iPhone OS 3.0 Walkthrough Part 1

Hey guys, this is Mac Heads 101, and today, um, I know it's a bit early, but a lot of people really, really wanted me to do this video as soon as possible. So, I'm going to be showing you 3.0 on the iPhone and everything about it. This might be a two-part video; I don't know because there's a lot to say. Pretty much every app has been updated, so let's get started.

First off, I'm going to be, um, showing you all the apps in the order of how cool I think they are, and then I'll be answering all the questions I got, okay? So, unless I answered it in the video, of course, I'm sorry for the lighting; that was the best lighting I could get to do this video, so hope you can see.

The first app that's been updated the most—well, I can actually show you this—but it's actually the App Store. I can show you one little thing that's been updated, and that's when you can preview any app in the, um, the way the gallery has been. So, before it would reopen the photo viewer, but now, if I just look at this, I can scroll down, and there's this little gray panel for the video for the things. I can still scroll up and down and look at all the pictures at once, so this is a small update. So, why haven't I said it's the biggest app? Because 90% of the updates, probably even more, because there's been like 100 updates to the OS, but 1,000 updates to APIs people can put into their applications. So, that's why I said the App Store, because that's where all the actual changes are going to be after you download from the App Store.

Okay, the next one that has been updated, um, the next most is probably, um, Messages. So um, I'm just going to show you what, um, texting a picture looks like. So, I'm just going to search for Alex right over, um, there, and then I can just look for any picture in my library. So, I'll say "Choose Existing," and then I'll just look for a good one. Here's a good one—it's a picture of my dad's PC. As you can see, there are a couple bugs, so when I choose the picture, it doesn't work always the first time. So, you have a little preview of the picture, and then when I press send, it does take a little while to send, but it's always been like that.

Okay, so as you can see, there's another glitch. Okay, so, but obviously, Alex has received this, and probably next time I visit this, I will have it. Okay, so the next is the, um, Stocks application. That's probably— I mean upload—okay, I'll show you Copy and Paste because you probably really care about that.

So, Copy and Paste—it mostly works for websites; well, that's what they use it the most for; that's where this is the most advanced in. But um, it works everywhere that text works, including applications that, um, are already on the App Store. So I'm just going to go to, um, I don't know; I'll go to apple.com. apple.com. Wait for it to load. Foreign could be using my Wi-Fi.

Okay, so as you guys probably know, the iPhone has a double-tap feature, and you can see where you're detecting. So if I double-tap on like that little small corner, it enlarges that smart corner because it has like, um, web detection. So it can detect what parts of the website and how the website looks. So, it uses that same with the web detection to see if I want to copy something. So, I just copy it, I hold it down, and a thing will come up, and I can just say "Copy," or I can just hold on—not the actual thing, but on any page of the web. So I'll just hold here, and then this little thing will come up, and I can just tap wherever I want it to go unless it's a link, of course. I don't know why I did that.

Okay, so I'll just go back into my iPod, sorry about this, back into Safari. And so if I tap, um, here, it'll copy this section, and if I tap here, okay, it'll copy that section. So as you can see, it's not perfect, but I'll just show you how it slides around, and to cancel it, you just tap on the screen. So I'm just gonna move it to, um, see now; I can copy the whole web page. Okay, so there's how it works.

Okay, now pasting also works. So, if I open email—email is the only place where you can actually paste web content. So I'm just gonna say "New," okay? Um, and then in the subject field, I'll just say, hold it down, let go, and then you say "Paste." So right now, it copy-pasted the link, but you can also copy web content.

To actually copy something like text, you hold, and you say "Select," then this thing will come up, and you can drag that part there, drag this part there, and um, yeah. So as you can see, or you can just select everything, copy, paste, or cut. So we're just gonna cut that, and now I'll be showing you Notes, which is the next new thing.

Oh, by the way, the other new feature in Safari—because that was one—but the other new feature is Auto Fill. So, if I go to, um, youtube.com, I'll do a cut here while it loads.

Okay, so now I'm in YouTube's login page if I wanted to log in. So I can just zoom into here and under username, I can just tap on that. So I can just type my user original username. Previous or next, but there's this next button called "Auto Fill," which isn't clickable right now because I didn't sign in and sign out enough time straight to memorize my username and password. But the autofill hasn't actually worked for me yet, but that's the next move feature.

The next thing I'll be showing you is YouTube. So, I can just open the YouTube application, wait for it to load. Um, apps do take a little bit longer to load sometimes in 3.0 because, as you know, 3.0 does take a little bit longer, but they'll probably fix that in a developer update. Because every single time they do fix something, they have a new update for developers.

So, as you can see, there's Featured, Most Viewed, Search, and Favorites as there was before, but now there's more. So if I go into more, it says "Sign In," so I can sign into my YouTube account, and I can do pretty much whatever I want on YouTube. So, I can rate things, I can favorite things, I can, um, subscribe to people. So it's not quite as good as YouTube; can't put annotations or post videos, obviously, but you can do all of that.

So, the next thing that, um, I'm gonna be showing you is, um, Stocks. So Stocks has been really good—Apple is down, surprisingly.

Okay, so this is the really, really cool new feature in Stocks. First off, you can just slide, and you'll see news about them. So, you can see why they've been going up or now. So, before they just went up, and now it goes down and says, "Palm losses grow."

Um, okay, so it says the Palm is getting bigger, which makes sense. Okay, and let's say I don't really want all those other companies; I just want to focus on Apple. I just rotate it; it'll get bigger, and I can—and if I wanna—now that's in the big mode, I can do more stuff. Like I can just tap anywhere, and as you can see, there's this little dot that looks like it's going on a roller coaster, but really, it's just following the line, and it's telling me how high it is at that point in Finland. It also supports multi-touch, so I can just squeeze and go in any two spots.

So now there's two dots going on roller coasters, and it tells me the difference between all those places, okay? And also, if you tap on one of the news articles, it'll tell you about the news about that company; it'll go to them on the internet.

The next thing that I'm going to be showing you is the Camera. Camera has a really tiny update, so don't expect anything great. But in Camera, instead of having that return to photo library, it'll just have a picture of the last photo you took right over there. So, really small update, but some of you guys might care because I'm showing you guys everything.
