Photos: Hands-on with the iPhone OS 3.0 Image 1

We've managed to get a sneak peek at the iPhone OS 3.0. It's a beta version, so things could change between now and the official release this summer, but we've captured a few screenshots to give you an idea of its look and feel.

The cut, copy and paste feature is long overdue. The interface is simple and easy to use and it works across all applications, including notes, emails, messages and text on Web pages.

To access the feature, just double-tap on the desired text. You then can move the grab points to select as much or as little text as you'd like. Finally, you choose the cut or copy option, open a new document and tap the paste button. If you make a mistake or change your mind, you can shake the phone to undo.
