant and the consumer won’t usually see any changes. An OS update will affect the look and feel in a much more noticeable manner.
In any case, the iPhone 2.2 firmware update contains elements of both a firmware and OS update. Here are some examples of what improvements we can expect to see in this coming update:
New look for the Safari with the Google search bar now occupying its own space on the title bar
Toggle On / Off to disable the auto-correction
461 Japanese emoji icons
Support for new languages.
Line-in audio is activated and can be used through the headphone jack
Google Street View, Google Transit information - Routes public transport, Walking directions, Location sharing.
App Store: ‘Categories’ now shows the icons of the applications instead of the list, In each page of the application has been added by a button ‘Tell A Friend’ & ‘Report A Problem’, Added the possibility of scoring the application when the user chooses to delete from the device, Added the possibility for direct downloading of podcasts from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store
