iPhone 3.0 beta 2 is available to developers

Earlier today, iPhone OS 3.0 beta 2 was released to developers. The big news is that push notifications and in-app purchasing followed this release, giving developers a chance to try them out. Engadget has reported on significant instability with beta 1, so here's hoping that's been improved.

There's also good and bad news with this release. The good is that MMS and tethering are supported in beta 2. The bad news is that Apple asks developers not use them. It's like owning a Ferrari without wheels.

If you're a developer, you know how to get this. Let us know how it goes, and have fun.

I found this website that i linked to my name above actually found them in facebook, just click on my name to go there, dont worry, you dont need to be a facebook member. They had me up and running in no time and i now have complete access to their Apple developers account with my own user ID and password. They have links to the newest beta firmware for pc's and mac as well as iTunes 8.2 links. It was worth it, just my 2 cents for anyone who is in the same boat i was.

You need to re-apply your customized .ipcc in order to bring back MMS and other functionality, the iTunes restore doesn't include this.

Just installed it: the bluetooth A2DP issues seem to be gone. :)

In regards to future tethering, are there stripped down (mobile-like) versions of browsers that I can load on my laptop? If I'm using my iPhone as my internet connection, then I don't necessarily want the entire internet experience, i.e. I won't be going to video intensive websites.

If there is a "lite" browser, could someone recommend a good one? Or do I simply need to shut down a lot of settings on IE or Chrome?

Thanks.

The SDK does something with iTunes and effectively stops QuickPwn from detecting the device that is pluged in.

When running iTunes you'll see the device in the sidebar, then run QuickPwn and the device goes away momentarily, then reappears. But won't show up in QuickPwn.

So don't go installing the SDK if you're gonna want to jailbreak some devices.

anyone know if you can change the time for Require Passcode if you have an Exchange account setup on your phone? With 2.2.1 you can put it up to 15 as long as that conforms to your Companies security policies. With 3.0 beta 1 it could only be set to Immediately which is a huge pain.
