Does this update give the 3G iPhones A2DP capability without resorting to third party accessory devices - Mike
Hi Mike, I've read that developers are happily using A2DP to stereo bluetooth headsets via pre-release versions of OS 3.0 on existing 3G hardware, so I guess that's a yes!

TomTom have a teaser landing page on their global site, showing an outline of a cradled iPhone - this is clearly 'big' news for them. _________________ iPhone 4/4S (iOS 5.1.1); TomTom Western Europe (1.10)/USA & Canada (1.10); CoPilot for iPhone (8), UK mapping, Mac OS 10.8/XP Pro/Win7; Tongue firmly in cheek!

Get ready for 300 varieties of compass apps to go with the 300 varieties of spirit levels you've already had the misfortune of wading through. Oh bore! _________________ Dom

Let's hope TT fully encompass the connected nature of the iPhone and enable HD Traffic and other LIVE Services upon it. _________________ Darren Griffin

I hope Tomtom haven't nerfed this in comparison to their standalone units. I want IQ Routes and Live services please.
The TomTom announcement at the WWDC said it has IQ Routes (but very little else at this time - 'latest maps', whatever that means). I'm certain they'll be selling a zillion add on services - OS 3.0 allows in-app purchases, so why wouldn't they?! Besides, I get the impression this is a big deal for TomTom (they're the partner of choice for 40 Million devices that don't yet have Turn-by-Turn) so I suspect they'll pull out all the stops. Any serious turn-by-turn would have to include some kind of live traffic info (well, it would for the UK at least!). The iPhone is THE platform for accessing external data and the OS3 app store could hardly be more supportive.
How good they are with map updates remains to be seen (painful Palm Navigator user here!).
I'm just praying we get to download maps and run them without the NEED to connect to a Network. _________________ iPhone 4/4S (iOS 5.1.1); TomTom Western Europe (1.10)/USA & Canada (1.10); CoPilot for iPhone (8), UK mapping, Mac OS 10.8/XP Pro/Win7; Tongue firmly in cheek!

I know what you mean. At least Apple are incorporating a compass app into the 3GS, so it will discourage developers from releasing identical functionality. But then someone will come up with a better alternative and you're stuck with two compass apps - you can't remove the default Apple apps! I wish they'd addressed that in the new OS. I don't mind the storage space, but the springboard space is precious and I really don't want to have to work with things I don't use.

Unsurprisingly, O2 aren't offering a generous upgrade path for 3G owners.
'Upgrade
If you're already with us on Pay Monthly, you can upgrade to the new iPhone 3G when it's time to upgrade. It's usually the last month of your contract, but you can check at My O2.' Here.
Don't quote me on it, but I think the 3GS pricing options look more expensive also, despite the US pricing being the same as the original 3G. _________________ iPhone 4/4S (iOS 5.1.1); TomTom Western Europe (1.10)/USA & Canada (1.10); CoPilot for iPhone (8), UK mapping, Mac OS 10.8/XP Pro/Win7; Tongue firmly in cheek!

I'm sure it will stick to the windscreen and hold the iPhone in place no matter what app you're running... but I suspect that's not quite what you meant!
