Videos: Apple's iPhone OS 3.0
As the smartphone stakes heat up, Apple isn't resting on its iPhone laurels. On Tuesday, the company introduced version 3.0 of the gadget's underlying system software, and if there was nothing earth-shattering, it did deliver on some features for which users have been clamoring.
Here's a look at the iPhone OS 3.0 event in short video segments:
-- Copy and paste --
-- Search --
-- MMS --
-- In-application purchases --
-- Peer-to-peer connectivity --
-- Push notification --
-- Leaf trombone World Stage --

I'm not paying $9.95 to copy/paste when iPhone users get it for free. Just not going to happen unless I get a free upgrade to the new OS. I mean, since they're building in ways to squeeze you for more money in the apps, I'd think they'd _want_ you to have the OS update (speaking about how they're goin to build in a payment model that can be included in programs for services). That's a great feature that a commercial mobile platform should have, but I'm not paying for the privlidge to be able to pay for more.
name one other company thats even doing this ?
Apple could have easily left the update out and pushed a new Ipod touch and asked for 229$ instead !
and BTW the apps r not a way of milking it's just a way to make the device get more functionality !

Keep in mind, once the update is released... it will be all over bit torrent, so if you want to screw the Government, you'll have that option :)

- Yeah it will, but some features (like MMS) won't function because of hardware limitations. I think everything else works though.
