iPhone Arabic Support - One step Closer ?!

Well, while exploring the surprising Firmware 2.2 {JB ofcourse}, I crossed by something. I don't think this was in any of the older versions - Correct me if I'm wrong - see by yourself:







This wasn't possible previously, except by using a patch from installer/cydia. So I think we'll just wait for the next step, the font maybe, or just the right-to-left languages support.
Is Apple trying to make someone happy here ???
Update: Will the day come when we'll all sing: El-iPhone Betkalem 3araby !

iPhone 3G - GPS woking in Egypt

Hi there,
well here are the screenshots I got from my apple iPhone 3G, during one of my drives in Alexandria, Egypt. GPS is great, and couldn't believe the results I got especially in Egypt. This proves that apple, did some hard work, and good team-work too with Google. And if it worked in Egypt, then .......... you know .......... it works anywhere !!
