Apple this week released its iPhone OS 3.0 software update, the much anticipated upgrade that allows iPhone and iPod touch owners to run the next generation of iPhone apps, like peer-to-peer games. Over 100 new features find their way into the update, just a handful of which include:

  • Copy & Paste text and photos
  • New Spotlight allowing users to search across the entire information contained in the device
  • Search in Mail, Calendar, and iPod
  • Landscape keyboard
  • Shake to shuffle music
  • Improved parental controls
  • Stereo Bluetooth

The new OS is free for all iPhone customers (both the original iPhone and iPhone 3G), while iPod touch customers will have to pony up $10 for the update.
