Welcome to live coverage of Apple’s iPhone 3.0 preview event. The event is over now but you can read about it here as it unfolded.

[ See also: Apple announces copy and paste, MMS, Spotlight, more for iPhone ]

08:47am: While we’re waiting, what would you like to see in the iPhone 3.0 update? Cut-and-paste? MMS? Background processes? Java? Flash? Or maybe you’d like to see Apple add something that Android, Blackberry, and Windows Mobile don’t already have? Add your comments below. (And yes we know the talkback signup form is stupid.)

09:00am: Also providing real time coverage: Engadget, Gizmodo, Ars Technica, SlashGear, and various folks on Twitter. It’s just like being there! I wonder why Apple just doesn’t do a live webcast of these things.

09:11am: Building evacuated… fire alarm? Ballmer sighting?

09:20am: False alarm, it was only Elvis.

09:28am: Wondering what will happen if Apple does NOT implement cut-n-paste. Again. What’s so hard about cut-n-paste anyway?

09:35am: @LookingGlassPho asks: Anyone else in Sydney geeky enough to be awake at 3.30am following the liveblogging iPhone 3.0 event?

09:43am: Doors open.

Hehe, with Shake being used as Undo... EPIC FAIL!!  NonZealot | 03/17/09
