Apple iPhone 3.0–Today was big day for the mobile world

Apple made their announcements today regarding the anticipated release of their iPhone 3.0 and Mobile enthusiasts can’t wait for what is about to come.  Some really great and exciting new features, over a hundred new added in the new release (I will not go through them all), but here are some of the big ones below:

1. The long anticipated Cut & Paste is here and in a good way.  You can double tap over your selection and a prompt will pop up asking whether you want to cut, copy or paste. You can expand your selection area using your thumb and if you make a mistake when you are pasting, just shake it away…I love it..like eraser dust!
2. The famous spotlight on a mac is now going to also be available on the iPhone and you would be able to search your entire device.  That is handy!  Search will also be available in Mail and Calendar.
3. 3G tethering– this is available so you can use the internet on your phone through your computer….no word on whether the carriers are supporting this.
4. Landscape keyboard has been added to some of the applications, most notably Mail.
5. MMS now available for the iPhone (this should have been available on the 1.0 but I guess better late than never)
6. Shake to shuffle music in iTunes
7. Safety features such as anti-phishing and parental control
8. Voice Memo application- allows for voice recording
9. PUSH NOTIFICATION– this is a big one and it is long overdue

There are more features where that came from but and I am sure we will hear all about them in the coming weeks. Come back and I will keep you posted.
