[NPMUG] Cut, Copy, Paste ..... and Spotlight Search ... now on the iPhone with the 3.0 upgrade

[Dave Sevick]

Many new features are in the excellent demo given by Apple's Scott  
Forstall and team ....

Two absolutely key features :

Copy, Cut, Paste

Spotlight Search

These are most worth trumpeting to any Blackberry, Palm  or other  
smart-phone competitor first thing tomorrow.

Other announcements that are very cool :

MMS - Multi-Media Messaging of text, photos, audio, and map locations

Bluetooth Peer to Peer sharing - so you can now "beam" your business  
card and much more to colleagues in the same room, no WiFi required.

Push Notifications - so you won't need to have apps open to get  
updates, this saving battery life by visual or sound badges letting  
you know you have data waiting.

Landscape Keyboard - in most apps like Mail, Notes, SMS ....

Turn by Turn GPS - API's now available for Garmin, TomTom and others  
to go on to develop next generation  satellite + cell phone better GPS  
devices.

In App purchasing - now you can just buy things inside apps, without  
having to go back to the App Store.
