Original Iphone Cannot Do Mms Or Stereo Bluetooth? This Is Pure Bs To Get You To Buy A New Phone
I WANT TO THANK ARN-MACRUMORS!
This text simplification of the event was actually better than watching it on other sites because I had to flip through pages of photos and blather if I stepped away for a few minutes.
This was excellent.

they are over here, where I can buy an iPhone outright and choose whatever carrier I want.
C&P, MMS, landscape email/text, push notification, text forwarding, stereo bluetooth, note syncing... wow. They really listened. 3.0 is an absolute home run. Oh, and the ESPN app looks amazing.
(and guess I'll be getting the new iphone to replace my gen 1 so I can use all the new features)
I'm not sure that "doing stuff it ought to have done from day 1 (or at least 2.0)" qualifies it as a "home run." They're just now officially "not behind" on the feature list. It's nice, and I'm glad this stuff is coming, but let's make no mistaketwo years for a basic function like copy and paste is outright absurd, and they ought to be embarrassed.
He said tethering 'in the client side' whatever that means.
I fear he means that the iphone will be able to connect to a PC but a PC (or in my case satnav) won't be able to use the iphone as a modem.
That is a big concession from the last time that question was asked and Jobs answered flatly that Flash is not an option. Sounds like they are working on it and it may be one of those "surprises" we get when the next iPhone ships.
It shouldn't, and doesn't. My moms FREE phone from AT&T does picture messaging. My first gen LG Chocolate phone did picture messaging. I have no idea why the iPhone can't.
Even though copy+paste is a big deal and I've been waiting for it, there aren't any other groundbreaking new features that I feel make 3.0 worth the risk (crashes, incompatible apps, etc). And as an ipod touch 2G user, paying $10 for copy+paste isn't really worth it. +no flash means I'd rather wait.
Neither should the A2DP. The iBluetoothProject guys already determined that the 2G supports that fine. It's bet it's just to force people to upgrade.
I'm an ADC Member. When the Free SDK is available you should be able to download it. The SDK isn't going through ADC. It's through the iPhone Dev Program.
I think we all know this release is probably going to coincide with a new iPhone release in June/July...
Talking about BT P2P
"David Chartier: Second gen iPod touch can get some of that functionality unlocked, Joswiak says."
iPod Touch has a BT chip !?!

No video recording
But generally good update. I hope they will bring iChat AV with front camera in iPhone 3.0. They obviously couldn't say anything about iChat and video recording because that would be indication for hardware changes so in other words new iPhone out soon. I hope I am sooooo right on this one.

But you are required to get the internet access with the iPhone that you may not of had on another phone, because you pay this extra $30 a month to own an iPhone it would be unfair to iPhone owners to charge them, when its already costing them so much. I am not saying its fair to charge iPod touch owners for these system upgrades, I think its stupid not to make them standard because it means you have a bunch of people with older OS's out there, but I understand that if someone is working on a new version of a mobile operating system it does take money and time. And really $10 is a decent price for a Mobile OS upgrade.
This upgrade is going to be nice....
Wait.....What was that sound.....
Oh that was just the demand for first GEN iPhones on E-bay falling through the floor... if you have one and want to sell it you better do it now because in a few months everyone will know that some features will not work on that phone.....
I don't think so. Absolute unlock? Not totally guaranteed on an iPhone 3G and won't be on the next iPhone until it's hacked.
