its been
known for almost a year that tomtom have a working version of their software on the iphone, but previous Apple rules prevented it being released
now that Apple have relaxed this rules, I would expect them to be one of the first in line to release their software

Looks like there's lots of good things to come in 3.0. Makes me wonder what the next handset will look like

will still jailbreak though: video, background apps, today screen etc etc

This OS update got me thinking about what will apple do for the next iphone version. It seems they´ve ´completed´ the current platform by adding pretty much all that should´ve been there since the beginning plus a couple of new things. What will they have for iphone ´4G´ that will make people buy it instead of just upgrading their 3G devices?
Another interesting thing is how smart apple was. They added little by little features that were considered crucial and managed to sell 17m iphones before actually releasing the full OS version. Why release the full package if I can release a basic one and keep it alive for 2 years with software updates?

your thoughts are very valid, and certainly this is what has kept some people away.
but I can, and always have, seen their logic in excluding certain features in their first o/s while they provide a dual path from their music/video only devices to their phone and multi media devices
now that they have established themselves with both fans of their audio devices and new people who have taken the time to spend time with the iphone and ipod touch and come to love it, rather than those who simply dismiss it on features or after a few hours use, its good that Apple are now advancing to meet industry standards and I fully expect they will start to lead the way in areas that they already have not covered (interface, integrated capabilities etc)
lets call it "coming of age"

I think that with OS 3.0 Apple is really trying to expand marketshare even further, rather than pleasing existing customers or even innovate substantily. This OS comes mainly to adress shortcomings that might´ve kept people from buying iphones such as landscape keyboard through out the OS and MMS for example. Apple in it´s minimalistic design didn´t seem to think a ´landscape´ mode was necessary in all apps but now they are offering it because it will probably please new customers; or MMS which is in the end of the day a very ´low´ way of sharing photos, even lower considering the iphone came with a very advanced mail app in terms of graphics and layout. It made sense not to include MMS to propel email. But the´ve added MMS now... again I guess for marketshare reasons.
I´m not saying OS 3.0 is not good, quite the contrary, it´s VERY welcome! However I miss a bit the part where apple innovated and cared more about doing new things rather than ´pleasing market standards and etc´, like they did for example with the app store model and the UI.

Heres the page for the new OS. Hit the quicktime link in there to watch the keynote. I think it´s worth it! I´m excited about 3.0. If only they´ve improved the hardware and the battery too a bit to support more complex games/apps and background processes for app store apps, the iphone OS 3.0 would be the dream phone!

I think the most impressive stuff will come from 3rd parties, when they start using all the new APIs
