but for say, can a JB iphone update to firmware 3.0?

You can, but your phone will either stay locked and your jailbreaked apps or hacks will be gone.

oh then i guess will have to wait for iphone dev team to crack it

Kevin Rose leaked some information about iPhone OS 3.0 during the live Diggnation show at SXSW in Austin last night.

According to Gizmodo, Rose revealed the following information:
- Cut and paste in 3.0
- Users magnify or double tap a word to bring up cut and paste
- Pinch "boundaries" to select word(s); Rose called them "copy boundaries"
- Then you get option to cut, paste or copy

Also, the 3.0 update will have enough new features and additions to bring it up to the Palm Pre levels. Whatever Palm Pre has shown us so far, apparently, the iPhone will have too when 3.0 becomes official. That point remains a bit hazy right now

Rose also said that MMS and video recording would not be present in this release nor will background processes be allowed.



No MMS,No Bluetooth,No Video Recording

Its Da Day ya'll!!! hohoho...... hope most of our dream will come true with this upgrade!

Please oh please.... A2DP and cut & paste.... *crossing fingers*

mm today is the day just to preview 3.0 features.
1st maybe you will see copy and paste and some new features. and few more months they will add more features?

They will release the 3.0 maybe at June/July 2009.

*cross fingers*
