What’s new on iPhone firmware 3.0?
So much has been said about the iPhone firmware 3.0 launch that I won’t bother talking about it. Apple announced Tuesday a host of new features for the next version of its mobile operating system, iPhone 3.0. Among the additions are two features that the company has long been criticized for overlooking: The ability to cut, copy and paste text between applications, and support for multimedia messages.
Here are some of the notable features that will be offered:
* Cut, copy and paste support within and between applications.
* MMS support.
* A global search feature, which lets you search content from various applications on the iPhone from a single interface. Like the search feature in OS X, this is called “Spotlight.”
* The ability to compose e-mail messages, text messages and notes in landscape mode, which gives the user a larger, easier-to-use keyboard.
* Support for peer-to-peer Bluetooth, which will enable the iPhone to connect with other Bluetooth devices, including stereo Bluetooth headsets. Previously, the iPhone only supported Bluetooth for connecting to monaural phone headsets.
Nice features to have on any phone which were missing on something as cool as an iPhone. Its good that Apple has managed to get their act right to get these features rolling. Can’t wait to upgrade my iPhone!

How about a Flash player???? Would they develop one or just make a deal with Adobe already? I’m sick of not being able to see half the things I need to because of this.
It’s ridiculous for it to still be missing on the 3g when other phones have it.
Come on Apple, get with it
Initially there was talk about a Flash player from Adobe. But I believe this is not going to happen so soon!
Any ideas on when this will come out? ☺
Penny,
The beta version of the software is already available for download for iphone app developers. I believe that the final version will be launched very soon. Do keep a lookout on Newgadgetsguru for the latest update when it happens.
O.O
