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)

- In Game Voice
Some smaller stuff seen on the backsplash graphic..
- Text Selection
- Proximity Sensor
- Shake API
- Data Detectors
- iPod Library Access

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!
