Available since a few days for download for developers, the time to check its compatibility with existing or new programs, the firmware 3.0 for iPhone and iPod Touch is now available to all.

Apple has changed the security settings of the 3.0 firmware to prevent the “jailbreak”, ie piracy to install the unofficial applications. But obviously, this has not prevented the iPhone Dev Team, a group of independent developers, to harm the security of the 3.0 firmware promising for the weekend software to further automate this process.

Apple did not say what time the update is expected to be rolled out, but original iPhone and iPhone 3G users will be able to download it using iTunes. Customers with an iPod Touch will be able to download OS 3.0 , but will have to pay .99. 

Apple also introduced ‘Find my iPhone’ which can locate your iPhone anywhere in the world using MobileMe. A message can be displayed on the iPhone with a custom message such as “Help, I have lost my owner, if found, please call (555) 123-4567. The iPhone also comes with a ‘kill switch’ which allows the user to destroy all the data on their iPhone remotely if not found, cleaning personal data off, which can be restored through the backup on iTunes later.

It is worth noting that if Apple, with its 3.0 firmware, gave the departure of top service push notifications, supposedly better than the programs in the background, very few programs draw yet part . This is particularly true of the game Tap Tap Revenge.
Apple also introduced zipcar, a neat application that shows you a map of available zipcar locations. The application also includes a horn and unlock feature, that actually activate your cars horn and unlocks your doors with a click of your iPhone or iPod Touch.
