Apple's ready to start talking about the third major release of the iPhone's software, and we'll bring you the news as it happens Tuesday morning.

Make sure to come back to our News-Apple section tomorrow in time for Tuesday's iPhone 3.0 event, which starts at 10 a.m. PDT in Cupertino, Calif. Apple executives are expected to preview some of the features inside the iPhone 3.0 software as well as discuss a new software development kit, according to an invitation sent out last week.dylan ratigan

If last year's iPhone software event was any guide, the talk should run about an hour and a half, and consist of a series of demos and slides outlining the new software. Few people expect Apple to discuss new iPhone hardware at this event, but we might get a sense of when to expect a new iPhone if Apple provides any sort of guidance on when the iPhone 3.0 software will be ready.
