Summer 2009 = 3.0!
Apple hosted the highly anticipated iPhone OS 3.0 Media Event in Cupertino, CA today. More than 1,000 new APIs are included in the new SDK which allow developers to access more functions of the device.
More than 100 New Features will be included in the 3.0 release, including many on my iPhone Wish List! Unfortunately, Flash & Theme Customizations will not be in this release. Also, if you have a 2G iPhone, the Stereo Bluetooth and MMS features will not be available due to hardware limitations (different radio sets) but you'll still benefit from many of the new features. Below is a list of the features that were demoed today at the event:

JACKPOT!
I finally won my first jackpot after after 1 1/2 years living in Vegas last night!

Adam was teaching me how to play video poker on the nickle slots. I was getting the hang of it and almost hit a few big hands but then all of a sudden, it hits... A - J - K - 10 - Q ... all of Hearts! Adam grabs my arm - the one which was still sore from the gym btw - and his eyes got real big and he screams, "YOU GOT A ROYAL FLUSH!!!" Apparently that's a good thing 'cuz it pays the highest on that game! I won $200 which was how much I had already spent on slots - so all in all, I walked away happy that I won and got my money back! HA!
15 Minutes to Go!

It's about to start!!

Jamie Bamber's PSA with PETA UK. I think I may need to look him up on IMDB and molest him via his acting history. O:-)
