Why You Should Wait for iPhone 3.0 OS ?
Monday, March 23rd, 2009
Is not good time to buy iPhone 3G now. Apple is going to release the new iPhone 3.0 OS in few months later.
The iPhone 3.0 OS is a lot better than current version 2.2.1. It will be FREE for iPhone 3G and iPhone classic users, but iPod Touch users will have to pay $9.95 for the upgrade. Yet, nobody know all details until its final release.
iPhone 3.0 OS features
What so special in iPhone 3.0 OS ? This version will cover many of the iPhone users wish list. Long awaiting features as listed below.
- Multimedia messaging – MMS was at the top of the iPhone 3.0 wish list. But for me nothing exciting about such basic feature in most mobile phone.
- Landscape Keyboard – Landscape mode will be available in more apps, including email.
- Cut, Copy and Paste – It finally here. It works across all applications.
- Stereo Bluetooth – Unexpected new feature. Just like A2DP in my Nokia N82.
- Text Messaging – It finally support text forwarding. Also nothing special to me. My Nokia 3310 already can do that 6 years ago.
- Real Time GPS navigation – iPhone wil become full featured turn-by-turn directions GPS device. Most probably will come through paid apps.
- Full Search - The search feature allow you to search your calendar, mail, iPod library, notes, and contacts all at once.
- Peer to peer network – Perhaps use for network gaming?
There are a lot more improvements not in list. Hope we get surprise on its final release. (more…)
