Till today, Apple has launched iphone 3.0 firmware 5 times, named beta 1 up to beta 5. All for testing purpose mostly for developers.
The final 3.0 ver is gonna be out soon in summer so better wait for that. Its recommended not to mess ur iphone till the final ver comes out. (if you are not a developer or a geek)
For all the unlockers and jailbreakers out there, life is lot easier to stay one step back in firmware updates and uncheck your itunes iphone updates so that they never show up or update your iphone automatically.
Recently faced problem is that iphone 3g can only be unlocked via software till fimrware 2.2 , all other updated iphone 3g owner have to suffer turbo sim / rebel sim which is another pain in the ass if u really wanna make calls out of ur iphone 3g.
For all the original iphone contract sim users out there iphone 3.0 os is really a dream come true, find out how amazing os 3.0 is in the video and future details when you read this complete article.
This one was no surprise. Copy and paste is finally available on the iPhone through a double-tap and a little dragging of the paste boarders. Any text can be copied, but you can also now copy and paste photos-which means that you can also send more than one photo at a time. Developers can also integrate copy and paste into their apps.
The iPhone’s terrible multimedia messaging always seemed like us to be just as bad as the lack of copy and paste on the iPhone, requiring you to jump through absurd hoops to view photos that someone shared via MMS (you couldn’t even do it from the iPhone). Not only can you send pictures via MMS, but you can also share contact vCards and audio files using the new voice notes application.
The one catch: MMS will be iPhone 3G only.
3.0 adds Spotlight to your home screen (and search to many different apps), allowing you to launch an application or find a contact or note through one central application and document launcher.
iPhones will now be able to connect directly over a Wi-Fi network for sharing files directly between phones. The first thing we’d consider sharing is music, but it seems unlikely that that’s the kind of functionality Apple will enable for this. Still, sharing a document, vCard, or photo with a direct peer-to-peer connection is pretty cool.
Though not enabled in anything provided by Apple in this release, the 3.0 update will enable developers to create turn-by-turn apps.
Apple promised this one last year-a feature that allows developers to send push notifications of updates without the cost of running the app in the background. We’ll believe it when we see it.
It’s not clear if this means we can expect to see Skype or something like Google Voice on our iPhones or iPod touches any time soon, but Gizmodo is reporting that voice communication will be available in applications. They point out that this means users could chat with people they’re playing a game with, but we’d be much happier to see a simple VoIP application for talking with people when you’re on a Wi-Fi network without wasting your minutes.
We didn’t mention much about this one, but Notes sync is clearly listed as a new feature. Guess that doesn’t mean all that much to the guys at Giz, but we’ve been dying for this one forever.
According to the Apple, the public release will be sometime this summer. However, it looks like eager early adopters may be able to join the Apple Developer Connection to start testing it today. We’ll let you know when we find out more.
We’re sort of reeling at the thought of all the new features, leaving us at a bit of a loss for what’s missing. Was there a feature you were hoping for in the iPhone 3.0 update that it doesn’t look like we’ll be seeing? Let’s hear about it in the comments.
