Cutting right to the chase the new iPhone firmware 3.0 set to hit itunes this summer looks to be far better than expected. Packing over 100 new features and tons more for the developers. Here's the rundown of some of the key features.
• COPY AND PASTE :: You double tap on a piece of text and it will automatically places bubble above it with the option to cut, copy or paste the current selection. To bring up the paste option, you just have to double tap again. To make a bigger selection of text, double tap and then drag where you’d like the text to end. You can also drag this text around. To undo a paste, just shake your phone!
- You can now send more than one photo by copying and pasting them into the Mail app.
- 3.0 unlocks Bluetooth in 2g iPod touches and allows for wireless Bluetooth peer to peer connections for things like gaming file sharing and more.
- Use landscape (wide keyboard mode) in applications SMS, notepad, mail etc.

- New 1st party app Voice memos which allows you to record edit, share and email directly from the app
- New calendar support :: gcal Subscriptions, .ics format, exchange
- Stock app added news and more details.
- Search in Mail as well as other applications: Contacts, notes, calendar, iPod

• Push notification for apps — Alerts appear like SMS, badges show up on the app icon, and audio alerts will be heard in the background. The battery life is said to only decrease by 23% while on other devices using background processes killed the battery life 80% (my favorite addition)
