Found Footage: Kevin Rose on iPhone 3.0 features
Here's a short video from SXSW with DiggNation hosts Alex Albrecht and Kevin Rose, where Rose goes through a laundry list of iPhone 3.0 features that will allegedly be announced tomorrow during the Apple Press Event.
This video sounds rather alcohol-fueled -- at least it appears that the audience members, who are screaming out their most-wanted features for most of the video, were rather drunk -- and Rose has a somewhat checkered past with his Apple predictions, but his description of cut & paste on the iPhone sounds quite realistic.
He also states at one point that the point of the 3.0 release is to bring the iPhone's feature set to the level of the Palm Pre. If that's the case, then we should also hear about Bluetooth tethering and integrated MMS messaging for the iPhone -- which I, for one, seriously doubt. Of course, we'll all see what's coming tomorrow, and you can get your coverage of the event here on TUAW. Note that the video contains words that may be offensive to some people.

assuming Kevins sources are correct about bring 3.0 up to Pre levels, wouldn't that possibly mean that Flash is coming as well?
Wow, bunch of haters here...
And we weren't all drunk.
Am I the only one who has MMS installed from the appstore on my iPhone then? Or is it only available in the uk?

How come ? It would finallly bring iPhone a step closer to having features that have been considered standard for about 10 years.. (ok almost). Those restrictions just have to go..
those two guys give me the creeps.

* 1) engage clipboard
* 2) drag left quote
* 3) drag right quote
* 4) copy command
* 5) find place to paste
* 6) engage clipboard again to paste
* 7) paste
The proof is always in the implementationâassuming Rose has his details rightâand hopefully you can actually *do it* a lot faster and if it's coming from Apple, it'll be brain dead simple. I would also expect Apple to take full advantage of multitouch here where you could probably use 2 fingers to do steps 2 and 3 (almost) simultaneously to hit both quote positions right away.
While it sounds like a lot of steps, it sounds like a clear way you are selecting exactly what you want.
If you select by simply dragging, you'd never get what you wanted first time. Remember, the input device is your(mine) fat finger.
Gosh, Rose is one arrogant pr¡ck! Not to mention the co-host, who has to say f*cking every other word; he's also an arrogant loser that prolly never gets any trim.

Not to mention, what is the point of insulting someone's ability to have sex? Does that make you feel better for some reason?
