Ok so I was watching the iphone OS 3 keynote the other day and man is it insane.

I will hazard a guess this cause people to eventually have an iPhone and a couple of iTouchs around the house to control all kinds of things. Rumor has it they are coming out with a midsize pad thing like the nokia, and I would logically guess it will use this OS, with a much bigger/better screen.

lThe 3.0 SDK has nearly a 1000 api's... and here are a few key points.

- Peer to Peer / via Bluetooth (w.out pairing)
- using Bonjour for Automatic Discovery
- apps to control 3rd part hardware accessories (w bluetooth or direct connect)
- public maps api for custom app info (using GPS / Cell Towers)
- apple push notification service
- a proximity sensor (?) api
- ipod lib access (for reading local lib media files), from any app.
- new media player can adjust bandwidth to your connection.
