So, the iPhone. A very innovative piece of technology created by the creative work force at Apple Inc. in Cupertino, California. Apple has made an amazing breakthrough with their newest iPhone OS 3.0. The iPhone OS 3.0 has over 1,000+ new APIs! Amazing! Giving the breakthrough framework much, much more power! So, lets talk bout’ some of the newest features in the iPhone OS 3.0 technology. Get a big cup of coffee or a Monster because we have a ton of new features to talk about!

In-App Purchase

New to the iPhone is a very cool thing called, In-App Purchase. The point of this new feature is to make it so customers can buy additions to apps. Here’s an example, say you have a game for $ .99 and the person buys it. With the game you include levels 1-10. With in app purchase, the customer can buy levels 11-20, etc. There are endless possibilitys with what you can do with this feature.

Cut, Copy, Paste!

This innovative, yet simple new feature will keep you from having to go back and forth in apps. The cut, copy and paste feature will let you now, as the name implies, cut, copy and paste. Since everything is stored on the iPhone’s shared cache, it works between apps! All you have to do is double tap the selection you want to cut, copy or paste. I hope I don’t have to get more in depth than this.

Landscape View Update

Now, you can use landscape view in the stock app, notes, mail and messages!

MMS(iPhone Only)

Now, you can even MMS! Support for MMS is coming from AT&T in late summer.

Spotlight

Now, you can search everything on your iPhone with Spotlight! Just like on the Macs, spotlight will search every file on you iPod and show you the results.

Voice Memos

Now, preloaded, comes the ability to record voice memos!

Calender

We all thought that the iPhone’s calendar couldn’t get any better right? WRONG! Apple has improved the organizational skills of the calendar making it easier to use.

Mobile iTunes Store Improvements

Now, instead of only being able to buy music on the mobile store, you can now buy movies, TV shows, and audiobooks too!

Stocks

The stocks app is still here, but with a better interface! Now you can go into landscape mode to get a better look at the percent raise and decrease, and it includes more details on the stock you are looking at!

Safari

Now in Safari, you get faster speeds and even the time saving form auto-fill!

Internet Tethering

To some, the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word tethering, you think of illegeal hacking and such. Internet teathering is 200% legal. What is does is it allows you to attach your iPhone to your computer and access the internet anywhere on your computer if you don’t have a card!

Stereo Bluetooth

Now, you can connect your iPhone to Bluetooth stereos and play your music on the big speakers wirelessly!

Auto Wi-Fi Spot Login

Do you go to a Starbucks almost everyday and stick around for about an hour? Aren’t you sick of having to keep on typing in your AT&T wireless username and password? This new feature automatically does that for you!

Sync Notes

Get the milk, pick up Brian from soccer, Julies ballet at 4:00 and get John from football at 7:00. You can now sync all your notes from your PC or Mac to you iPhone. No more having to copy them down again!

Parental Controls

With parental controls, you can now what you will let your child watch or listen to.

iTunes Store Account

Instead of only being able to use just one iTunes Store account, you can now use multiple accounts if needed!

YouTube Login

Now, you can login to your YouTube account and see your favorites and bookmark more favorites, right on your iPhone.

God, writing all these new features is tiring! There are soooooo many!

Shake To Shuffle

As introduced with the iPod Nano Chromatic, you can now shake to shuffle your songs.

Universal

Now, you can set the iPhone to 30 different languages and 40 different keyboard layouts!

MobileMe

For those of us who are Apple junkies, there is MobileMe. MobileMe is a service provided by Apple that keeps your calendars, mail, photos and contacts in sync with you iPhone and PC or Mac. Also, if you lose your iPhone, you can clear all the data and use the GPS chip in it to locate your lost or stolen iPhone!

P2P App Capabilitys

Have you ever been frustrated with the fact that you have to be connect to a network to play games with other people? Well not anymore. Now you can play games through and Ad-Hoc (P2P, no router and anywhere) network!

I hope your as tired reading as I am writing this review. Please comment and I thank you for your time!
