iPhone 3.0 Release Time

iPhone 3.0 Release Time

When will iPhone 3.0 be available? Any minute now it would seem.

Sources seem to indicate that “OS 3.0 can release anytime between 1700 and 1930 in London or between 12:00pm and 2:30pm ET.”  Why all the secrecy?  Well, it’s likely an attempt to keep Apple’s servers from crashing.

One of the biggest new features we’re looking forward to is the new, landscape-style messaging  keyboard.

“Messages” is the new SMS, and it’s been renamed to signify the addition of MMS (multi-media messaging service). It allows, in the case of the new iPhone OS 3.0 software, for you to receive vCards (or contacts), audio, location, and — for iPhone 3G S only — video to be sent using the Messages interface to any other smartphone or feature-phone that supports MMS and those file types.

Once you receive an MMS, you can tap the icon in the message bubble to get a better look at it. In the case of a contact, you’ll see a page similar to what you get when you call up a contact in Phone, except at the very bottom you’ll have extra, saving and sharing related options that we’ll cover later in the Phone app section.

There are lots more exciting features coming with iPhone 3.0.  You can read about them here.

In the meantime, be patient.  Good things come to those who wait!

The much awaited iPhone Os 3.0 Software update will be released on June 17, 2009. There is no word on what time it will be available. The iPhone OS 3.0 can be downloaded for free by existing iphone users. However, for iPod touch owners, it will cost them $9.95 (not too bad).

This new iphone os 3.0 would enable some great features for the iphone. The new version will enable you to run the next generation iPhone applications like those with peer to peer games.

iPhone fans have been waiting for this release. It has been announced by Apple’s VP, Scott Forstall that the iPhone 3.0 OS will be released sometime today, June 17th but did not disclose the time. I’m sure all iPhone users are anxiously awaiting to download the new version and have stayed connected to their laptops just so they could be the first one to download the software.

I’m hearing between noon and 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time.. but I haven’t seen a confirmation just yet.
