A question about 2.0 software: PDF & ebook access

I'm well aware that no one may yet know the answer to this, or at least no one who can talk about it, but I'm wondering if anyone knows if the 2.0 software will allow users to upload PDFs, ebooks, and other similar files onto the device so that they can be read offline. I read a lot of ebooks and keep many other files, such as recipes on my PDA and the lack of this capability has been one of the major factors keeping me from getting an iphone. Does anyone know if this will change, either in the 2.0 software or an app?

Also, does anyone know if 2.0 will allow users to save web pages to the iphone's memory?

We have the beta FW for 2.0 and no features like that on there. There's allways jailbreaking the iPhone and installing the apps.

You can e-mail the PDF to your iPhone and then open it as an attachment.

Agreed. You can view PDFs quite easily today, that are attached to mail.

What I did, was I created a specific Yahoo email account - just for PDFs I would need/want to carry. Then I emailed them to that account. Since that account is never used for anything else, the files never expire.

Does anyone know when 2.0 will be available?

"Early July". By all accounts that actually means some time between the end of June and July 11.

That's what you make it sound like.

Isn't OS/X.x a .pdf venue?!?
