By at 11:35 am Tuesday, Mar 17

Over at BB Gadgets, Rob sums up the new features coming in the third version of the iPhone operating system. And a joyous cut-and-pasted cheer was heard across the land. From BB Gadgets:
Scott Forstall, Apple's SVP of iPhone software, also introduced:

• Peer-to-peer linkups between individual iPhones -- great for gaming, collaborative work and sharing business cards or other files.

• Accessory developers can create custom applications that communicate directly with specialist hardware, even using bluetooth or custom protocols. Examples given included an FM transmitter with advanced controls, and a a remote blood pressure monitor.

• Google Map as a public API, meaning that developers can embed them in programs.
