iPhone 3.0 software revealed!

dnite / 17.Mar.2009

You can find all the opinions everywhere, I’m going to (for once) try and do a quick and dirty list of new stuff announced for the 3.0 software and SDK.

The bigger end-user stuff..

  • Copy and Paste (Works everywhere!)
  • MMS (Contacts, Pictures, Audio and Location via Text)
  • Stereo Bluetooth
  • Note Syncing
  • .ics Calendar subscriptions
  • CalDAV Calendar support
  • Voice Memos
  • Forward and Delete text messages
  • Landscape mode for Mail, Notes and Text
  • Email multiple photos via Copy and Paste

Other ‘tags’ in the background graphic included

  • YouTube (Accounts, Ratings and Subscriptions)
  • iTunes Account Creation
  • Call Log (Please tell me this means I can delete 1 phone call!)
  • Create meeting invites
  • Proxy support
  • OTA Profiles
  • Shake to Shuffle
  • WiFi Auto-login
  • Anti-Phishing support
  • Auto-Fill support
  • Media Scrubber? (WTF?)

The larger developer stuff..

  • Push Notifications
  • New Streaming Video/Audio API
  • Turn-by-Turn direction support
  • Maps app embeddable API
  • Bluetooth Peer-to-Peer support with Bonjour
  • In-App Purchases (Paid apps only. Free apps are still always free)
  • Accessory app support (Apps that control accessories)
  • In Game Voice

Some smaller stuff seen on the backsplash graphic..

  • Text Selection
  • Proximity Sensor
  • Shake API
  • Data Detectors
  • iPod Library Access
  • In-App Email
  • Battery API

That was about it. Most of the ‘big’ news should have been around for a while, but whatever. They’re coming this summer and I’m stoked. I’ll update again (maybe.. If I’m not gagged by a super tight NDA) after I install the beta. I’m excited!
