Apple iPhone 3.0 Preview Event -- Live Meta-Blog this Tuesday!

Just making it official folks: Join me along with our editor-in-chief, Dieter Bohn, and as many of our writers, fellow editors, and friends who can make it, for live meta-blog coverage of this Tuesday's Apple iPhone 3.0 Preview event.

We'll kick things off just before 1pm EDT/10am PDT with color, commentary, and you comments. We likely won't get the actual firmware for download until later this summer, but we'll get a chance to see what we'll be getting.

Those who remember this time last year, at the iPhone 2.0 preview event, Apple focused first on ActiveSync, 802.1x, Cisco VPN, remote wipe for Enterprise, then shifted into the SDK and games like Super Monkey Ball, and social networking apps like AIM with the first hints of what became the App Store.

What will Apple have for Enterprise this year? Is it still a focus? How about the SDK? What will be new for developers? And App Store, will it go Premium? And what else will we get?

Join us in just over 48hrs to find out!

    Jeez i want an iphone so bad. i guess my credit is too new though, they wanted a $500 dollor down payment :(

  2. Looking forward to the coverage

  3. Omari James says:

    I just can wait for some new features. I don't really care about enterprise and 802.1x. Let them figure out the things they need to fix with the current apps first.

  4. iPhone 3G says:

    Just had to say: England thrashed France at rugby today and Chelsea beat Man City :D

  5. rugby? says:

    Rugby? Get that shit out of here.

  6. iAirmanshirk says:

    What...the... FUCK?! Rugby? Is this a boring sports blog? lol

  7. Steve says:

    :shock: What the h€ll is rugby?

  8. Wesley says:

    I really don't know what to expect, since this is a major version upgrade, and from 1.x to 2.x we got the whole AppStore, so it should be something as big as it.

  9. Drake says:

    I wish we could get 3.0 sooner than later this summer.

    But MMS and Copy and Paste are well worth the wait. :D

  10. Henry says:

    It's cool to have a phone that actually gets updates. You never really plug in your LG Chocolate and get latest firmware. I'm happy enough with the current features that anything new will be fine.

  11. James says:

    The 3.0 isn't going to be available til summer? I guess they will only speak about it Tuesday and allow consumers to take advantage of it later. If so what a bummer. I'm unable to wait.

  12. Most likely it will include copy paste function and enhanced features for app developers.

  13. Griff says:

    If this update doesn't include background running apps or some sort of notification server announcement, I WILL be selling my 3G iphone and getting a pre.

  14. Good blog. I got a lot of effective info. I've been keeping an eye on this technology for awhile. It's intriguing how it keeps varying, yet some of the core elements remain the same. Have you seen much change since Google made their latest acquisition in the area?
