So, the first step is to download and install iTunes 8 on your computer. Next you need to open the program and select iPhone from the device list. Click Check for Update in iPhone Summary and then just download and install the software update while keeping the handset connected to the computer, until the update finishes to install. That’s it.
Now you’re ready to use all of the new features, one of which will be described in this article’s following lines.

Find My iPhone is a functionality that works similar to those complex services provided for laptops, which help you find your lost computer and erase all the stored data remotely.
Like the other similar software, Find My iPhone is a paid service with a yearly fee, but you still can test it for up to 60 days for free and then choose if you want to subscribe to it.

Once installed in the iPhone OS 3.0 software update, it becomes accessible via your MobileMe account. To get there you need to enter the Settings area via the Home screen, tap Mail, Contacts and Calendars, while having the Fetch New Data set to Push, and select your account on MobileMe. The last step is to turn on Find My iPhone.

Now, if the iPhone is lost or stolen you can simply log in me.com from any computer and go to Find My iPhone. It will show you the location of your handset on a map. At this point you have two options available. One is to write a message that will be displayed on the handset’s screen while a sound will play continuously even in the silent mode, helping you find the handset in the near proximity, or you may go for Remote Wipe and make all your data disappear. The second option would be used when the user is almost sure the handset was stolen.

There is also an additional feature you may use for extra protection, and this involves setting up a password for the iPhone, so that you’ll be the only user to get access to the data.

The MobileMe service is free to try for 60 days and available as a subscription service for $99 a year.

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.
