iPhone OS 3.0 Announced

Well, Apple finally added copy-and-past to the Jesus phone and its about time. Today Apple announced the features available in the iPhone 3.0 operating system update and from a developer and user perspective they are pretty nice and much anticipated.

As usual Engadget has the best coverage the the operating system update. I think Apple put a lot of thought into copy-and-past - I like the double tap, menu, and shake to undo gestures they used. Better late than never! They also add phone-to-phone communication through bluetooth and access to Google maps from an SDK perspective.

According to AppleInsider a beta version of iPhone 3.0 OS will be available to registered developers here (it was not up when I posted this, however).
