Wow I’m so pleased they finally arabic to read AND WRITE
I used to read an Arabic paper on my last Nokia (pity iPhone didn’t support it before) but writing wasn’t much fun. Can’t wait.
I can’t wait for this update !!
the images looks great too they have done a great job ..
Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for this good news. Well I just bought Iphone 3G 16GB but still having problem in sms and arabic interface. I really like this new OS. Please could you tell me what is the release date for final version.
@Syed my estimate would be June or July, basically when the next iPhone is released. I guess it will be iPhone 3.75G or iPhone 3.5G
I tried iphone os 3.0 beta 5 and it seems it supports Arabic, but when I tried with Safari not every Arabic letter is written correctly.
For example: the word Bi’ar, because the letter ba has kasra, hamza will be written on top of ya without dots. I couldn’t write hamza, the only alif I could write is the standing alif. Do you know how to write the other forms of hamza? There is a bug as well related to kassra, dumma, fatha ….etc.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Karim
For the hamza characters, etc…. You actually need to HOLD on the ALIF and then you can slide to the selection you’d like.
