The 3.0 update is NOT out yet, the Developer Beta is available today how ever.
The 3.0 update will be free for both iPhone generations, BUT the original iPhone will not have MMS or Stereo Bluetooth. It will be $10 for both iPod Touch generations.
There were a few good tidbits of information from the Q and A session.
Q: Where do you stand on tethering?
A: There’s two pieces needed to support that: client side and working with carriers. We’re absolutely supporting tethering in the client side in iPhone 3.0, but we’re working with carriers around the world to see when they can add tethering support on their networks. But we are building that support into iPhone 3.0.
Q: Is there a physical hardware problem on the first-gen iPhone that prevents it from doing MMS.
A: It’s a different radio, so it is a physical issue.
