iPhone 3.0 hits iTunes
Apple has begun distributing the final iPhone 3.0 firmware through iTunes. The 230MB download adds a number of demanded features to the iPhone OS, such as tethering, MMS messaging, turn-by-turn navigation and copy, cut and paste. Movies, audiobooks and TV shows can now be bought or rented from a handheld, and expanded control of third-party accessories has been enabled. JavaScript performance is said to be substantially improved, sometimes tripling the speed of the Safari web browser.
Some other changes include voice memos, stereo Bluetooth, global Spotlight searches and landscape keyboards for all first-party apps. Third-party apps have gained support for features like in-app purchases and peer-to-peer networking, while the OS in general should now support autofill on the web, and automatic logins for Wi-Fi hotspots. Some 100 new features are present in total.
