Apple announced the availability of the updated iPhone OS 3.0 software which you can download from the official website starting tomorrow.
The update brings the same features package as the previous version, plus several new enhancements which aren’t supported by iPhone or iPhone 3G, and which you’ll find out about from the following lines.
Using the on-screen QWERTY keyboard you can perform the basic functions that you have access to on your computer. For example, you can cut parts of text, copy and paste these to another part of the document, or even to another application, and you can do this more comfortably in the landscape mode that activates as you rotate the handset sideways.
Later this summer AT&T will introduce the support for MMS which allows you to send images, audio files and video content, in addition to contact information. This capability is not supported by iPhone 3G.
Using the new iPhone 3GS you can simply record a video inside the MMS message and send it directly.
Spotlight Search is an advanced search engine that finds the information you’re searching among the content stored on the handset. This includes media files, contacts, calendar, emails and so on.
In addition to Voice Memos, an improved calendar with support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, the access to the iTunes Store, Safari enhancements supporting autofill of user names and passwords, automatic Wi-Fi login, Shake to Shuffle, Sync Notes, Parental Controls and new languages, the update comes with the advanced stocks application, as well as the Remote Wipe feature that finds your lost handset and removes all the stored data, remotely.
By installing special applications from Apple you may establish P2P connections for playing entertaining mobile games.
All of these and more will be available for download on June 17, on Apple’s website.
