It’s iPhone week 2009, and the first event has passed. The third major release of the iPhone OS was released yesterday, with updates available through iTunes at about 10 a.m. Pacific time.
The new OS includes copy and paste inside and between applications, a voice recording app, and small improvements in almost every default app. In addition, third-party apps now support push notification and sales inside of apps. Some apps have already been updated to take advantage of push notification.
Tomorrow morning the second shoe will drop, with the release of the iPhone 3GS. Apple stores is many countries will open an hour or two early and start distributing pre-ordered iPhones first, and then selling them to all an hour later.
The new iPhone will feature an improved camera with higher picture resolution and video shooting capability, a compass, and voice control ability.
Lines and sales may not be as big on the first day, as those who bought an iPhone 3G on July 11, 2008, are not eligible for a partial price subsidy from AT&T until exactly one year after they bought their 3G.
