It actually comes out in early july.



1. Cut.

2. Copy.

3. Paste.

4. Shaking the iPhone undoes pasting.

5. Push notifications via text alerts.

6. And audio alerts.

7. And “badges.”

8. You can send photos via MMS.

9. And audio.

10. And contacts.

11. And locations.

12. Spotlight. Universal search across multiple major apps.

13. Search within the Calendar app.

14. And Mail, even if the mail’s on the server.

15. And Notes.

16. And Contacts.

17. And the iPod app.

18. Tethering. If your carrier supports it.

19. Developers will be able to sell subscriptions via the App Store.

20. And do in-app commerce.

21. Landscape mode is now available in Mail.

22. And Notes.

23. And Messages.

24. And Stocks.

25. You can forward text messages.

26. And delete them.

27. You can select multiple photos via e-mail.

28. Hardware add-ons can talk to the iPhone via Bluetooth.

29. Or, alternatively, via the dock connector.

30. iPhones can communicate directly with each other via peer-to-peer Bluetooth connections.

31. There’s a voice memo app.

32. Third-party apps can incorporate maps.

33. There’s support for turn-by-turn GPS navigation. (But developers will have to provide their own maps.)

34. Third-party programs can incorporate the functionality of the Mail app.

35. CalDAV lets the Calendar app share calendars.

36. You can also subscribe to calendars.

37. The Stocks app has news headlines.

38. And more price/equity info.

39. And more market cap info.

40. Stereo Bluetooth is supported. Good news for lovers of wireless headphones.

41. Encrypted profiles. Not sure what this is, exactly, but sounds like A Must For Enterprise Users.

42. YouTube accounts. If you’ve got one, you can log into it.

43. You can also subscribe to YouTube videos.

44. Revoke certs. Not the kind with Retsyn(tm), I assume–another enterprise feature.

45-61. Support for seventeen new languages.

62. VPN on demand. I’m not sure what this is, exactly, but it sounds important

63. OTA profiles. That must stand for Over the Air profiles. Sounds enterprisey.

64. Media scrubber. You can already move back and forth in iPod audio and video files; maybe this does it in a more sophisticated manner.

65. Parental controls. Finally, a way to block fart apps. I hope.

66. iTunes login. I’m not sure offhand how this is different from logging into your account right now.

67. Call log. A more full-blown one than the existing “Recents” feature, I’m assuming.

68. Autofill for Web forms. Handy for sure.

69. EAS policies. I believe that stands for Exchange ActiveSync, and I’m glad I don’t need to worry about it.

70. You can sync Notes with unspecified applications on Macs and PCs via iTunes. And wirelessly?

71. Audio/video tags. Tags: always cool! But I’m not sure on the details here.

72. Live video streaming.

73. Shake to shuffle songs. Like with the current-generation Nano.

74. Proxy support.

75. Wi-Fi auto logins.

76, LDAP support. Presumably in the Contacts application to get corporate address books in.

77. EAP SIM. I just read Wikipedia’s brief article on this, and I still have no idea what it is.

78. iTunes account creation. Presumably to make iPhones more autonomous: You can use iTunes even if you don’t have a computer.

79. YouTube ratings.

80. Create meeting invitations. Via Exchange? CalDAV? Other means?

81. Anti-phishing. In Mail and/or Safari, presumably.

For iPhone owners, it just keeps getting better. 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

If you get a top HTC Android, you won't need an iPod anymore, and you certainly won't need an iPhone. If your AT&T contract is over, I suggest Sprint. They will give you the only truly unlimited plans left, and you can enjoy your smartphone without worries. Sprint offers the HTC EVO 3D, a phone your iPhone-toting friends will envy. It's a 4G phone, with 3D display, 3 cameras, capable of taking 3D photos and videos, dual-core processors, and all the usual bells and whistles of an HTC Androids, plus its quality and beauty.
