It’s not like I haven’t already been using the 3.0 software already (ahem Torrents), but Apple has finally after I think 6 or so “betas”, released the official 3.0 software (that I am downloading as I type this).

The best features of this update have got to be landscape keyboard  for email/sms/web/notes.  And cut/copy + paste.  Which just about all the Iphone/Ipod touch users have been BEGGING for since the release.

Now I stood in line for 3hrs on release day back in 2006 to get my 1st gen Iphone (for $600.00) and upgraded to the 3G model about a month ago (for $199.00).  Now Apple goes and releases the Iphone 3G “s” (for speed) and lowers the price of the 3G to $99.00 (yeah eff you too Apple).  I managed to sell my original Iphone to a friend for $100.00 so I guess (including the $100.00 gift card from Apple) have spent about $600.00 total on my 2 phones.  So NO, I will not be buying a 3Gs untill either my 3G dies or gets stolen.  Apps load just fine for me on my 3G.

Now if Apple could only figure out how to get REAL FLASH SUPPORT on the Iphone I would be happy. Cmon guys, its been 3 years, I’m sure you and Adobe can figure out something already.

Well I’m off to install my new software, note to other Iphone users, make sure you create a backup of your existing Iphone before updating any software.  I guess I will be Jailbreaking it again! Head on over to www.quickpwn.com for all the jailbreaking goodness you can handle.
