Apple Previews iPhone Firmware 2.0, Additional SDK Notes
 At today's Worldwide Developer Conference Keynote address, Apple previewed iPhone Firmware 2.0 and highlighted some additional features of the developer SDK. New Features In addition to features that were previewed at the iPhone Software Roadmap event, Apple announced new features of Firmware 2.0 and the SDK, including: - contact searching - complete iWork document support - complete Office document support (now includes PowerPoint) - bulk delete and move for Mail - save images you receive - scientific calculator in landscape mode - parental controls - language In addition, Apple announced a method for developers to have their applications receive information while not in use. Apple had previously said that they would not allow background applications to run on the iPhone, to the widespread dismay of developers who need such functionality to server-side information. As a response, Apple has implemented a notification feature into the SDK which will allow applications to be alerted of server-side events (i.e. new IM received, new mail, etc) without having to run in the background and eat CPU cycles. This functionality is scheduled to be delivered in September, however it will be seeded to developers "soon." Availability iPhone Firmware 2.0 will be available for free to existing iPhone customers in "early July". The firmware will also be available for iPod Touch users for $9.95.

$10 iPod touch upgrade fee is very reasonable, IMHO. I think Steve made a good move there, considering they'll make money on every app they sell through the updated software...
Also, good job with MacRumorsLive Arn. Flawless other than the pictures, but obviously Amazon going down was a problem you couldn't have foreseen.

I resisted paying to upgrade to 1.1.4 the first time around; assuming I can step up to 2.0 from whatever version my iPod Touch is at without having to upgrade in steps? If so, then the $10 price tag is not very expensive at all for what we will be getting!

It looks great, I'm definitely getting one. Understand I love this product before I say the following:
Apple had ALL this time to figure out how to implement copy/cut/paste on this thing, and they still haven't done it in this recent revision?! And why add the ability to search contacts but not search through emails? Epic fail. |

Complaint! Complaint! It doesn't have absolutely everything I wanted, and more! And where's my tablet!?
Actually, the second this can be bought I'm there. Do we have to wait until July 11th to purchase, or will it be offered on the store before then, and delivered on the 11th?

I'm surprised there is no front camera.
Not enough wow factor for me to upgrade from iPhone 1.0. I'll wait for next year's iPhone... when my contract is up. Can't wait to get some details on Snow Leopard.

Here's the big news...Wait another month...
Really bummed about the big news being 'wait'.
Anywho...I had a good feeling that we weren't getting anything today. As a iPhone game developer, I was getting ready to be super pissed about not being able to have my game available for the App Store launch...as would other developers I imagine. Here's to looking forward to July 11... |

So glad I didn't jump to sell my 2G iPhone to "beat the rush."
Now all those suckas who sold their iPhone must endure a month with a basic (non) i-Phone! Although it would have been nice to sell for $400 and pocket the difference in July. BTW, this whole waiting thing is seriously annoying. Good thing I didn't call in sick today - for NOTHING! Sucks to be you if you did.

When he said 2.0 update in "early July" at least we know that it will be out before July 11, as that is the release of the 3G phone, which requires 2.0. So, they'll have to have the 2.0 update finalized and released before that launch, so that all activations from July 11 on will get the 2.0 update, but they have a month, so maybe it will be sooner, so that those units shipped for the July 11 release will be pre-loaded ahead of time, which may mean it will be available sooner.

So it doesn't really affect the iPod prices. Of course we'll get a rev at the next 'special event' in September, and all iPod models will get bumps in storage capacity.

Very impressed with the functionality and price points - I will be finally purchasing a 16 GB version next month.
Another month w/ limited iPhone sales will not help the bottom line. Mobile me looks good - a bit disappointed that it was not ready to launch today. High marks that the "enterprise" capabilities are solid - sales will be very robust once all of this is released. As usual - Wall Street is pounding the stock price today - just wait until the full impact of these changes gains traction !!!
