IPhone 3.0 has copy/paste, subscriptions, micropayments, P2P, maps, push, MMS, etc

From the report:

No backgrounding, no multitasking, no unobtrusive notifications. No copy and paste (yet), no MMS, no video. Really pretty minor stuff thus far.

Ah well. So we have push notification, better hardware access and the maps API opened up for apps. Not totally shit but not revolutionary either.

You really should watch the live coverage by someone other than engadget. I get the impression their person is only there because someone threatened to fire him if he didn't go.

If you are looking for information the Grumpy Mystery Science Theater version of the live cast is the wrong place to be.

I recommend watching the video on apple.com

Peer to peer communication and device apis are nice too.

Device API is what interests me the most! (even if I'm nowhere close to be a hardware engineer) I feel like it really opens a new field for the iPhone.

I'm not quite sure what would be a great application for this yet (the examples were ok but not ground-breaking), but I really like the idea of the iPhone being able to control a bunch of stuff...

They've also added copy & paste, landscape view in Mail and other key apps, CalDAV support and MMS so far. Looks like they've made an effort to address most of the criticisms of the phone while laying the foundation for a huge amount of additional functionality from apps, especially with the p2p API. I'm quite pleased with what's been unveiled.

MMS and C&P are a go.

Backgrounding and video would be nice, but when I think "phone features" they're not what come to mind.
