Are we ready for the iPhone 3.0 OS?

Jun 16, 2009 14:14

Mark your calendar, if you haven't already. Just two more days to go before the launch of the iPhone 3.0 OS. If you don't own an iPhone, quit reading. If you do, apart from just sitting here waiting, start wondering how the new OS would do good for you.

What's good? well... maybe:


  • Cut, copy and paste

  • MMS (hmm... can your carrier handle that?)

  • Tethering--acts as modem for your Mac or PC so as to be able to share Internet connection (only if you're that mobile)

  • Find my Phone (gee, this is a joke.... only if you're subscribed to MobileMe)

  • HTTP-based streaming audio and video (isn't your iPhone slow enough?)

  • Full GPS (again, we hit the speed issue here)

  • Bluetooth mutiplayer gaming capabilities (no comment on that one)


As for what's bad... my only concern is how laggy the iPhone 3G would be with the new 3.0 OS. Guess we will find out in two days.

I'm using the 3.0 GM release and everything is great. There are no speed issues at all.

After reading Jasadac's review, I'm not upgrading. There's isn't too much of upgrade for me.
