Third iPhone beta SDK is live

Good news iPhone developer boys and girls. A brand new iPhone Beta SDK just went live. This is release #3 of the SDK for those of you who have been keeping count. No word yet as to what changes this new SDK brings but we're betting on two things: First, that it re-vitalizes all those PSOD iPhones and second that it will fix all those user 501 errors we've been hearing about from ticked-off developers.

The new release is reportedly just 1.4 GB--thinner than honking 2+GB initial first release.

Just updated to 2.0, iTunes store icon disappeared and NONE of the DRM content in iTunes will sync. Complains I have an OLD version of the phone software. Anyone else have this problem?

Just downloaded and installed the beta 3 SDK.

Good news: the new release is much better integrated with Interface Builder. Just double-click on the MainMenu.xib file (auto-created for a new project) and you're away. This stuff wasn't done in beta 2.

The bad news: Once again, all the Apple-supplied sample projects have stopped working, and you've got to re-download them all again from the Apple web site. Sigh...

The beta 3 SDK (9m2158a) is 1.4Gb, previous versions were 2.1 or 2.2Gb.

Now either Apple has got *really* good at optimising their code, or a whole lot of stuff has been removed...

Is getting the SDK really a problem? I went to the iPhone Dev Center a couple weeks ago and signed up (I previously had the free ADC with the same email). I was notified immediately and have access to all the videos and information and the SDK at no cost. Now I just wish I had a Mac because I want to develop an app for iPhone. I've been holding out for that big fancy redesign but by the time I get it, apps will already be sold and I'm sure someone will make my app. :(

Yes, I'm an Apple fanatic without a Mac. *cries*

Ok, I feel stupid. You are referring to the actual iPhone firmware. Sorry.
