The new 2.2 beta 2 is back and ready for devs to download, and we’ve received reports about some hidden features that are definitely worth mentioning.
We initially posted that the OS 2.2 beta 2 was seeded to developers last week, however quickly after the first report Apple removed the update. 
The firmware was made available, yet again, to developers sometime Friday.
Some other sites have disclosed that the firmware will be equipped with Google Street View, as well as the ability to support Line-in audio accessories.
This is great, but there are also some little bits of information that bloggers seem to be missing about beta 2.
Yes, you do have the Street View, which is cool, but now you can also attach your location to emails. This allows recipients the ability to click on the location and get directions directly from Google Maps.
Another great hidden feature that isn’t being discussed? iTunes has added a tab for downloading podcasts. An interesting turn of events since Apple originally rejected a 3rd party app, Podcaster, that had similar features.
Finally, the last thing we’ve heard is that the App Store user interface has been moderately tweaked. The changes are slight, but noticeable.
