I'll bet that I can send and recieve MMS right now with my current iPhone using SwirlyMMS.
Landscape typing everywhere... that's all I wanted! I'll be getting one in June or July assuming they figure out how to jailbreak 3.0 so I can use it with t-mobile.
I personally am interested in syncing music over wifi, preferably automatically on a schedule. What I want to do is have an iPod touch that permanently stays in my car, and have it automatically sync with iTunes shortly before I leave for work every day. I bet something like that might be possible with a jailbroken iPod touch.
I wish Apple would make a car stereo
$9.95 upgrade for all iPod touch users
You're kidding, right? Honestly? Less than $10 for what is a very significant feature and functionality update. Get a grip.
Some really great features, I can't think of anything other than flash that I was expecting to eventually come to the iPhone.
With the peer to peer connection does that mean that would allow for (If someone created it) printing from the iPhone to a home network printer? If so SWEET~! If not...awwww....

I also want to know what device has every single feature available to mankind, it sure ain't the Pre.
Most probably not! More likely: AT&T's 3G network can't handle too much traffic, therefore tethering has been forbidden in the US. Apple did not care about other markets (which have much more advanced mobile networks) so there is no tethering support until now. Now they are terribly late with tethering support so why not blame the carriers
.
You mean unlock, not jailbreak and AFAIK they still haven't found how to unlock the iPhone 3G unless they have and are holding off on releasing it until the new iPhone comes out like they were planning to do with the iPod Touch 2nd Gen untethered jailbreak.
Really? So if you were to have a few million more people tethered at once on the network your saying that the carrier would have to do nothing because their infastructure will handle it fine?
The 3G was already reported to force carriers to update simply because of the loads from people browsing, what do you think will happen when even more come flooding in?
If the carrier isn't ready, they aren't ready. Id much rather wait then have crappy service.
The iPhone was one of the few phones that didn't support MMS. 3G is not required at all. Basic flip phones can even send a picture message.
I've been p**sed off by DLC for a few years now, especially in console games where these big publishers sell you an unfinished £50 game and then expect another £5 to unlock the rest of it. Thats pretty weak and I'm never going to pay for that.
But if a game cost £5 already and they're going to sell DLC for a couple of extra quid then, that doesn't sound so bad. So long as they don't go ridiculous and stop releasing full games because they could always charge for the rest later (poor, poor practice).
Big thumbs up to everything else though. I don't see any point in MMS now we have rich email on the go, but copy/paste, turn by turn GPS, spotlight is a huge plus. I hope that works with the photo library too.
So Push Notifications work how? You run the app on your phone but when you close it the app carries on running on a server somewhere, and when something "new" occurs in the app it sends a notification to your phone? That sounds kind of cumbersome so it can't be right.

Really interested in the Bluetooth and accessories AND STEREO bluetooth.
This opens up a whole new world for the iPhone in the car IMO.
I hate the in-app spam though. I hope we can turn it off, or I'll be buying apps from those that don't have that. It will annoy me. Yet, I have faith that Apple won't let anyone annoy me. I'll withhold judgement.

Darn well better be. This was one weak update for us consumers.
Is it too much to ask for Apple to flat out copy the Pre feature-wise? I mean Palm copied Apple with multi-touch and the like.
They did say no to background processes though, didn't they? Please change that, it's the most attractive part of the Pre. GIVE UA MULTI-TASKING!
Lets compare the Pre and the iPhone side by side... oh wait.. the Pre isn't out yet....
Go away troll...
Having a PS3 Controller in the App Store...
Oh that would be brilliant indeed! Come in Sony, release an app for it... (AS IF!!)... Sigh...

Data is data is data. There's no difference from 2GB of data usage on your iPhone from 2GB of data usage from tethering. Why should AT&T care how we use that data? Because they want to charge us for it, simple as that.

1st: Let's see how well background multitasking works on a real Pre, in real life, with 3rd party apps FIRST.
2nd: The Pre has a MUCH, MUCH faster processor and more RAM. You can bet iPhone 3.0 (the hardware) will also and perhaps that will be a feature (true multitasking for 3rd party apps) in future hardware revisions but it appears it is IMPOSSIBLE for 1st/2nd gen hardware without too many sacrifices.
No.
Tethering will never be "officially" free in the US. You can guarantee that. I don't care what Europe does. For any foreseeable future, tethering will incur a cost.
Soooooo, the iPhone is capable, when will AT&T officially allow it?
1. Apple runs a central Notification server that services push messages to, which in turn are pushed to your phone.
2. A Notification service, as part of the iPhone's OS, always running, receives the notification, which includes the name of the app and the type of notification.
3. The notification is displayed as a badge on the app's icon, text messages, or played as a sound.
The individual apps on your phone don't have to be running for this to happen. Not cumbersome at all.
