The long-awaited iPhone OS 3.0 is finally here. While it is certainly less momentous than the launch of the original iPhone, it is still a solid OS upgrade in terms of performance and additional features. Assuming you’ve upgraded succesfully, you will soon notice a few minor enhancements that, while not bullet-pointed in a Keynote, certainly raise the bar in terms of usability. Here are a few that have been discovered in just a couple hours of testing.

As any respectable Apple or iPhone fanboy would know by now, the 3.0 version of the iPhone OS Software has been officially released by Apple. One of the most prominent new features in this software version is cut, copy, and paste, a feature that has been long awaited for by many iPhone users. I’ll be the first to admit that it took Apple way too long to get this into such a powerful device, but I believe the extra time they took to create it payed off. It works really well, for the most part.

iPhone OS 3.0 has only been out for a couple of hours, and already we’re seeing some weird behavior. Case in point? This image, in which one of our staff members found an odd GUI issue in his Favorites screen. As far as update problems go, this, of course, is nothing; as long as everything is functioning properly and no data is lost, you have to consider it a successful upgrade. But, as with most software updates, anomalies are bound to arise.
