Apple releases 2.1 Beta 3 to developers

They can be installed but they will not run !!!
How impressed was I .... ?

So can applications still be installed from the app store when running beta 3?

What's with the image? Couldn't you get a newer one that didn't have cingular as the carrier?

Did you guys said anywhere that with 2.0.1 we can watch video in landscape mode both ways ?

I just noticed that. Maybe it was part of 2.0, I don't know I always watch my videos on the same side.

Erica Sadun points out that you *CAN* restore iPhones to before 2.1 by putting it in DFU mode (see her post about it) and restoring it the normal way.

As a developer who COULD have access to this, I still can't quite understand how this is very useful when they don't allow apps to continue to be submitted and they basically warn me that I can't go downgrade. I'd love to toy around with some of the new features, but unless I had the cash to buy a bunch of extra devices (and I don't -- and are there really many developers that do around here?) this just makes me more annoyed at all these restrictions Apple is imposing.

WHY can't some registered and paid developer access these beta releases?? What'd I pay for anyway?! Come on Apple...I'm a fanboy for sure, but lately I'm getting more than a little upset with your actions!

"Of course, we don't know what's been changed in this release."

TUAW doesn't know because you didn't download it, or because you are bound by the NDA not to discuss it?
