Sorry mate. You're not on the right spot. He was answering to a question on Voice Control, not Cut and Copy. Do read who he quoted.

Cheers

The answer is No. We don't know if there's gonna be a conference or a launch. When there's one, we will inform everyone here.

Dammit! I thought that the latest OS v3 can be updated today since the release of the s series, I anxiously connect my iphone to itunes and do a "check for update" but got the normal message "This version of the iPhone software (2.2.1) is the current version".

Well it seems we all have to wait some more.

Anyway, i dun think Iphone 3GS is that attaractive to me, as i am iphone 3G user. Although i am technology follow up person, a new hardware is temp me to buy it, but due to the usage for me now, and also the new features that not really used by me.

Few upgrade really i like such as, video cam recording and auto focus as well the voice control. but the 3MP camera is such a let down for me, although is within my expectation but i do hope they upgrade to 5MP with Flash >.> because the 32GB storage where i expecting to come out next year, apple do it now.

As conclusion, i still say it a good new iphone but IMHO it not worth to upgrade if you not ultilize the new features.

Some First impression by those who tried iPhone 3GS. (by www.spaziocellulare.com)

Camera
It's one of the innovations that have most impressed the journalists. They have created a much more sophisticated software but the hardware is completely different. In terms of quality the camera is really ahead. Apple has shown the photos printed with a standard inkjet and photos taken with the iPhone 3Gs were fully comply with those taken with the camera of average quality standard, and far superior to those taken with other 5 megapixel phones.

The best camera is the autofocus and innovation method for manual focus. Just put the subject you want and we will be able to click on screen to decide whether to focus on the background or the person who is in the foreground! The camera will adjust the brightness in an automatic and does not lack even the macro feature for close-ups photos.

Video
The new camera is able to work very well even in poor lighting. The video takes place in quality VGA (640 × 480 pixels) at 30 frames per second and produces files in H.264. Saurik, the author of "Cycorder" only available on Jailbroken iPhone says that the 3G camera can shoot video at 8-15 frames per second in direct dependence of the light conditions.

Video Editing
The videos that taken with the iPhone 3G S, may also be cut on the same device, but the process is quite "destructive" because once cut the original video (and full) will be permanently lost and will remain stored only one brief. All movies can be sent via MMS or email and are automatically optimized by reducing both the size and quality. This process does not affect the original video which will be saved in the size and quality standards.

Speech commands
The new iPhone 3G S integrates Voice Control, which includes the VoiceOver introduced in the iPod Shuffle. We can speak to our iPhone to call people in the phonebook, or dial phone numbers or even to start playing a song / album. A voice prompt will give us the titles of songs you're listening to the playlist.

agree with you..i still stick back with current iphone 3g as not much improvement from new iphone 3gs..
voice control rly amazing but not rly a big need for me...n the new OS3.0 also will b enough for me..except the carrier i using now got nice offer for this new phone then MAYBE will consider it..

it is say it not use any developer UIID but once you install it you cant install the public release this 17 june, because your iphone will tend to lock with dev account base on your serial number. i myself not quiet sure bout this but the OS you mention is the master/gold/final BETA series of OS3.

my advice is that better dont need to restore it because afraid of locked into installing official public release of OS3.






OMG, This want me to buy it because i dont have any digital camera so i prefer camera on my iphone, can take a picture,send via facebook, email etc...

urmmm.... i cant take it anymore, i want to get 1 of this I3GS.

There's an iPhone OS v3.0 gold edition meant for the developers released on the day of WWDC 2009. That version is meant for developers and the commercial version is not expected until 17 June 2009 (as announced). According to Apple, upgrading to this developer version may lock you out of the commercial release on 17. Not sure what kind of implications Apple meant. We do know that upgrading to v3.0 beta or official cannot be downgraded though.

I guess this gold edition is lurking around the internet. Better wait for 17.

@frequency

Post deleted. Do not link any beta firmware in this forum. This is a friendly warning.

Thank you

Hmm..better quality than 5MP camera?
I think apple is heading in the right direction for the upgrades in camera but i was still hoping for the front camera.
I can't wait to see how the iPhone is gonna video call..using ichat on iPhone,etc..
Maybe next year..haha...

Anyway if got launch how many ppl will be going?

hmmm thank you =] nice lah iPhone 3Gs. i didt wan to buy the 3G cause i heard a better one is coming. well overall i fine this new coming model really awesome. im loving the manual focus. may be cause im a camera guy. and 3mp is sufficient enough. too big might take alot of memory for the phone besides i own a DSLR camera on the iphone ah cukup lah~

Quick question. Is the graphics chip faster on the 3G S?

i will probably will go. or maybe will ask my brother to buy it from oversea since he always outstation...

with better proc, and according to some website which compare the open gl, 3gs is using opengl 2.0. which makes me think (me only) it will perform better than current 3g.

for more information, head here

well it should be cause during the live stream WWDC go read while its still there http://live.gizmodo.com/

aiks the video in youtube not complete
the end part where they introduce the MMS feature, how many of you aware of the "Forward" feature?
3.0 will have forward sms/mms feature

os3.0 got forward feature for sms/mms???
i cant find about this...

this is when they introduce at 3GS mms feature, which i believe is the same, is 1 of the feature in 3.0
the only different of 3G and 3GS beside proc. and ram, different will be the compass and camera
else i dun see any much different
since 3.0 got MMS, n the forward feature should be 1 package under this?
we'll know in the next 7 days!

to clear misunderstanding, in software release life cycle Gold also means Production or Live release of the final version of the product. It's not Beta.

"The production, live version is the final version of a particular product. It is typically almost identical to the final release candidate, with only last-minute bugs fixed. A live release is considered to be very stable and relatively bug-free with a quality suitable for wide distribution and use by end users. In commercial software releases, this version may also be signed (used to allow end-users to verify that code has not been modified since the release). The expression that a software product "has gone live" means that the code has been completed and is ready for distribution. Other terms for the live version include: live master, live release, or live build. In some areas of software development the live release is referred to as a gold release; this seems to be confined mainly to game software."

Refer here: wiki

and Apple never never mentioned that it will lock u out from the future commercial release but instead you cant restore to the earlier released of iPhone OS.

It's Gold Master release and i've read somewhere that before you installed the 3.0 GM, there's a new disclaimer/agreement saying that you will not able to use the Live release.

I'll try to dig it up the source again. This is how they try to fend users thats not dev from using the GM. The JB for beta5 can be use but BigBoss have warned users not to use it as it will replace the final release file with the beta 5 files and you'll have a hybrid of 3.0 GM+beta 5. It might cause some issues later.
