The iPhone OS keeps getting better and better!

Hoy Apple tuvo un evento para mostrarnos las genialidades que nos traerá el nuevo sistema de operación que usa el iPhone y el iPod touch.

¡Wow! It looks very promising not to mention very cool! Yeah, I know, I have a soft spot for these things! 😉

Apple blew past its self-imposed goal of selling 10M iPhones in 2008 — The company sold 13.7M. There are a total of 17M in use thus far.

When you count the number of iPod touches in that mix, there are over 30 million Apple multi-touch handhelds in use

There have been 800,000 downloads of the iPhone SDK over the past year, 50,000 companies in the iPhone dev program (80% of which have never developed a piece of software for a mobile device before).

25,000 Apps on the App Store thus far…

In total, there have been over 800 million Apps downloaded to date.

Push Notification features: Can push badges, text, and sounds. Apple is customizing Push Notification for all 80 countries where the iPhone is available, making sure its optimized across all applicable mobile networks.

Other new open APIs include iPod Library access, the proximity sensor, audio recorder, the battery API, data detectors, text-selection, and more.

JD Power ranked the iPhone #1 for customer satisfaction for business smartphone users.

ESPN is taking their web app native with iPhone 3.0

Now, finally, onto the customer side. It has more than 100 new features. Cut, Copy and Paste is FINALLY Here!

You can shake the iPhone/iPod touch to Undo paste.

Cocoa Touch controls have support for copy/paste built in. “Next… landscape. We always had support for landscape built in. This is great for reading stories. A lot of users love that landscape keyboard. We’re now taking that to all of our key apps. Starting with Mail.”

Messages includes MMS Support. You can send files such as contact cards, audio files, locations, pictures, etc.

Voice Memos. You can record voice memos to yourself, lectures, interviews using the built in microphone or an external microphone. You can trim it using the phone itself, then send it on using email or MMS.

About the new expanded search capability, this is what it was said: “But we didn’t stop there. We thought, wouldn’t it be nice if there was a single location you go to search all of these. That’s what we did. We created a new home screen to do this. We call it Spotlight.”

“So, iPhone 3.0. We are so excited about this. In-app purchase, peer to peer, accessories, Maps, push notifications, cut/copy/paste, landscape, messages, Voice Memos, Calendar with support for CalDAV, new Stock app, Search, and Spotlight.”
