Sandmannen: Street View - in Maps, go to the location you want to view, drop a pin. You will notice a new button on the right - (a "person") - click on that and you have street view! - May I suggest adding Google Apps AND most of all Google Earth! - now you are unable to put your iPhone down for anything! You will have to join iPhone Anonymous!

Seems more stable, but:
1. Before the update you could delete Movies/TV directly on the iPhone,
now you can download podcasts, but need iTunes to delete them to make room for others.
2. Still no voice-dialing. Essential now in California.
3. Still no file transfer to your Mac via Bluetooth.

Correction on my previous point 1:
If you have nimble fingers abd slowly drag them to the right over a title a red "Delete"
button appears. I just notice the headline " Ne iPhone User Guide ... Released."

Hope they explain thing there!
