    Unfortunately , it looks like that there is no new Languages support (i.e Arabic) , even though apple just announced the release of the iPhone 3G in Egypt ! 

 People who own officially unlocked iPhones un-jail-broken and does not care about arabic support can go ahead with the upgrade through iTunes, others would have to wait for the Jail-breaking tools to accommodate this new update.
