It seems we'll find out all about it on Thursday smile

I'd like:

1. SDK access to calendar store (for PocketInformant)
2. Multi-tasking support
3. Unified messaging alerts

If you have an iPhone do you automatically get the new software version?

Should be an I-Tunes download I would have thought, there's not going to be a new phone for a while when they are still so popular and Apple are pushing the I-Pad.

OP, got a link on the information?

I just want iTunes to be better with podcasts. Currently it's crippled by its reliance on a computer copy of itunes. Why can I not have subscriptions to podcasts on the iphone? It's a tiny step to make it check for updates with exactly the same behaviour as the app store. Currently I have to manually check every podcast (why is there no favourites function?) using the search. It's tedious, and the kind of thing I expect windows mobile to do.

Maybe some ringtones that weren't chosen by a five year old would be nice.

Can they solve the Flash compatability issue with the next software upgrade?

Nope - Adobe have a working flash version for iPhone supposedly, but Apple won't allow it as they refuse to provide support for Safari plugins.

They can. However it's a point of principal so they won't.

It'll probably be just compatibility things to make it match up with the iPad like the recent iTunes update.

I can't see anything significant happening. Willing to be proven wrong, but I don't think I will be.

I want something like Talk Type, so it'll type what you speak.

I'm sure you can get it on a BlackBerry, so the iPhone should be able to do it easily.. Well infact there is an app, or a few (US) that do it already but you need to pay for them.

If you have a US itunes account you can get the free Dragon Dictation app. (a UK release is planned but no date has been given and it's not guaranteed to be free)

Nope, that was 3.2, the OS for both iPhone and iPad.

If its getting a media event, it'll have more in it, like 2 did with the App store. I'm hoping there will be a beta available from Thursday so I can give it a play...

It's supposed to extend some form of multitasking to third party apps, if you believe the rumours.

While I realise the whole Apple rumor mill is unique, I understood summer was a guesstimate of the new iPhone hardware?

I don't understand why we can't simply choose music from our iTunes to use as ringtones, text message tones, etc. Probably down to some music industry legal nonsense relating to how the tracks are allowed to be used.

Easy enough to convert any file you've got to a 30 second ringtone or even just download it.

Try www.audiko.net for starters.

Is there any news on when the next iPhone is expected?

I got offered a free upgrade from my 3G to 3GS but can't really see the point at the moment. Might as well wait for the next revision of it.

That's exactly the situation I'm in at the moment - can upgrade in about a month's time (16gb 3G at the moment) and see no reason at all to go to 3GS, might as well get a cheaper rental for a few months and then see about the 4th Generation iPhone?!

Probably in June. By the way, I think the OS 4.0 is only being announced on Thursday and probably won't be available to download til June too. Could be wrong mind, I usually am.
