Thanks.. another question. Does it just search your inbox on the server, or all mailboxes?
Locate phone via mobileme
Any idea if this feature is also in the API so those of us who done use MobileMe don't have to pay $99/year for this one feature?
I presume this means some service can be enabled on the iphone when triggered from Me.com to send GPS co-ordinates? Fingers crossed that isn't too hard for someone to crack...

That MobileMe "Find my iPhone/iPod Touch" feature sounds very cool. Would love to see that working.
I would imagine not, it's a way to sell MobileMe and I doubt Apple would be willing to let you use any old service to find your iPhone.

I hope both. I tend to forget where I put stuff so having it beep would help.
As for being stolen, 1st gen. iPhones would have a hard time. Since they don't have GPS, they have to use the Wi-Fi/cell tower triangulation technique which is still pretty awful in some places. I just did at work, and it says I'm in the next town or 2 over.
Thoughts on whether this was an Apple or AT&T decision to not have it this way from the get-go?
Works great so far
So far it is extremely fast. For example I just typed "Bob" in Spotlight and in less than a second it returned all contacts named Bob and all 800 or so Bob Dylan songs on my iPod.
I'm looking forward to seeing the APIs for integrating with it to make my own apps' data searchable.

I am asking myself why apple come out with that "sneak preview" anyway? Its not Apple at all. What was the purpose of this? Kinda strange.
I think they got something much bigger in their sleeve then which is linked directly to OS 3.0...and that will be iPhone 3.0...so new hardware then...fingers crossed...iChat AV then...and obviously video recording.
Its not wishful thinking...it will be fact...well...hope so

MMS Pricing (UK)
I don't know of this may have already been stated.
I am an iPhone 3G user from the UK, I called into my local O2 shop and enquired about how MMS messages will be priced at the release of OS 3.0 (firstly they had no idea what I was talking about and had to phone and ask about it themselfs), apparantally MMS messages will cost the equivilant of 4 SMS messages on top of you current monthly tarrif.
For example I use the £45pm tarrif (1200 min, 500 messages) and I also have the Unlimted Messages Bolt on. So if I was to send a MMS message those 4 messages would be taken out of the origional 500 messages of my contract or I would be charged extra on top of that if I exceed my 500 messages worth. Unfortunatly the MMS messages are not inculded in my 'Unlimited Messages'.

I'm not sure I understand your question. Like I am not a huge IMAP user I don't have like a bunch of folders and things like that. So I don't know if I will be of much help.
I will have to watch the video again, but I think it was stated, that once it is done searching the messages on your phone it then searchs the messages on the server. I think....
nah, I've been enjoying my iphone, and free firmware updates, for nearly 2 years now. It's probably the best single purchase I've ever made. And even now we're getting 90% of the new features, free. Sure, I'd like 100%, but I'd rather focus on the positives.
I am wondering if you can copy text into an password field, like the wifi password. I have had to make my passwords simple for use with the iphone. Additionally the wifi auto-login I hope will be location aware turning on wifi when you get to a certain location an logging you in.
You and me both....... If a new phone comes out in June I will pick that one up. But if it doesn't I will be happy with my first gen phone still...
Look through your gmail sent mail, and then on your iphone, search for something that should show up in your sent mail, and click 'continue search on server', and see if it searches through your sent mail as well.
I just have a couple questions for someone who already installed the beta 3.0 on their iPhone 3G...
Do most applications that were downloaded from AppStore still work properly?
Will I still be able to upgrade to the final version of 3.0 once its out or is it stuck in "Test Mode" forever as it says in the Apple warning?
Do emoji's still work??
Thanks in advance

Pasting passwords
I just tried pasting text into the wifi password field and it works.
Haven't tried the favorites thing yet.

It's the same reason they did the iPhone SDK event last year: developers need time to build applications. All these features in the OS don't amount to much if developers don't have apps that take advantage of them. So no, it's not at all strange. We're just used to Apple being so secretive about new hardware products, it's easy to forget that they can't apply that same kind of secrecy to software releases that need third-party involvement.
Same. I was planning to get the new one even before yesterday's announcements, but this just makes it a little bit easier to justify.
