We just got the announcement, iPhone OS 3.0 is coming. Set your clocks, mark your calendars. It's going down March 17th. Apparently, we'll get a sneak peak at the new OS, as well as a look at a brand new version of the SDK. Exciting stuff indeed, and we'll be there live at 10am PST (1pm EST) with the liveblog. Apple's calling this an "advance preview of what we're building," so we're not expecting anything ready to go as of the 17th, but hopefully this will allow developers to start building toward future functionality (hey, how about some push notifications?), and presumably users won't have too many months to wait after that for the real deal.

Typical, just as the iPod 2G gets an un-tethered jailbreak
Ooooh can't wait

Eh, I hope they don't do my iPhone like they did my Zune...

The original OS worked fine and then they did some fancy schmancy update and while it looked cooler it crashed a lot more too.

It's probably going to be stability updates and some other tweaks.

My predictions:
  • Push notifications.
  • Turn-by-turn navigation.
  • Wireless sync of contacts and calendars and email and other misc. stuff.
  • Copy and paste.
Well, that and a bunch of developer specific stuff.

I already use the Google Maps thing a lot in the back roads around here. I am not afraid of shortcuts now that I have an iPhone
If they do add Turn by Turn they I hope they add an option to turn it off. I hate being told where to turn when I can read the damn map just fine.

It cant be any worse than when 2.0 first came out. That was just horrid. I am like really regretting my Storm purchase now... stupid POS.

I would also like to see is when on the net and you click on a link it opens it in a new web page and not the same. That would be great.

This is really what I want most. The lack of it really cripples the potential convenience of apps like AIM, Facebook, Twitter apps, etc.

What are the chances you'll finally be able to use your own background with the new 3.0 OS? I hate nothing more than being forced to use a black background (on the screen with the icons).
I heard a lot of good things about OS 3 for iPhone. Many updates and bug fixes and speed improvements and features added,, good stuff,,
