Apple posts iPhone OS 3.1 Beta 3 for developers
Apple has just released Beta 3 of iPhone OS 3.1 for iPhone developers. As this remains under NDA, I cannot post any details about changes to the OS. The updates include the OS for the device, as well as the SDK used to develop iPhone applications. If you're a registered iPhone developer, head on over to the iPhone Dev Center to download your updates.

Here's a *bit* more information for those of us who aren't developers:

I'm sure it's just as informative to those who don't even own an iPhone or iPod touch, but this is an all-Apple blog, so you'll have to take it or leave it.

Yes, I get that. But still, I've always seen these posts with more information generally.

A note for people running the beta. If you have beta 2 installed on your device, you must update to beta 3 by midnight tonight or your device will get the PSOD..

Confirmed! and with video too... iPhone 3.1 beta 3 allows 3GS owners the ability to copy and paste videos:

Like copy/paste for images in iPhone 3.0, this allows you to send copies of your videos without the compression that goes along with the Share function. Just pick a video, tap and hold for “copy”, switch to email, tap and hold for paste.

Looks like Beta 3 got rid of the vibrate warning when you move icons.

Aww, and I was getting all excited with the extra vibrations...

It has also been confirmed (and click on link for screenshot) that iPhone beta 3.1 will also feature a Data Tethering Counter:

Add in last months announcement that beta 3.1 enabled MMS officially and maybe, just maybe, AT&T is finally living up to what they promised...

Does anyone noticed that every time Apple has released a seed for Snow Leopard that the release a seed for 3.1?

Not that this will matter to anyone besides myself (but its the internet, so :p)
I recently used my iPhone for tethering for the greater part of the weekend because I still had 3.1b1, so that was great, I was glad I didn't upgrade. But today at like 5 my b1 expired, giving me the purple screen. I was about to download and install 3.1b2, but look at that, a new beta.
So I'm happy :)
The end.
