#iphone 3.0

Took me some time to update my iPhone 3G after downloading the new iPhone OS 3.0 because the verification servers are down or unavailable (obviously due to the millions of iPhone owners checking in). With the number of new features and applications included in version 3.0, I got a couple of favorites that I found really useful. The other is Internet Tethering that allows you to share internet (via USB or Bluetooth) on your iPhone to your laptop or PC (can be found at Settings -> General -> Network -> Internet Tethering). With the upcoming release of the iPhone 3.0 OS, the Apple iPhone is slowly becoming more and more like a regular phone. Gone are the jabs that it doesn't do MMS and copy-and-paste -- all that will become available in the 3.0 version this summer. And while it's a bit ironic that iPhone users are ecstatic about these new functionalities that should have been there in the first place, it becomes clear where Apple focusing when it planned for the iPhone -- that it's more of an internet device with a phone functionality rather than a phone that has internet connectivity.
