Mar 17th iPhone 3.0 gives us the future Minority Report promised us
And about time, because the world owes me the future Hollywood has promised me!
But no, really, the 3.0 iPhone software update which is heading here in June is impressive if Apple’s presentation is anything to go by.
Some of my thoughts about the new features:
- Copy/paste: About time, and it will make grabbing info from the web and sending it in an SMS… Well, it’ll make it possible. Which is awesome.
- MMS: Honestly, I’m fine using e-mail for multimedia messages, but it’ll be nice being able to receive e-mail instead of using the inanely bad system of using browser with some crazy username and password.
- Spotlight: Nice. Sometimes I forget if I received something via SMS or e-mail, and this will fix that issue.
- Peer to Peer: Hey, fair is fair, the Zune came up with that one first!
- Accessories: The fact that apps can be developed for accessories could be interesting. Speaker docks, for example, can be revved up quite a bit now, instead of being limited to a basic remote or whatever.
- Minor updates: Seems to be quite a few of those, my favorite involving anything related to shaking the phone. I don’t know. I just like shaking things.
