Here’s looking at you, background-running functionality.
Regardless of your beliefs about the success or failure of the 3.0 firmware, you don’t have to wait until this summer to try out all the new features.

A note about jailbreaking: Jailbreaking your iPhone can allow it to do many things that the built-in software, and software distributed through the App Store, can’t yet do.
