Now pointlessly enhanced with AI
After two week wait, WordPress for iPhone OS 3.0 is finally approved and available for download/update on iTunes Store.
Don’t be fooled with the version number embedded in the app itself. It might say version 1.21.1 and the iTunes App Store says version 1.3. All that matters is it is iPhone OS 3.0 compatible now.
It’s almost morning and I’m still awake. Lo and behold, Facebook App is now iPhone OS 3.0 compliant. OK, there’s nothing else going on before the dawn. Apparently it is some kinda Father’s Day today.
OK seriously, I need to get some sleep!

Updating devices to iPhone OS 3.0 GM Seed software. This version of iPhone

on your Authorized Test Devices, these Devices are permanently “locked”
into testing mode and cannot be restored to an earlier release of iPhone OS.
Bear this in mind before installing the software.
It is not known yet if iPhone OS 3.0 GM requires the iPhone to be registered for development. Stay tuned.
Please be careful if you’re downloading iPhone OS from any sites other than Apple’s own.

One week ahead of Worldwide Developer Conference 2009, Apple releases iTunes 8.2 and QuickTime 7.6.2.
iTunes 8.2 and QuickTime 7.6.2 are available for Mac OS X (Tiger and Leopard) and Windows (XP and Vista).

Early preview version of iTunes 8.2 was required to install iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 4 and Beta 5. Since then, no new iPhone OS 3.0 Beta has been released. It is estimated that iPhones OS 3.0 Beta 5 would expire sometimes late June 2009. That means a new build of iPhone OS 3.0 should be release in the near future. Possibly to coincide with WWDC 2009. The shipping version of iPhone OS 3.0 is expected to be released in mid-July along with the new iPhone hardware(s).
UPDATE:
iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 5 is expiring around June 19th, 2009. Get iPhone OS 3.0 Official Release through iTunes.
As we have reported before, iPhone OS 3.0 Beta carries an expiration date. For those who has iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 3 still on their phone might have some purple shock today. As the software hits the expiration date, the iPhone displays purple screen with instructions to connect to iTunes. When connected, iTunes warned that the software has expired and must be updated to the newer version. In this state, the iPhone is rendered useless except for emergency calls. The most current version is iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 5 as of May 9th, 2009. Based on the expiration date of previous builds, iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 5 will expire on June 1st, 2009.
May 6th, 2009. Wednesday evening, Apple released iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 5 (Build: 7A312g) along with the SDK and new build of iTunes 8.2. This marks the first time Apple breaks the release cycles between iPhone OS 3.0 Beta revisions. Up to Beta 4, the release was in two-week-interval.
In the meantime, Mac OS X 10.5.7 is rumored to see release as early as Friday May 8th, 2009. As we had found out before, note-syncing in iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 4 required Mac OS X 10.5.7.
iTunes 8.2 Pre-release (b10) is available for Mac OS X (Tiger and Leopard) and Windows XP/Vista (32-bit and 64-bit).
Some notes regarding iPhone OS 3.0 and iTunes 8.2:
This begs the question: Is Mac OS X 10.5.7 about to be released?
More will be added as they surfaced.
