In this video, I continue the WWDC 2008 roundup, and discuss the new features of the iPhone 2.0 software. These new features include Contact Search, Full iWork & MS Office document support, bulk delete email, and other enhancements. The iTunes App store was also talked about Steve Jobs and more details were given regarding it. Most notably, developers will not be charged if they wish to deploy free applications. I think this is a huge plus. Also, the number of countries have increased. Apple has imposed a 10MB limit on applications that are downloaded over the cellular network. If it’s more than 10MB, you can only download apps from the iTunes App store via WiFi and iTunes. Apple introduced Enterprise and Adhoc distribution of custom iPhone apps for those situations where users want semi-public or private distribution of apps.
These features make the iPhone software update a valuable addition to your existing iPhone. Personally, I will not be upgrading to the new iPhone and look forward to this software update. This will be available in early July for existing iPhone users and a $9.95 upgrade for iPod Touch users.
