New iPhone OS 3.0, the phone that will dominate!

So everyone knew now. We will get new iPhone 3.0 in summer. New features? Yes, many of it.

New iPhone 3.0 operating system will have:

  • Cut, copy, and paste, even without additional button! Nokia, BlackBerry, is that smart, huh? This thing available across all apps.
  • Notifications via a push server
  • MMS
  • Bluetooth improvements (including A2DP)
  • Landscape orientation and keyboard support in all key apps (including email)
  • Search in contacts and calendar, mail. Nah, BlackBerry folks, can you shut up? Our phone now can do that too!
  • New spotlight to search to entire your phone information, tough the detail still unclear
  • 3G Tethering, This feature will allow you to connect your iPhone 3G to a laptop, to use it as a modem to access the internet.
  • Voice Memo!

Other things:

  • New improvemenet over AppStore business model, now apps can sold additional stuff inside app, like a rack full of books, not just sell each book one by one.
  • Apple has sold 13.7 million iPhones through 2008, and 17 million iPhones total. This figure includes first generation hardware. 30 million included with iPod Touch which also has iPhone system.
  • 2nd generation iPod Touch owners (like me) need to pay $9.95 to enable bluetooth support, which is currently locked. All iPhone owners enabled to the new iPhone 3.0 software support, except MMS for 1st gen iPhone.
  • Yes, still no flash. But that’s not a big deal. Since you still able to watch embedded video on the like YouTube, or your own website, if that’s encoded correctly and using correct embed code. User need just tap that video placeholder, and they are go!
  • Notes made in the Notes.app can now be synced to your computer
  • Shake to shuffle is coming to the iPhone
  • Safari browser is getting anti-phishing and auto-fill
  • 1,000 new APIs for developers. And really too many neat developer related new features, and that’s sooo awesome.
  • New SDK beta will available today.
  • The new OS will be available summer.

If only Apple let these features out in first time, may be they can’t hold to anticipate the market and also to support it. Now, after the market is being established, these all new features will make a doom to the markets. All ‘normal’ phone features is now available. Hence, I truly understand that the decision behind all postponed features are either security reasons as well as to achieve the best simplicity yet powerful interaction on their phone, like only having touchscreen and just one button. How many button did it all needs to activate all that features in other phone? That’s truly smart move. This developer preview, and next launched in summer, that’s is called brilliant marketing move!

So what’s more. I definitely say, I should go for this iPhone. Since iPhone will be launched in the next few days here, I didn’t prepared to reserve it now, but let it wait after July. Just anticipating for new hardware!

Now, waiting to download new SDK. Just wait this page to be updated.

    I think you don’t need to wait to buy one, because there is not new hardware (iphone) but only the OS changes from ver. 2.2 to ver. 3. So what we need to do is just upgrade the OS (and it’s free).
    Thx.
