Finally, after years of waiting (well, years for some, but only months for me), today Apple has finally released the iPhone OS 3.0 which only makes the iPhone more kickass and makes me love it even more. Finally I can cut, copy and paste. Whoopee! And make the most of its Bluetooth. I'm torn between sarcasm and sincerity here, because although there are great new features, that only means the iPhone's already not-too-satisfactory battery life will shorten even more.
Aside from the two mentioned above, though, the OS upgrade boasts of nearly a hundred new features, most of which I still have to see and discover for myself (perhaps that can make us forgive Apple for giving the iPhone a crappy battery life?). I was planning on upgrading my phone tonight when I realized I left my USB connector with someone else and forgot to take it back. Now I have to actually wait another 24 hours before I can give my it a revamp. The upside to this? No congested servers. At least I was able to see the search feature, as well as the MMS capability, on the iPhone of an officemate who told me he managed to squeeze the upgrade into his daily morning ritual.
Before the iPhone OS 3.0's final release, the most publicized features had been the cut, copy, paste ability, the search feature, MMS capability, and typing/texting in landscape mode, and better Bluetooth functions. These alone are great, but with the promise of 100 new features, I can't help but want to know more. PCWorld did have this article on 10 Hidden Features, so that leaves around 85 more for me to discover. Until then, I'll have to wait for that USB connector.
