Apple’s iPhone OS 3.0 Software Preview Today
Apple’s iPhone OS 3.0 Software Preview Today – This morning, Apple unveiled plans for their new iPhone OS 3.0 software. In their invitation to select members of the media and others, Apple said: “Get an advance preview of what we’re building…to learn about the new (third-party software development kit) and get a sneak peek at the iPhone OS 3.0 software.”
Functions such as the ability to copy and paste text has been widely requested and is expected to be a part of the new software features. Kevin Rose, the founder of Digg, claims to have confirmation of the unveiling of this feature – “To select text, users would double-tap on a word to bring up the iPhone’s magnifying glass and then extend the ‘quotes’ to cover the necessary text and perform the relevant action, though it’s not known whether this would be limited to copying and pasting or would include cutting text outright.”

Rose also hinted that since the iPhone 2.0 software, which was released in July of last year, many of the software efforts will equate the device to the Palm Pre which has a number of software advantages over Apple’s platform, though unreleased. The Pre allows users to tap a button to switch apps and lets owners launch apps without quitting the active program.
