Apple appears to have inadvertently revealed some future plans via a message to an iPhone developer. The report which comes via iLounge focusses on the Newspaper(s) made by developer Makayama which was rejected to to “objectionable content”.
iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 4
The app is designed to allow readers to view over 50 national and international newspapers, the application which is now available on the App Store was originally rejected due to the content of UK based The Sun tabloid. Apple told the developer in a rejection message that the new iPhone OS 3.0 will introduce Parental Controls and that it “would be appropriate to resubmit your application for review once this feature is available.”

The news would suggest that with the release of iPhone OS 3.0 Apple could loosen some of the restrictions placed on “objectionable content” in the App Store.

iPhone OS 3.0 Offers iPhone Camera Improvements

A questionable report from iPhones.ru shows that pictures taken using the new iPhone OS 3.0 beta software show significant improvements compared to the current public iPhone OS 2.2.1.

Although it is perfectly feasible for software updates to offer improvements in cameras the results shown are significant.

[Editors note - I will personally do some testing myself over the next few days.]
