What's New in iPhone 3.0

Finally the long-waiting iPhone 3.0 released on 17 June as planned by Apple. I was among those who downloaded and installed this firmware at the moment it released. Now after few days working with it, here is the features of it:

• The very cool feature of it is Searchability, You can now search the whole device in a seconds. The fist page of application list is a search page, which you can start typing the narrow the search result as you type. It searches in Emails, Notes, Contact lists, iPod Music & Videos,... plus you can prioritize the result. You have this search functionality in all applications too.
• Vertical keyboard is now available in Notes, Email, Text messaging and Safari, Previously it was only available in Safari.
• More languages are now supported, including Arabic and Persian (Which is my language). Although Persian is a complete language, but it's a subset of Arabic in iPhone 3.0. The big problem is when you type in Persian in big paragraph, typing becomes very slow.
• The Stock application is now has more features including news about each stock.
• You can record your sound with a very high quility. Note that you cannot record sounds in a on going call.
• Very stable Safari, with ability to open links in a new page.
• Copy/Past feature that I'm sure many people waited for it from version 1.0. You can copy past almost from anyware, including Notes, Email, Text Messages and Safari.
• Much faster startup time when you turn on your device.
• In camera, a thumbnail of the last taken picture will be shown in the left bottom cornet, tapping on it, shows the library.
• The limit for application pages is now 11 pages, previously 9 pages.
• Now all applications support PUSH technology. It's like a background functionality somehow. It means your applications can receive notifications even when they are not running.
• Shaking your device in iPod shuffle the playlist.
• Some other minor changes and bug fixes.

Unfortunately, Until now, there is not QuickPwn 3.0 to jailbreak it. There is a tools for Mac users called PwnageTool for this though.
