iPhone 2.0 Firmware Improvements : Saving Images/Photos from Safari, Contact Search Capability, and iCal. Following the previous post, iPhone 2.0 Firmware has YouTube Plugin (Next, Flash support?), Recently we've spotted that the latest version of the iPhone 2.0 firmware (v1.2.0) brings features that we've long hoped for from Apple: the ability to save images from the Safari browser directly into the iPhone's photo album, contact search capability, and allow meeting invitations through the iPhone's iCal application - bringing it closer in line with the desktop version of iCal.

Many Photos/Images on a webpage can be saved and used as wallpaper, contact images, and emailed to friends. If you've been frustrated that you can't save images from Mobile Safari on the iPhone, get ready to squeal with joy. A simple tap-and-hold on the image to be saved brings up a pop-up dialog box allowing you to save the picture to your iPhone's onboard storage. Yes, just hold your finger on an image in Safari longer than normal and a dialog pops up allowing you to save the image or go to the associated URL.

Contact search is also available in the iPhone OS 2.0 firmware, with the same familiar search-box interface that we're used to in the iPhone's Safari browser. Meeting invitations through iCal work similarly to the Mac OS X desktop version of iCal.
