It’s taken me long enough, right?
The long awaited update to the iPhone OS has been release and 3.0 is everything we could have dreamed of. Tethering, shake to shuffle, cut/copy/paste, landscape keyboard, spotlight search, and shake to undo (seriously!). Plus they”ve added a standard voice memos application and if you have mobile me, you can use Find My iPhone, a program that uses gps to help you locate your missing iphone whether it’s somewhere in the same room or miles away, and remotely wipe your information if you think it may have been compromised.
Additionally, the iPhone 3G S has been released with great updates that we’ve all been waiting for… since the release of the iPhone. Now we have video, 3.0 mp camera with auto focus, voice control and speed… Oh. The speed. Undersold and overdelivered is exactly right.
So what more could we want?
Personally, I’m hoping that we’ll add background app support for non built-in apps, first of all. I love streaming from Pandora, but if I want to text at the same time, I’m SOL. It’s the most substantial argument that my non-iPhone user friends have been able to present thus far, and it does hold true. It’s not absolutely crucial, but it would be nice.
I’d also LOVE to see Flash support. The only thing missing from my iPhone web surfing experience is the presence of any site that uses Flash. I’m actually very surprised that this didn’t happen for the 3.0 OS update. With so many sites that have integrated flash design, it’s incredibly surprising that Apple hasn’t jumped on this.
While those are my primary and really only issues, PC World has a few more additions to the list, most of which dealing with data storage and management. Fair enough.
Even so, the iPhone 3G S is dominating the competition (and was dominating within the first weekend of sales) with 1 million units sold within 3 days of it’s launch. The iPhone 3G also sold 1 million units within the first weekend. However, the 3G was launched in 21 countries. The 3G S? 8.
Palm what?
