I'd like to know how people are getting on with Iphone OS 3 (beta).
SEE BELOW FOR BETA 3 UPDATE
I've found:
-Curser does not appear when typing in forms inside Safari
-It's annoying how you have to press on the text box to start the keyboard within a txt message
-OFTEN the touch screen becomes unresponsive to all touch! - Have to turn off / on or reboot phone - This is REALLY annoying.
-Got MMS working, but PXT / MSS picture quality is SHOCKING!
-Internet and Email appears to load a lot faster over-all
-Push service seems to work quite well
-Landscape keyboard view leaves too little of the page or email on the screen
-No option to turn off auto-rotation in txts
-Txt conversations don't fill the whole screen (left to right) what a waste of space
-3g speeds seem somewhat improved
-My Iphone finally works properly with WPA Enterpise / MSCHAP login at work!
-Spotlight is quite slow
-Battery life is all over the place, some times it seems much better sometimes much, much worse (probably due to processes no killing or memory leaks?)
-Supprised that there are no beta apps available in the app store
-Flash player in Safari appears 'dodgy' and does not work on all sites
-Cut / Copy / Paste is a cool idea, but you often activate it my mistake and it is quite laggy
-Ambient light sensor works even worse than usual (i.e. not-at-all)
-31/3/09 - Today I found that I any txt I would send would fail, even after rebooting my phone, fix was to enable aeroplane mode and disable again.
I'll update this as I find things.
-General Speed Up
-Sometimes phone will lock itself while you're typing (as if it doesn't realise you're actually using it)
-Push notifications are now broken
-Safari Curser Fixed!
-Spotlight seems faster, but maybe not?
-Cut Copy Paste is far less laggy
-Ambient light sensor still doesn't work
-Just noticed text box doesn't expand when writing a multi-line txt message (purely cosmetic)
-MMS / PXT Quality is still unusable
Beta 3 Just out!

P2P user spongebob releases the iPhone OS 3 beta, this new OS includes copy and paste, and much more new improvements. Use in at your own risk and don’t forget to read the pdf file(included in the rar and below).
iPhone OS is the operating system running on the iPhone (both original and 3G models) and the iPod Touch. It is based on a variant of the same basic Mach kernel that is found in Mac OS X. iPhone OS includes the software component “Core Animation” from Mac OS X v10.5 which, together with the PowerVR MBX 3D hardware, is responsible for the interface’s smooth animations. The operating system takes up less than half a GB of the device’s total 8 GB or 16 GB storage.[58] It is capable of supporting bundled and future applications from Apple, as well as from third-party developers. Software applications cannot be copied from Mac OS X but must be written and compiled specifically for the iPhone.
Like the iPod, the iPhone is managed with iTunes version 7.3 or later, which is compatible with Mac OS X version 10.4.10 or later, and 32-bit or 64-bit Windows XP or Vista.[59] The release of iTunes 7.6 expanded this support to include 64-bit versions of XP and Vista,[60] and a workaround has been discovered for previous 64-bit Windows operating systems.[61] Apple provides free updates to the iPhone’s operating system through iTunes, in a similar fashion to the way that iPods are updated.[58] Security patches, as well as new and improved features, are released in this fashion.[62] For example, iPhone 3G users initially experienced dropped calls until an update was issued.
