iPhone OS 3.0 debut is March 17: Vote for most needed features
Apple is unveiling the next version of the iPhone operating system March 17.
ArsTechnica received an invite and wrote this: “The invite-only event is geared towards the new iPhone SDK, Apple says, and will give the media a “sneak peek” at the iPhone OS 3.0 software. The event will apparently be an intimate one, as it will take place at Apple’s Town Hall building in Cupertino at 10 a.m. Pacific Time.”
