In the beginning was the iPhone, but it’s connectivity was not good.  Then the iPhone 3G arrived and there was joy … for a while.  Now the shine has worn off, the screen is a little scratched and the people are crying for more.  Ready yourself for the next incarnation, the iPhone is getting a new OS and both programmers and users are excited about the new features and abilities.  See what the buzz is about at Slashdot.

“Apple unveiled the iPhone 3.0 software just now in Cupertino. Here’s MacWorld’s live -action blow-by-blow coverage. The announcement included new features for developers and users. For developers, the big items were in-app purchasing (for example for game upgrades, map content, and subscriptions) for paid apps only; peer-to-peer connectivity via Bluetooth; giving apps access to hardware via the dock connector or Bluetooth; maps embeddable in apps; and push notifications. For users, there’s finally cut-copy-paste available in all apps; search across everything in the iPhone; landscape keyboard; MMS messaging; and voice memos. Developer beta starts today and 3.0 will be available in the summer — free for all 3G phones, $10 for iPod Touch.”
