iPhone OS 3.0
New developer APIs, so even better apps on the way, including turn-by-turn navigation support for mapping applications. Actual satnav anyone?
 For the consumer:
This is quite a big update from Apple and was desperately needed IMO, but, they've actually gone and added what was called for so that's good. Cost to all iPhone owners? Nothing, totally free.  Although iPhone 2G won't get MMS or sBluetooth.To iPod Touch? $9.95, bit gay, but for the Touch I suppose it's more of an upgrade rather than a necessary update. When? "This summer"

I don't get how they can charge $10 for the Touch when it's only adding a couple of extra bits. If they charged for the iPhone I could understand as it's a lot of big features.. but not much for the touch..

Looking forward to seeing how this pans out once implemented
Not really bothered about MMS or sBlutooth, but C&P, SMS stuff, landscape KB and searching should all improve on the goodness of the iPhone...

That smacks of bull**** to me because if that was truly the reason, they would be selling it for 1c or 1p and that'd be it, just to satisfy the law. $10 is just an excuse to make more profit from the Touch because they don't get contract money from it.

It's an American accounting law, they have to charge for the upgrade to the iPod Touch because it adds extra functionability. I also believe it has to be a 'reasonable' figure. Go ask Mr. Sarbanes and Mr. Oxley if you want all the details.
This upgrade is really welcome and I'm looking forward to it.
