Yes folks, it’s that time of the year. Apple has a brand new iPhone firmware, version 3.0 which is filled with features. All we need now is a new iPhone version. Let’s take a look at those new features then!
Copy/Cut & Paste is here. Double-tap on any piece of text and you will get a cut, copy and paste bubble dialog. Double-tap again and a paste bubble will appear if there’s anything in the clipboard. The application is available for copy and pasting photos too.
The landscape keyboard is also official. You can write anything you want in landscape now.
Peer-to-peer WiFi connectivity will allow two iPhones to connect directly without the need of an actual WiFi network.
A new API will let you use your iPhone or iPod touch to control peripherals. Maps will be used inside other applications as Maps is now an API. Turn by turn directions will also be available. Developers will be able to create turn-by-turn applications using the iPhone GPS and combining it with any maps without actually needing a 3G connectivity or Google.
iPhone 3.0 will also bring us that much needed push notification. Voice over IP and voice communication will be used in any application starting with this iPhone OS. Auto recording will be possible and accessing music from applications will also be now available.
As for the App Store, the new OS will bring new possibilities too. You’ll be able to subscribe to apps, purchase additional content for apps or additional levels for games.
What do you think? Happy with all these new features?
