I am actually more intestested in new OS 3.0. One of the less heralded features of iPhone 3.0 OS is geolocation data available inside Mobile Safari. This isn't actually a feature of 3.0 per se, but rather part of the HTML 5 spec. So, next Wednesday when you update your phone to 3.0, you are able to use Javascript code to retrieve your latitude and longitude.

I hope this will add more usabilities to Web Apps like, i-Roadmate

Wow, I didn't think of that. You're right. With geolocation, your i-Roadmate app will have all the necessary functionality of a full app!
