New Upgrade To iPhone Allows For The Display of Google Street View

3Dwalkthroughs.com first heard about Thursdays upgrades to the iPhone on Wired.com. Two of the more exciting of these upgrades include remote podcast downloading and changes to the Google Maps application.

Remote podcast downloading enables users to download audio and video podcasts onto their iPhones with the iTunes app over a wireless connection. In the past, to get podcasts on iPhones, users had to download them onto iTunes on their computers and then connect the handset to sync the files.

The Google Maps app is now capable of displaying Google Street View, a mode that provides a 360-degree view of thousands of locations taken with cameras mounted on Google's cars. Also new to the Maps app are the abilities to look up walking and public transit directions, view addresses of dropped pins and share location via e-mail.
