The website also demonstrates a number of confirmed features in iPhone OS 3.0 such as revamped Stock application, MMS and digital recorder.

For those who are planning to upgrade from iPhone 2G to iPhone 3G, my suggestion is to wait for a month longer. It’s very likely Apple will announce the next gen iPhone some time in Jun or Jul.
