Default Re: iPhone discussion and app recommendations
Right, so iPhone OS 3.0 is out this summer, free to all iPhone owners.

This adds:
  • MMS
  • SMS forwarding
  • Stereo Bluetooth
  • Turn by turn directions for maps (TomTom sould be on the way then)
  • Cut and Paste
  • Enhanced search (spotlight a la OSX)
  • Push notification
  • Peer to peer networking for games and other apps
  • Forward meetings and contacts

I'm quite impressed actually, it seems that Apple are trying to shake the rut handset manufacturers got themselves into in which a handset's shelf life is about 6 months. I don't think the iPhone is great but the fact I own a device that Apple are continuing to improve is positive. I'd guess the Palm PRe is putting a certain amount of pressure on them too.
