Announcing Apple 3.0
With some major rewrites on the cards, Apple announced the version 3.0 of its iPhone operating system would be previewed at a special event on Tuesday 17th March.
Although the details are clearly being kept under wraps there is wide speculation of what might be included in the next OS release.
iPhone owners are keeping their fingers crossed that the new software will have :-
- - support for video,
- - include turn-by-turn directions on maps
- - possibly support Flash
- - multimedia messaging (MMS)
- - support for Bluetooth stereo headsets
- - cutting and pasting within the browser
- - and better search capabilities.
The news comes just days after Google announced that it will be releasing a new version of its Android operating system, codenamed Cupcake. And it looks like Apple’s announcement may be a tactical announcement to jump ahead of Google.
It remains to be seen whether the new 3.0 upgrade will work on all the current iPhones in the markeplace. Given that the first generation of iPhones are coming up to the end of their original 2 year contracts it could mean these poor owners are left out of the loop.
