For all you iPhone users, you’ll be happy to know there are plans for the release of a free operating system version upgrade this summer, which promises to offer increased functionality. As a relatively recent convert to the iPhone minions, I am keeping a watchful eye on what the new OS is about. I love a lot about the iPhone, but I also don’t like some very specific things; mostly what’s lacking. The new OS will take care of at least a few of my major complaints.
From Apple.com:
Advance preview of 100 new features
When iPhone OS 3.0 arrives this summer, it will introduce over 100 new features, including the ability to:
- Search your iPhone
- Cut, copy, and paste
- Send photos, contacts, audio files, and location via MMS*
- Read and compose email and text messages in landscape
When you’ve got some time, relax and watch Apple’s recent (3-17-09) presentation in Quicktime movie format –previewing the new functionality. It’s long, but worth watching it to learn lots of interesting info about the developer process of the now 25,000 iPhone apps as well as the new functionality to be unveiled this summer.
If you’re less interested in the developer info, jump to minute 7 where they begin talking of the OS 3.0 new functionality.
