"The new iPhone OS 3.0 is a major software release packed with incredible new features and innovations for iPhone customers and developers alike," said Apple Senior Vice President Philip Schiller. "It will keep us years ahead of the competition."
Uh…so what’s the major, killer features? Here’s a few:
- Cut-and-paste
- Phone-to-phone wireless connection
- Push-notification system
- Landscape view for email
- Phone tethering (maybe)
- Flash support (maybe)
Years ahead of competition? Gimme a break. Windows Mobile has been doing this for years. Apple is just catching up – not releasing breakthrough features.
