    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.

Apple released a pre-release version of iTunes 7.7 for developers tonight. In the Read Me of the iTunes installer is a hint at a previously unannounced iPhone/iPod Touch application:

Use iTunes 7.7 to sync music, video, and more with iPhone 3G, and download applications from the iTunes Store exclusively designed for iPhone and iPod touch with software version 2.0 or later. Also use the new Remote application for iPhone or iPod touch to control iTunes playback from anywhere in your home — a free download from the App Store.

Apple reveals that they will be offering a free app on the App Store that allows you to remotely control iTunes in your home from your iPhone or iPod Touch. The application will presumably work under Wi-Fi to control playback of iTunes. 

Apple has previously patented methods to implement such an iPhone Media remote control.
