Could someone perhaps get the beta onto a mirror?

I second that.

There's an NDA, you know? People aren't really allowed to post the beta since it's only for developers.

Yep I do. :D

So is there a new iPhone coming out in June?

[monacelli]

Hopefully there will be a way to unlock the mms feature for us 1st gen owners. I have t-mobile so the 1st gen was all I needed.

I was expecting way less myself, I'm quite surprised that they covered everything (or nearly?). Like, if they didn't include stuff, they mentioned exactly why, and the rest they added it, and this period of questions at the end is awesome.

And well, yeah most likely a new iPhone in June. Revised hardware comes along with revised software for this device it seems :)

Developers will be so glad, they won't even want to go develop for Blackberry and Palm (ok I know I am exagerating A LOT, but you get the idea, tthe dev kit seems really awesome)

Where is a good place to discuss iPhone 3.0 OS?

I wanted to know if there are any update to the Firmware of iPhone. Better reception as well as connections.

Do we finally have an API to allow Voice Recording of Phone Conversation? I can not believe A phone as advance as iphone is lacking this feature.

the fact is that nobody knows, and knowing apple they wont tell until the actual release date which might or might not happen in june.

Today it come , but just a beta version. Final version of 3.0 will release on June 2009.

Upset a minute

Been playing with the 3.0 beta for a bit. Very cool.

[evo0o]

Been fooling around the beta on my friend's phone, must say it's a great leap forward. Copy and paste!? Finally!

Looking forward to June, finalized 3.0, maybe even a new iPhone?

[tomwarren Veteran]

I wanna load 3.0 but at the same time I want a stable reliable phone so I think I may wait till June to be honest

[crazzyyfool]

To those who have loaded iPhone OS 3.0 on their phones. Are you able to restore back to OS 2.2.1? According to Apple OS 3.0 locks the hardware and you can't restore. Is this correct?

Note. Dont think about getting this and installing it to your iPhone if you dont have a developers account. You will get this message when trying to install it.

Note, apparently its possible to downgrade. I have the link but it might not work, so I wont post it.

Happened to me.. I'd not registered this phone. Scary moment :D

Regards the downgrading, I guess DFU mode combined with some of the jailbreak tools will probably get it done.

I love the fact that apple is making the new OS for the iPhone, but for me - its usless unless it can be jailbroken since im on a 2G iPhone in Australia - if I was to update to even the beta id be network locked to AT&T - which Australia doesn't even have lol - giving me a usless phone :p

So even though im a beta junkie, i'm going to have to give this a skip and unfortunitly wait until it can be broken apart for people in my situation.

AppleInsider have posted their initial impressions here.

You just need someone with a dev account to add your UDID to their account. Each DEV account supports up to 100 iPhones:)

There are a bunch of people on other forums who will add you to their dev account for a $1 donation.

Knowing how Apple counts "new features", I am not holding my breath besides summary of what we saw today.

I can see Phil Schiller proudly declaring Cut-Copy-Paste are 3 new features. YEY!

This is what I'm thinking, too. When Apple said that Leopard had "300 new features," what they meant was that the new version of iTunes accounted for about 20 features alone.

Thus, out of these "100 new features," I'm sure every small improvement is a feature in its own right.

[PyX]

Well just look at their last slide in their keynote. I counted about 30 features and they seemed all different to me. And they didn't even include the ones they talked about in the keynote (landscape, in app store, ...)

100 features or not, they added a BUNCH of new stuff and version 3.0 will bring the OS even closer to perfection. Obviously it'll never be "perfect" in the absolute way, but it'll rock a couple of other phones I know !

been playing with 3.0 for some time now, loving the new features but hot damn is this buggy (Beta.. dirr)

I love cut, copy, paste & Spotlight!

[PL_ Veteran]

Is it just me thinking this or does anyone else think we may see more 3.0 features at WWDC? I remember some 2.0 features last year that hadn't been shown at the preview.

I love the fact that they've added a full GPS, copy & paste and MMS. Those things should have been there from the start but it's good to see them now. However, I don't like the fact that this doesn't work on a iPhone 1G.

The only funtionality first gen iPhone users miss out on is MMS and A2DP support.
