Apple iPhone version 3.0 announced

Apple have finally listened to some of the griping and feedback that has been plaguing its flagship product* and are planning on releasing an update to their software to cater for some of the problems that many have had using their iPhone.

Version 3.0 is all the talk amongst the iPhone community now, as Apple releases a sneak peak at some of the new features that will be available for iPhone owners. When iPhone OS 3.0 arrives this summer, it will introduce over 100 new features, including the ability to:

Search your iPhone
Cut, copy, and paste
Send photos, contacts, audio files, and location via MMS
Read and compose email and text messages in landscape

While this only really addresses a small portion of the problems and gripes that many have had with the Apple iPhone, it shows that they are listening and intent on improving the iPhone to make it the leader not only in aesthetics but also in functionality.

I have included a short preview of the great new features of the newly released iPhone OS 3.0 Software on an iPhone 3G. This is a live preview on an actual iPhone 3G kindly uploaded to Youtube.com by "TheDopestMattAlive"

Take a look at what's in store...

14 things I dislike about the Apple iPhone

Wanted to post my thoughts on the product for others to comment on and hopefully Apple to read and put on the dev list for future development. I tried to submit this into the Apple forums but they removed it almost immediately saying this stuff wasn't in line with the forum... Basically, they don't want to know about it... So I thought I'd put it here... Let me start by saying that the Apple iPhone is a fantastic looking product! No question, and usability is also fantastic... Again, Apple have produced a product like nothing else, they have broken the mould and done something very different - I love it! I especially love the way you move between and zoom in on pages...Just sliding the finger was a fantastic innovation. Unfortunately, there is some functionality missing that is quite disappointing when you consider how advanced the rest of the design and usability is... While you can operate without this functionality, it would just make using the device so much easier ...

Calendar Synchronisation

18. Here is something very strange and odd... I had an annual calendar appointment pop up on my iPhone this morning warning about an upcoming event.  As I no longer participated in this event, I deleted the calendar item and select "All future events".  I have come to work today and synchronised my phone with my laptop only to find that iTunes has re-added the recurring event back into my iPhone... HELLO!!!! I deleted because I no longer wanted it... Why re-add it... So I thought, ok another iPhone inefficiency that they've overlooked, I'll delete it from my calendar in Outlook and you wouldn't believe it, it was not there... SO, iTunes has obviously check my iPhone, noted that the event was deleted, checked my Outlook, noted that the event was present, added the event to my iPhone and then deleted it from my Outlook?????? Say What????? Even I'm confused... but even more confusing is how much more difficult it would have surely been to program it that way...
