iPhone OS 3.0 & iPhone 3GS
Well, probably many of you already know that, just want to notify those who missed it :)
http://www.apple.com/iphone/preview-iphone-os/ iPhone 3.0 with : - Copy&Paste - Horizontal Keyboard - MMS - AdHoc WiFi - Spotlight - And over 100 new functions + over 1000 new APIs for SDK ( already available ) Well, the thing is i`m interested in MMS messages. Apple said that this function will be available only on 3G iPhone due to "different type of gsm transmitter", do you guys know something about this ? I mean, what`s different there that it`s not possible ? Or maybe it`s just a trick to push users towards the 3G model ? Well, on jailbroken iPhones 2G we had MMS app - though it didnt work in "realtime", but rather like the Mail app, but still... What do you guys think about it ? |
Beta 3 came out a little while ago. Its comming along nicely although I can't really say that it is as much as an improvement that 2.0 brought along. Out of the current main improvements the only ones that I would use would be spotlight, horizontal in some apps & maybe copy/paste. I don't use my iPod for much work. I think that one of the main improvements will be that the apps that the devs make will be able to do more.

To be honest, i`m waiting for MMS and horizontal keyboard the most. Well, push notifications are hot feature as well. Well, we`ll see what will those "100+ new features" announced by Apple be. Also heard that 3.0 works faster and more smooth than 2.2, but i can`t say anything as i havent used it - 99$ for beta is a little too much for me cause i simply dont need it.

No, SDK is free of course. But if you want your iPhone authorized and activated to test OS 3.0 Beta, you have to get a paid subscription.

If is not this way, how can you test it?
|
Well, actually you cant test 3.0 right now unless u`re registered there. SDK for 2.2.1 is free of course and includes iPhone simulator, but free SDK including 3.0 will be available later ( probably the same time as the 3.0 itself )
|
I'm coding some apps for fun to put in the app store so I saved up and paid the subscription. You get access to a forum, the 3.0 SDK, 3.0 firmwares (iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPod 1st generation, iPod 2nd generation). From what I read you also get two technical support things. Not sure exactly what they are for yet.
|
So, can you provide us with some info about 3.0 OS ? I mean - are there any new, visible features which are not so well known ( known like for example mms, or copy&paste cause everyone knows about them already ). How about the speed ?

zack, i have that problem with MxTube sometimes, think theres a connection? :P
