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.

@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.
