Apple announces iPhone OS 3.0, the iPhone OS that was supposed to be in iPhone in the first place.

Here are some of the features we can expect in iPhone OS 3.0:

In-App Purchase
Peer to peer connectivity
Custom apps that talk directly to that hardware
Turn by turn navigation
Push notification
Cut, copy, and paste
Landscape mode for most core apps
MMS
Voice Memos
CalDAV calendar and .ics subscription support
Spotlight
Note Sync
Auto-fill
YouTube accounts
Stereo Bluetooth via A2DP
WiFi autologin
Tethering support

I think lots of paid jailbreak apps like SwirlyMMS and biteSMS might have to developed new apps. Say good bye to SwirlyMMS, biteSMS and QuickGold!

The iPhone OS 3.0 update will be available for free for iPhone and iPhone 3G users. MMS and Stereo Bluetooth will not be available for iPhone users due to hardware differences. For iPod Touch and iPod Touch 2nd Generation users, you will have to fork out USD$9.95 for it.

“MMS and Stereo Bluetooth will not be available for iPhone users due to hardware differences”
You mean the iPhone before the 3G one?

Apple has always had very polished user interfaces, so it cracks me up that it took until 3.0 for copy and paste functionality to work.

@Artem: Yeap
@ShustOne: Yea! All these features are meant to be in the first version and not the third version!
