iPhone / iPod Touch Firmware 2.1 Info
Apple beta testing iPhone 2.1 firmware, adding more GPS features | Gear Live
Quote:
We just got word that Apple has released a beta version of iPhone OS 2.1 to developers. Along with the 2.1 firmware, a new version of the iPhone SDK has been seeded as well, but the new SDK cant be used for submitting applications to the App Store at the moment.
A few new things we are seeing in this version of the software is the addition of a bunch of Core Location features that track the direction you are heading, and the speed you are traveling. Looks like we might see a turn-by-turn GPS app after all on the iPhone 3G.

Anyone know how to get in the beta program?
Beta 2.1 is probably more stable than final 2.0

Hurray, bring it on Apple. We've only scratched the surface so far.

You apply, after you're accepted you pay the princely sum of $99USD and you're in. Oh, and I'd imagine you'd have to actually supply some apps at some stage.  |

Yeah I didn't think the iPhone developer program had anything to do with the beta testing of firmwares.
