Apple are set to announce the third major release of their iPhone OS at a media only event on 17th March.

Things I hope will be included:

• Copy/Paste – finally please?
• Background push notification – so that the copy of MobileChat I bought almost a year ago might actually become useful.
• Improved support for ActiveSync – Why can MobileMe set the colour of multiple calendars properly, but Google Mobile Sync can’t?
• MMS – Like every other mobile phone with a colour screen in the world ((Although in the UK we are lucky to have a pretty good substitute in the MMS app.)).

Things which will probably actually be included:

• None of the above but something big which will make the previous list seem unimportant (until the gloss wears off and we all remember we actually wanted copy/paste etc).
