Nice job -- you just made it a thousand percent easier for me to explain to my friends and family why they should upgrade from 2.2.1 to 3.0. Thanks.

There is no longer a "Redeem" section in the app store, it is now back to the normal 2.0 configuration, at least on my phone. It happened after about a day after the release.

I wish one could add an event to Calendar after receiving an iCal invitation in Mail (as an .ics attachment).

One thing I found is that when you type in email, then shake the phone, it asks if you would like to undo what you typed. That was a first for me. Check it out and let me know

Wow! This is a great resource. Almost overwhelming! Good job!
I sure wish we could type the grave accent on the iPod touch. Dunno if that works somehow on iPhone either.
Anyone? Anyone? :-)

under iPod you should include that it now recognizes when a Dock connection is plugged in and you can no longer adjust the system volume. For instance if you plug in an FM transmitter and double click the home button the song comes up with play/pause forward and backward buttons but no volume slider, assuming you'll adjust the volume with whatever is being plugged in.
This was always the case before (adjusting the volume did nothing out of the 30 pin connector) but this time the iPod app acknowledges that by taking away the slider and saying "Dock Connection".
(this is all based on my first gen iPod touch running 3.0)

Easy. Just click and hold the vowel you wish to have the grave accent...or any other, in fact. This also includes other letters such as "Z", "L" and "N", which have alternates. You should check the numbers as well, where "0" (zero) also has the alternate "naught" symbol -- something I had not noticed prior to 3.0.

On my touch, pressing and holding a vowel (I tried with the letter "e") causes a pop-up palette with a whole bunch of accented variants (seven, in my case), including grave, circumflex, cedille, etc.

When in Maps if you tap the current location reticle a second time the iPhone will show and track your current facing direction (like a compass). Very neat.

I hope you follow up with what is missing.
My nomination is the lack of a custom recurring option in Calendar. If I have a meeting on the third Thursday of every month, I can't enter it on my iPhone. I should not have to wait till I get home to enter it in the desktop version of Calendar. The Palm could do this a decade ago.

I couldn't figure out the orientation thing. How do you make the map orient in the direction you are going? This is on the iPhone 3g 3.0 right?

Does anyone know if the Apple In-Ear Headphones can now control the volume on the 3GS? I'm assuming they changed the hardware so this would work on the new phone, but I don't see any change in compatibility on the Apple Store pages.

"Holding down the .com key now offers the ability to enter every common top-level domain suffix as well as every country suffix for which you have an input method currently active..."
I read the above thinking I could now have .us and .name included, which are two domains types I own and occasionally need to enter.
Am I missing something? Not common enough?
