Wondering what's in iPhone OS 3.1? There's a YouTube video for that
So here's something interesting, if you're curious to know what features might be in iPhone OS 3.1. It seems YouTube is chock full of videos shot in what seems to be defiance of Apple's NDA for 3.1 features. A couple of gems hint at expanded copy/paste functions, and there's one video which we could swear might hint at a real-time zoom... perhaps not just for photos but for framing video?
Anyway, it's a bit of a mining expedition, as searching for specific [REDACTED] methods or properties yields best results, so don't get all hot and bothered thinking you'll peep an iPad by searching for "setAppleTabletSize" or something. In fact, all of these could be fake, although the sheer number of videos seems to suggest something other than a grand deception.

If you want to see what is coming for full-resolution 8x zoom in 3.1 take a look at Zoom Lens at http://bitwink.com/zoom - it's been sitting in app review purgatory for a couple of weeks now :S

The copy video popup is already there in 3.0. It looks a little weird when it happens; I almost thought it was a glitch.

Don't these videos go against the Apple's Nondisclosure Agreement?
Not that I care, just curious, especially the one little kid that shows his face... Apples got hard evidence on him.

If these things are fake, I find it so sad that people waste their time faking features they'd like to see in 3.1. There are so many other things you could do with your time. *sigh*

I have 3.1 beta 3 and these features are not in it. The Copy Video is, but you cannot paste.
