iPhone 3.0 Software coming soon...

Back in July, after having my 3G for a few days (and my 1st gen for 10 months) I made a list of things I wanted in the iPhone but didn't get with the 2.0 update. Let's see how things will stand after 3.0 arrives this summer...

* Safari STILL needs to run FLASH and JAVA -- No official word

* COPY/CUT/PASTE REALLY (Is it really that hard to program??) -- YES! FINALLY!!

* Video recording (Where the hell is it??) -- Sadly, no mention of it

* Sync "Notes" back to iTunes or something to save them off phone (cause it's STILL completely worthless to me otherwise) -- YES! FINALLY!!

* Turn keyboard sideways in any mode that requires a lot of typing... (E-MAIL) -- YES! FINALLY!!

* MMS messages -- YES! FINALLY!!

* Ability to change the "alert" sounds for incoming E-Mail/SMS (custom sounds) -- no mention of it

* Ability to send pics from camera via e-mail at FULL res! (why the hell is Apple limiting this?) -- no mention of it

* Ability to tether as a modem via bluetooth and/or USB -- FINALLY!! (subject to carrier restrictions)

* PDF viewer needs bookmarks + searching -- no mention of it

* Mail count indicator for multiple email accounts -- no mention of it

* Allow iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store use via 3G -- Was implemented earlier this year

"Push" is finally coming this summer as well along with a Voice Memo, turn by turn ability, Peer-to-Peer, and over 100 new features (can't wait to see what the other 90 are)
