If you haven’t noticed in iTunes yet, the firmware update for the iPhone, 2.0.1, has just been released. In the always descriptive change log, Apple tells us nothing once again. The 249 MB update addresses “bug fixes” per Apple’s announcement that many hope will fix the Contact delay, Safari crashes, and issues with many of the new native applications. One major out cry, extreme sync times due to back-ups, have not been resolved according to some users who have already upgraded. Others are reporting that Contact searches have sped up, as well as iPod and Calendar response seeming to be more peppy.

Next up, 2.1. The rumors have cut-n-paste and MMS as new features as well as the push-notification API available for third-party vendors for use with such programs as Instant Messaging.
