In case you missed it, the iPhone 3.0 software will be available worldwide on June 17th (today for developers). It will be free for iPhone owners and $9.95 for Touch. There are also some new features unveiled at WWDC.

Whats new: MMS will be available from 29 carriers at launch, but it won't be coming to AT&T until "later this summer" (WEAK!), tethering is official for 22 carriers (no AT&T at launch naturally), Safari handles JavaScript 3x faster along with HTTP streaming audio & video, auto-fill, and HTML 5 support. There are also 30 languages total available in 3.0—including Hebrew, Arabic, Thai, Greek, and Korean.

There is also a new "Find My iPhone" feature that is available to MobileMe customers. It shows users where their lost iPhone is on a map. You can even send it a remote wipe command to protect your sensitive data in the event that it is stolen.
