3.0 Software update for iPod Touch and iPhone

Yes, the long awaited Apple OS update for its dominating gadgets – iPod Touch and iPhone is soon to be announced. This crucial software update patches some annoyances residing in iPod/iPhone and contains some cool features which makes watching videos, playing games and listening to music even more fun and exciting.
The major feature and attraction of 3.0 software is the allowance of “copy, cut, paste” not only between applications, but also within a block of text in a webpage or email. This was badly missed in the previous version of the software but now with that feature enabled, this is just another reason to love your iPod Touch or iPhone. Also the “landscape keyboard” which was not activated in most of the applications gets activated as soon as you rotate your iPod/iPhone. So give your fingers some space now (because i remember typing with a single finger as there was no room for fingers to fit in the portrait keyboard in the earlier version) and type more quickly to write emails and chat with friends. “Stereo Bluetooth” is another hidden feature that the 3.0 software update is about to reveal. With this, you can connect your iPod/iPhone wirelesslely to bluetooth stereo headphones. No more messy wires if you don’t like with this new bluetooth feature uncovered. And now, with the 3.0 software update, you have a search engine for your iPod (just like the Desktop Search in PC) and this is called “Spotlight Search“. With this, you can now search for all your music, videos, contacts, notes, emails from a single spot.
Apart from these noteworthy features, the 3.0 software update has other miscellaneous addons such as parental controls, automatic wifi login, push notifications, shake to shuffle, sync notes, safari enhancements and others.

So all these powerful features and updates to boost your iPod/iPhone will cost you just under $10. I am updating mine on the day of release (which is on 17 June). When are you updating yours?
