Engadget is reporting that Apple is previewing iPhone OS 3.0 on March 17th. They got an invitation for the preview which will also include a look at the iPhone SDK. The shortish Engadget post also states that they’re expecting no releases of any actual software as the invitation says that the event is “an advanced preview of what we’re building”. The event will take place at 12:00 P.M. CST and Engadget will be liveblogging the preview.

We here at AYAAW sincerely hope that Apple includes the following with OS 3.0:

• A better way to organize/move apps around.
• Copy & Paste.
• Push notifications (battery friendly of course).
• MMS texting.
• A better way to organize/move apps around.

That’s not a typo. We really, really want a better way to organize/move apps around. After the third or fourth full screen of apps it’s a big pain in the ol’ arse to do anything other than let iTunes just plunk them in the first available spot. From an organizational and productivity standpoint that’s just plain inefficient.
