It won't be available en masse until the 17th of the month, but the
gold build of iPhone OS 3.0 is now available to developers -- a promising sign that apps taking advantage of a wide variety of 3.0's new features (push notifications, in-app payments, and the like) will be available by the time it's released to the general public. We've been toying around with the latest cut here and have noticed a few small changes from
beta 5; nothing groundbreaking, but notable nonetheless. Most importantly, iTunes is now offering movie, TV and music video downloads directly from the phone, which has caused the bottom navigation bar to be rearranged a bit. We also noticed that the App Store's nav bar was rearranged a bit to accommodate a "More" button where you'll find Top 25 and Redeem links. The Store screen in Settings now shows a nicely-formatted account information screen -- nice, we suppose -- but unfortunately, MMS configurability is still missing, so it's unclear whether AT&T will need to push an update once it flips the switch. Dive into the gallery for a closer look.

The apple site says "MMS support from AT&T coming in late summer."

SERIOUS Fail on all Fronts from ATT to the "NEW" iPhone.
What good is it when it wont even let me make a call or Send an MMS.
if you checked beta 5 earlier today without upgrading to GM, these were already in effect. nice try though.
No word on audiobooks? It is an absolute crime that I cannot download audiobooks on the ipod touch/ iphone version of itunes.
Good point!
