Gallery, Video and Notes on iPhone OS 3.0
Image from iLounge
iLounge and AppleInsider have posted good screenshot galleries of the new iPhone 3.0 operating system that was seeded to developers yesterday. Other collections include Engadget, Boy Genius Report, and MobileCrunch.
A few notes from the different galleries:
- Spotlight (search) is said to work well
- SMS messages are sent in the background, which means you can type a new message while the old one is sending
- Notes can be used in landscape
- "Find my iPhone/iPod Touch" option available under MobileMe, which presumably allows you to locate your iPhone from Me.com
- Backups of your iPhone or iPod Touch can be encrypted in iTunes
- Notes will sync
The QuickTime stream for yesterday's event demonstrates many of the new features found in iPhone 3.0. The 3.0 firmware will be available to end-users this summer.
Update: Video of someone demonstrating iPhone 3.0.

Notes sync, yes!
The encryption will help get this adopted across enterprises too.

Find my iPod?
I wonder if this is more like "it was stolen, what city is it in?" or more like "it's somewhere in the house, please make my iPod beep!"
I'd think the second option would be more useful, personally.

I can't wait for this update for a lot of reasons, but the one thing that gives me pause is the addition of a spotlight tool. I can see how this might end up being very sluggish on the current hardware. I'd really like to hear more from developers as to how this was implemented and whether or not the system resources handle it well.

Yeh, it's good. It was there since the beginning, just hidden.

Looks fantastic. SMS is what it should always have been like.
Except that SMS doesn't work on the first gen. iPhone. To me, that's incredibly disappointing. It seems like Apple is trying to make it so a person has to switch to a iPhone 3G in order to get all of the features the phone should have had years ago. Overall, still a good update though.

Can you cancel a SMS/MMS while it is being sent?
What about notes (and to-do) syncing over MobileMe into iCal and Mail?

So I have to ask...
Notes will sync, alright.
To what though? A new App in iTunes, Notes on the Mac, the notes Widget??
