Wow, I didn't see that coming (at least not this quickly).
They have to announce it in advance for developers to start updating their apps. Remember Apple announced iPhone 2.0 the same time last year.

GPS turn-by-turn has nothing to do with the OS capabilities it is simply an app that can be developed by third party. I remember that there was a clause in the SDK agreement that prohibit turn-by-turn GPS apps but I am not sure if this still stand. I have read new that there are several third party apps under development.
Now all the announcements can be made and rumors can be leaked.
Of course it's most likely Apple has had a few key developers in on the new OS also - in order that a few features can be demonstrated...I'm sure Apple will likely wow with what they have to show.
Funny how all the rumors about the Mar event all assumed hardware updates!
I was asking a rhetorical question, it wasn't aimed at the article itself. Many people have been saying that the iPhone is growing stale and everyone else is catching up. My point essentially is Apple has not been sitting on its hands.

I'm hoping that Apple has been listening to complaints and looking at their customers outside the US and is going to throw MMS in with all of these.
It's been said many times before, the fact that the cheapest and oldest phone I could go out and buy now can do it but the iphone can't is just ridiculous.
Sure, people can reply and say it's a useless technology and that a lot of people don't use it (though just about everybody I know here in the UK does), but I'm the one still considering whether or not I want to get an iphone after 2 years and I'd like MMS quite a lot \
Last WWDC they officially named it iPhone OS, even though it is also on the iPod.

All Apple has to do is implement the new functionality of HTML 5 and allow web apps to have local access to system resources and that's pretty much most the advantages of Palm Pre.
Full native multitasking. Web apps never really took off for the iphone. Iphone Web apps made people want to barf.
Seriously - I pray for copy/paste ONLY because it will make everyone shutup about not having it. I've had the iPhone since day 1 almost two years ago and found myself wanting copy/paste MAYBE two or three times.

Things do change pretty quickly, but I do agree that a lot of those expectations are unrealistic.
Copy and Paste would be nice but i rather them to focus on other stuff, i mean sure the iphone is missing a lot of common things but at least Safari has is not chocking when browsing the web something others have been try to do for years and are still working on it with no luck lol.

I agree. I'm not gonna complain about it, since the iPhone is great in many other ways, but I'd definitely like to see MMS. I find this missing feature to be more of an inconvenience than copy/paste.
They aren't Microsoft or Palm you know - they UPDATE their stuff!
i'm 99% sure that the push technology in this is licensed from Microsoft. Apple already licenses ActiveSync from MS for the MS Exchange integration. Last month Google licensed it as well for their app store and a lot of other uses other than email. I bet Apple did the same.

Speaking of iPod...$10 upgrade?
I also hope this relates to the 10" touch panels we have been hearing about.
I want a full size Document reader that works with my PDFs.
Push notification?
more Bluetooth profiles?
Tethering?
Copy-Paste?
Better organizing of Apps?
the new iphone/touch hardware is supposed to be a quad core CPU and better 3d graphics. there is a rumor of a new premium app store with $20 games and EA being an early partner.
In the next few years Apple is going to wipe the floor with almost every handheld gadget maker out there

The preview might also provide additional insight into Mac OS X Snow Leopard!

If it was as good as TomTom and relatively cheap, that would make my year. I could finally get rid of my Windows Mobile PDA.
ugh. I just bought an ipod touch yesterday. Should I return? Any thoughts?
At worst, it will cost you $10 to upgrade the OS. I don't see a new iPod touch coming out anytime soon.
