iPhone OS 3.0: The Next Generation

Thanks to a headsup from one of my cyberspace buddies, I jus downloaded and installed Apple’s new iPhone OS 3.0. Yes, it doesn’t come out until next week, but some generous soul was kind enough to post a copy of the gold master online.

The highlight is definitely the ability to cut, copy and paste now. Landscape keyboard across all apps is cool too – I’m typing this blog entry in landscape mode in WordPress on my iPhone. The ability to search locally on my phone and the voice memo features aren’t a big deal for me and I had to turn off the shake-to-shuffle feature – turns out I shake too much to make it practical. I had thought my iPhone was currupted until I recognized that feature – boy was I relieved.

Overall I’m underwhelmed but I didn’t expect otherwise – afterall this is jus an OS update. I still love my phone tho and wouldn’t trade it for anything. =)
