Why?

With iPhone OS 3.0 you will be able to:

Cut, Copy & Paste

Quickly and easily cut, copy, and paste text from application to application. Select entire blocks of web text with a tap. Copy and paste images from the web, too. I cannot wait too see where this is going to be most applicable.

Landscape Keyboard

Want more room to type? Rotate iPhone to landscape to use a larger keyboard in Mail, Messages, Notes, and Safari. I know some men who thought their fingers were just too big for the iPhone…not any more!

MMS

Send MMS messages and include photos, audio, and contact info. Even tap to snap a picture right inside Messages.MMS support from AT&T coming in late summer. AT&T pleeease hurry!

Spotlight Search

Find what you’re looking for across your iPhone, all from one place. Spotlight searches all of your contacts, email, calendars, and notes, as well as everything in your iPod. Whoa! Can we make a spotlight search in my house???

Voice Memos

Capture a memo, a meeting, or any audio recording on the go. Voice Memos works with the built-in iPhone microphone or with the mic on your headset. I wonder if this will beat iTalk?

Improved Calendar

Create meetings via Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and subscribe to calendars with new CalDAV support. I have not gotten much into the calendar so I am looking forward to trying this out.

Buy Movies, TV Shows, and Audiobooks

Download movies, TV shows, music videos, and audiobooks from the iTunes Store on your iPhone3. Uh oh…

Enhanced Stocks App

Get more at-a-glance information and view charts in landscape. Alrighty then ..next just send us the moneymakers!

Safari Improvements

Enjoy faster performance, autofill user names and passwords, and more. Love the autofill already!

Stereo Bluetooth

Connect compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones, car kits, or other accessories. Confusion sets in…I will figure it out.

Automatic Wi-Fi Login

Log in to a Wi-Fi hotspot and iPhone automatically logs you in when you connect again.

Sync Notes

Never leave a note behind. Now you can sync all the notes you write on your iPhone back to your Mac or PC. Cool! I need my notes and now I will have them!

Parental Controls

Decide what music, videos, and apps your kids can access. Hope to never worry about that!

iTunes Store Account

Create and log in to one or more iTunes Store accounts directly from your iPhone. Do we need more than one? One for business one for personal! Love it when I figure things out…

YouTube Login

Log in to your YouTube account to save and sync bookmarks and rate favorites. I can save something to share later, I like!

Shake to Shuffle

Give iPhone a shake and it shuffles to a different song in your music library. What happens if you’re running? I will let you know, not. I walk (really, really fast). But it sounds good to shake when you want a new song.

New Languages

iPhone supports 30 languages and more than 40 keyboard layouts.

MobileMe Find My iPhone and Remote Wipe

Find your iPhone if you lose it and protect your privacy with Remote Wipe. Okay, how awesome is this? With the availability of iPhone OS 3.0, MobileMe members can now use Find My iPhone to help recover a lost iPhone or remotely wipe the personal data on it.

Run the Latest Apps

Run the next generation of iPhone apps, like peer-to-peer games and more.

With all these new iPhone OS 3.0 features I cannot wait to use my iPhone agian. I just updated… Stay tuned. I will let you know what I think in future posts.
