Here is the 3.0 announcement

On March 17, Apple presented the blueprint for iPhone OS 3.0, the next version of the world’s most advanced mobile platform.

Now maybe we won't see iPhone whiners invading almost every Mac comment on the Web whining about copy & paste. Now bring on the original iPhone no MMS, BlueTooth whining.

When OS 3.0 appears for end-users, the original iPhone will already be two generations behind the newest iPhone generation, I guess. I don't expect much whining here. However:

- Apple doesn't let me use my iPhone 3G in tethered mode right now. I can use my Orange Switzerland SIM card with iPhone contract without a hitch in my Nokia phones, though, so it's not a provider problem.
- Orange Switzerland has no support for Visual Voicemail, a feature that has been widely advertised by Apple.

Those are the things that get on my nerves. Oh, and: I'm veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery happy that iPhone finally gets soooooooo smart that I can search its contents. Woohoo. Welcome to the smartphone crowd. Now let's hope that this time, background push notification will actually appear. It's been a long time coming.

Well 3.0 will have tethering as long as the cell carriers allow it.

I miss search more than ever, now that I know it's coming. ... I think I'm going to have to become an iPhone developer now...
