iPhone OS 3.2 Hides Its Game: Contains Video Calling, Downloading, SMS & Handwriting Functions
The iPad hasn't hit the market yet that hackers all around the world are trying to unveil its secrets.
It's actually quite exciting because these efforts are really paying off. Apple engineers have left in iPhone OS 3.2, the iPad's operating system, a huge amount of clues that point to features Steve forgot to tell us about.
There is, for example, a whole lot of functions prepared to support video conferencing. There is also a file downloading function that works a little bit like your picture gallery. It lets you download files from your browser and save them in a file library which you can later access from your apps.
Here are some of the hidden features:
- a spell checker with multiple dictionaries
- rich text support for apps
- Location aware ads in maps
- File upload in Safari
- SMS support
- A prototype "Handwriting keyboard"
Well, of course this doesn't actually mean they'll ever activate them, but they are sure thinking about it.
