Insanely aggressive development of the underlying WebKit browser engine in the run-up to iPhone 3.0's release gifted mobile Safari with a turbocharged JavaScript interpreter, embedded streaming video and audio support, and a 97 out of 100 score on the Acid3 browser compatibility test, making iPhone the premier device for mobile Web applications.

The aforementioned Safari browser got a great deal of love in iPhone 3.0. Undo takes advantage of iPhone 3.0's new shake gesture. In every built-in and third-party app I've tried, it works.

Of course it works with text, but you can send someone an image, or a block of formatted HTML plus an image, from a Web site just by copying it out of Safari and pasting it in an e-mail message. When I say "global," I mean that the functionality has been added at the framework/API level, so all iPhone apps not only inherit the pop-up toolbar that makes drag-selecting text and graphics a cinch, they share a single system-wide pasteboard with other apps. Heading off the list of changes is global support for cut, copy, paste, and undo.

It almost got past me what a huge day June 17 is going to be for that vast majority of iPhone owners who are currently running a 2.x OS.ģ.0 is the charmNo matter what kind of mobile device you're carrying, you've never seen a firmware update like iPhone 3.0. It seems like all the iPhone users I know are in the iPhone Developer Program and already running the iPhone 3.0 beta (now, gold master), so I've been treating the new OS as if it's already shipped. If you have an iPod Touch, any model, it's $9.95. If you have an iPhone, any model, iPhone 3.0 is free. Your device will reboot with an extraordinary set of new features. iTunes will detect the update, back up your device, download the iPhone 3.0 OS, copy the OS to your device's flash memory, and restore your data and apps.

Just use your USB cable to connect your iPhone or iPod Touch to your Mac or PC after June 17. It will be delivered as an operating system update for owners of all models of iPhone, iPhone 3G, and iPod Touch. IPhone 3.0 is a new feature bonanza that requires no new hardware. I'll do my best to address these questions. Some people are wondering what iPhone 3.0 is, what the iPhone 3G S has that the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3.0 don't, whether the original iPhone 3G is still worth buying, and whether owners of the existing iPhone 3G should upgrade. The reach of Apple's OS update is unprecedented, and the fact that it overlaps with the release of a new handset creates some confusion. I say that Apple will set a record in new phone shipments because iPhone 3.0 creates an entirely new platform on every existing device updated to use it.

Meanwhile, the original 8GB iPhone 3G will continue to be sold for the giveaway price of $99. And on June 19, Apple will start selling the iPhone 3G S, a faster iPhone 3G with longer battery life, an autofocus camcorder, a compass, and other goodies. On June 17, owners of all models of iPhone and iPod Touch will be able to download the iPhone 3.0 update through iTunes. On June 8, paid members of Apple's iPhone Developer Program were given access to the GM (gold master) of iPhone 3.0 firmware, along with a matching version of the iPhone SDK. Over the course of two weeks in June, Apple will deliver more new phones than any mobile handset manufacturer in history.
