iPhone OS 3 due June 17th

Also just announced at the WWDC, iPhone/iPod Touch OS version 3 will be released on 17th June. As before, this is a free upgrade for iPhone users and a paid ($9.99) upgrade for iPod Touch owners. Most of the changes have been covered in depth before, but include:

• Cut, Copy, Paste and Undo across all apps
• Landscape screen support in key Apple apps
• MMS support for some carriers
• Spotlight search for anything on the iPhone
• Rent/Buy video content through iTunes
• Tethering, share the mobile connection with a computer. Not all carriers are offering this.
• Faster Safari Browser with Autofill
• More than 30 languages supported
• ‘Find my iPhone’ tracking and remote erase through Mobile Me

This update should please a lot of iPhone users complaining the lack of basic functionality, especially when the Palm Pre looks to have got a lot right with its first release.
