Apple have released iPhone OS 3.0, so you can enjoy cut & paste capability, better search or landscape-mode QWERTY (to name a few) just now. The free upgrade can be done through your iTunes directly. Just hook up your iPhone or iPod touch to iTunes and hit the update button to get 230MB updates file.
The same OS will come as standard on the new iPhone 3G S that hits the stores this Friday.

Whoop De Doo… This is not up to the hype. The iPhone is the best phone I have ever had, sorry Blackberry (8 years). But all the hype for cut and paste. I don’t see it.
As for the new Voice recorder, I had a free app that did that already.
I listen to a lot of Podcasts and music, but the new A2DP “compatible” Bluetooth, to allow stereo wireless listening, absolutely stinks. I have the Sony HBH-IS800 headphones. At $199 they are worth the price, they work great with my laptop (Alienware) and other family members phones. But they ‘skip’ or cutout two to three times a minute with my iPhone. Disable iPhone WiFi, and turn off 3G data and they only skip once a minute. (And Yes, both the phone and headphones are fully charged). Also Apple figures that these headphone all come with onboard volume controls since the iPhone hides the volume once you choose the headphones.
Looks like I will need to continue to use my A2DP adapter since Apple’s A2DP did not Fruit.
Thank God I figured this out before I bought a 3GS.
A whole lot of nothing … In order to get the full 3.0 experience you have to buy the new iPhone 3GS. Otherwise all you get are features available with free apps and Cut & Paste and Wide Keyboard in Texting an email. No Voice dialing, no Video camera. I don’t get it!!!! This is just software… Why do you need a new phone to run voice and video software!!!! In this economy its a bit hard to come up with justification for another $200 phone to get features I can get in a free phone with any carrier, even AT&T. Especially when I have a $300 phone that is only 11 months old.
Whoop De Doo!
Need Video camera, multitasking, real bluetooth, springboard customization stuff? Just do JB. Apple does nothing more just implement things already available on JB devices.
Sorry to burst your bubble dave but you will need $500 or $600 dollors for the S since you dont qualify
Hi there, good morning. great post. You have got yourself a new reader. Please continue this fantastic work and I look forward to more of your superb articles
Valuable info. So happy I found your site by accident, and cannot understand why i didn’t find this post earlier! I bookmarked it.
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is required to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100% certain. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate it
