iPhone OS 3.0 Update Thoughts

Posted by Paul Colligan on Tuesday, March 17, 2009

The iPhone has done amazing things for new media. They’re updating it to 3.0. Here are my thoughts as seen through the lens of Engadget and Crunchgear.

  • 13.7 million iPhones sold. Now that’s a market.
  • 25k apps and 800 million downloads from the store. Boooooyah.
  • Subscriptions coming. Told you. It is the model of the future.
  • Inside application ecommerce for the everyman. I thought it was going to be in iTunes – but even better here! You bet we’ll get that talking to Premiumcast.
  • Push notification. Dave, your Podcast is ready?
  • Hardware talks to iPhone. A true “portable” studio?
  • Cut and paste. Nice, but never was a deal killer for me.
  • MMS. About time. Always loved explaining to my friends with free phones why they can’t send pictures to my iPhone.
  • NO TETHERING. Bummer
  • Summer release. To be expected.

And, yes, we’ll be discussing these issues in Podcast Secrets 2009.

    Kinda cool. Excited to see what the subscription model can do in the app. store. Not so jazzed about the cut/paste feature as I am already addicted to Evernote.

    I’m more excited about the new announcement of the upcoming “Google Voice”, but if they time the 3.0 iPhone software updte with some new hardware… then we’re really talking about some serious power.
