But first, the wait is on for the iPhone 3.0 release time. No one knows the exact time when Apple will release the new 3.0 software. The best estimates are that it will be posted between noon and 2 p.m. today.
When the iPhone 3.0 release time comes, the actual software that goes up will allow users to get even more extra features. They can have an easier time typing, copying and pasting text, as well as receive a spotlight search, enhanced stock applications, and voice memos.
Apple users will have two days after the iPhone 3.0 release time to play with these new gadgets, before they go on their next extended wait. This one will be for the iPhone 3G S, the newest version that will increase speed by at least 2 times over.
The newest iPhone will be in stores Friday, giving Apple devotees the chance to stand around and wait in stores, instead of standing around their laptops.
This year, Twitter has become the hot new communication and Internet commodity. However, it was the iPhone, and other i technology from Apple, that broke the mold as the biggest toy for Web users. Now, Apple is catching up to Twitter by putting out new iPhone stuff and stealing Internet buzz back, whether it is 140 characters long or not.
However, buzz over a new iPhone and changes to it are not new. In fact, Apple seems to do it pretty much every year. The original iPhone was first distributed in the U.S. just two years ago, almost to the day. Since then, they've put out a few more versions in just two years time, making the original all but a relic from an ancient age.
Apple devotees may wait with baited breath for the iPhone 3.0 release time, and for the new 3G S on Friday. But come next year, the new software and 3G S will be lucky if they aren't thrown out and discarded while the hype builds up for the inevitable iPhone 4.0.

Post a CommentI waited for this crap, nothing to brag about!!! I say whoopie
I downloaded and all seems fine, I thought we were going to have cut, copy & paste? I only have copy & paste.
I uograded, everything seems fine, I only have a copy, paste option. I thought we were going to have a cut option to?
I just downloaded 3.0 at 13:08 EST in Ohio. Working beautifully. Landscape email & copy/paste works.
Fuck em' mine crashed
anyone know the build number for the download?
finally the OS 3 has come and downloading it as i type. can't wait to see the benefits of the new features.
Not really alot of "new features"
i started downloading it at 12:30 in boaz, AL
Took a while to download -- about 20 mins! -- and so far no trouble. It really isn't that thrilling unless you live for cut/paste or landscape keyboards.
Its nice that you can text/send a contact's info. Not sure how the MMS will be as it does not work till later this summer.
