New iPhone apps in the works

100 additional features planned

Apple iPhone users will soon rejoice when the company releases its new iPhone operating system.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the iPhone OS 3.0, set for release sometime this summer, will offer 100 additional features to the popular phone, such as the ability to cut and paste text, and use a virtual keyboard when the phone is turned sideways. But it will also give developers the ability to develop more sophisticated applications for the phone.

Among the applications that software developers are already beginning to consider or work on:

• Gaming fans can connect via their iPhone and play against each other by using new wireless features.

• Musicians can sync up and use their Bluetooth connection to play duets using musical instrument apps.

• Diabetics can have their glucose monitoring machines send their reports to the iPhone, which then notifies their caregivers.

Video portal Hulu is also rumored to be developing an application that will allow TV and movies to be streamed on the iPhone, according to Ars Technica .
