iPhone OS 3.0 all new features

The operating system from apple had to e replenished and updated as it was one of its kind when it was released but was becoming old with many new operating systems like that of the Palm pre coming up and giving tough competition.

The OS 3.0 from Apple is said to be with an impressive 100 new features.

I also heard from my cousin in the US who acquired the Palm pre saying "It is an iPhone killer" he said this before yesterdays update and release of the new iPhone.

Now coming to the features of the new OS:

Copy Paste Text:
Copy cut and paste from anywhere to any place but in your iPhone, this option helps us to copy, cut and paste many lines of content from app to app or from app to web or web to app or from notes to web. This will really help us in writing stuff offline and then posting them when ever we like to do it.

Copy Paste Photos:
This is another feature which is very much welcomed as we can easily upload the photos into the websites and also we can also post the photos in websites without much fuss. This also works across all the app to app or app to the web interfaces.

Landscape Keyboard

Useful when you have fat fingers and find it difficult to type in the normal mode, TO get the landscape mode just rotate iPhone to landscape to use a larger keyboard in Mail, Messages, Notes, and Safari.

MMS
Send MMS messages and include video, photos, audio, and contact info. The collest option is to "tap to snap a picture or shoot a video right inside Messages."

Spotlight Search:
This is the best option in the new updates is what i think, the Spotlight search is similar to that of the one in Mac.
The Spotlight makes it easy to search from the whole of the contents of your iPhone where ever what ever you might have will come up in the results. Hope it is as powerful as that in the Mac.

Find my iPhone - A feature using which one can login to MobileMe account and see where the iPhone is, in the Google Maps.

Voice Memos:
Capture a memo, a meeting, or any audio recording on the go. Voice Memos works with the built-in iPhone microphone or with the mic on your headset.

3G Tethering:
This feature will allow you to connect your iPhone 3G to a laptop, to use it as a modem to access the internet. Carriers still have to sign-off on it, and probably charge more for it. None have announced it yet.

Improved Calander:
"Create meetings via Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and subscribe to calendars with new CalDAV support." This is what i read in Apple site and seriously saying i din understand a thing from it.

Improved stocks application:
The stocks application now allows you to read related news, so you can enjoy yourself learning about the latest market scandals, stock crashes, and executives getting bonus packages from government aid while their companies sink into hell.

Parental Controls:
Decide what music, videos, and apps your kids can access.

Shake to Shuffle
Give iPhone a shake and it shuffles to a different song in your music library.

Sync Notes
Never leave a note behind. Now you can sync all the notes you write on your iPhone back to your Mac or PC.

Anti-phishing:
Mobile Safari now can warn you against malicious sites trying to scam you.

The OS 3.0 is going to be released on 17th of June 2009, and you can download it and enjoy here
