iPhone OS 3.0 Beta - First impressions.
// March 18th, 2009 // No Comments » // iPhone
I have just installed the new 3.0 Beta pre release from Apple on my 2nd generation iPod Touch, and everything looks good so far! Since there certainly are some NDAs involved I won’t be going into much detail. I have to share one thing though, and that is that we now have the Swedish characters ÅÄÖ on the right place on the keyboard!!! Yay! Here’s a screenshot of that:

Cut/Copy/Paste works great! You just double tap to active it. If you double tap on a word, it will select it. You can then modify the selection easily. If you double tap where there is no word, you also get the “select all” option.
I also tried runnings some apps and so far all of them are working just fine! That is very promising. I also tried one of my own apps, Decibel (iTunes), and it is working great! 
The new search screen also looks promising. To access it you just swipe right from the home screen; very easy. I don’t have much content on the Touch right now, but it returned results from mail and apps, and it was very quick. I will try it again later with all my content added.
