App and developer functionality (more here)

Peer-to-peer connectivity over Bluetooth for gaming and other info-swapping.

Paid apps will have the potential to be subscription fee-based, and can include optional paid content that can be bought from right inside the app.

Developers can now build apps that call out to Google Maps, and can also finally bring Apple-blessed turn-by-turn to the phone.

Devs can also connect with hardware accessories over in their apps now, such as a blood pressure monitor -- or perhaps a keyboard? Connectivity works through the dock connector or over Bluetooth.

Long-promised push functionality will at last be included, but apps won't run in the background.

Developers can add streaming video and audio to their apps, along with in-game voice use.
General functionality

Cut, copy and paste. At last! You can shake the phone to undo and redo the action, and it works with both text and photos, allowing Mail to send multiple photos at a time. (more here)
MMS, along with forward and delete for multiple messages. (more here)

A2DP stereo Bluetooth.

Unlocked Bluetooth functionality on 2G iPod touch. (more here)

Spotlight has been added to a new home screen page to the left of existing pages, allowing for universal search on the phone. (more here)

Tethering is built into 3.0, and Apple will work with carriers on that -- who will have the last say on its implementation, most likely.

App Store will be available in 77 countries.

Parental controls for TV shows, movies and App Store apps.

Auto-login for WiFi hotspots.

Apple apps
A new app called Voice Memos which lets you record notes and reminders.
A revised Stocks app, with news stories and a landscape view.
Landscape view available for Mail, Text and Notes.

CalDAV support has been added to Calendar, along with subscriptions support in the .ics format.

Apple's major apps have all been expanded with search functionality.
Note syncing to Mac and PC.
YouTube account support.
Form auto-fill.
Phishing protection.
Shake the shuffle iPod playback.

One of the major updates is A2DP.
- Means that one can stream stereo music over bluetooth to a car's hands free kit.
- So make sure one gets an A2DP hands free kit if upgrading and you have an iphone. 2022 P440e AB

LAND ROVER - I hope you are reading this for the 2010MY cars - we NEED this A2DP malarky integrated into the AUDIO as well as the PTi. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

For sure....
- Can the LR head unit mute a call without PTI? (as it makes more sense now for iphone users not to buy PTI but have a discrete Parrot with A2DP installed). 2022 P440e AB

The Parrot that I had in my SE certainly muted the radio when there was an incoming call, I had it installed by the local LR dealer so maybe their techies knew more about the audio than Halfords techies. I have been waiting since October for my Parrot audio/ BT phone system for the Defender........................... launch date was put back to January and now it's April http://www.parrot.com/albums/rk8200
It's interesting to see in those photos how they do the ipod/phone connectivity - basic but original! Remove front of head unit and slide your ipod/phone into the slot and connect up, replace the head unit! Means the ipod is out of sight too 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

more importantly the A2DP iphone will connect to my bluetooth snowboarding helmet with out the need of the bluetooth dongle and ipod nano anymore

It was the reason i didn't get one before, when they was 2g, hope battery life will be better though

So would it be better to get a 3rd party phone kit of the A2DP type and disconnect the RRS's PTI? Would this mean wireless music but lack of phonebook functions etc on the dash. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

- Yes. I guess so.

Though the parrot will display the numbers (but not on the LR dash). 2022 P440e AB
