iPhone OS 3, features, and what to expect.
iPhone OS 3 is now on the horizon. Ever since Apple released the iPhone back in 2007 it has been a huge success worldwide selling millions of units. Although it is not selling so good in the business enterprise market it is gaining some momentum now. With iPhone Apple started the App Store where you can find a lot of third party applications. Games from well known game creators and useful applications from teenagers who makes a nice income. The availability and the ease of loading applications to the phone also make the phone popular.
The phone have also been criticized for lack of certain features found in other smartphones. MMS for iPhone have been one requested feature but I think iPhone cut and paste have been the most sought after one. With iPhone OS 3 Apple is going to correct some of these issues. Some of these features are the following:
- Spotlight Search your iPhone
- Cut, copy, and paste
- Send photos, contacts, audio files, and location via MMS
- Read and compose email and text messages in landscape mode
- Landscape keyboard in all Apple applications
- Improved text messaging that lets you forward and delete messages
- Stereo Bluetooth AD2P
These are just some of the features we can expect. If you have the iPhone 3G the update is free when it is released sometime summer 2009. For the first generation iPhone you have to pay a little to get the update. And also note that MMS messaging will only work with the 3G phone.
A little wish from my side is allowing the phone to run background applications, I am not sure if that is something we will see in this software update, but lets hope so! At least we have Push ...
