Apple has seeded a beta version of iPhone 2.1 firmware to developers yesterday.

GearLive reported that this version includes new Core Location features that could bring turn-by-turn GPS to the iPhone. Core Location reportedly has the ability to track the direction and speed at which you are traveling.

Meanwhile, hints of an copy/paste feature on the iPhone have been found according to MacNN:

One notes that in exploring the Localizable.strings entry under English.lproj in the current iPhone WebKit framework, there are entries for several commands the firmware does not currently support, including cutting, copying and pasting. Apple has expressed interest in adding the feature, but has not set a timeframe.

The emergence of the iPhone 2.0 firmware and App Store have now made the addition of a copy/paste feature even more crucial.
