Apple seeds iOS 4.2 beta 3 to Developers.

iOS 4.2 beta 3 arrived a few hours earlier than expected today. Apple has been sending out notices to registered iOS developers about the availability of the latest beta of iOS 4.2 this Afternoon.

As usual thanks to a three-letter-abbreviation that is not an acronym known as NDA, details are scarce. Apple is working out the bugs in iOS 4.2 to meet the unspecified November 2010 self-imposed deadline.

iOS 4.2 beta 3 is also accompanied by iTunes 10.1 beta 2, available for Mac OS X and Windows (x86 and x64).

As expected Apple seeds iOS 4.2 beta 2 to Developers today. In addition to that, Apple also seeds iTunes 10.1 beta for Mac OS X and Windows (x86 and x64) in conjunction of  iOS 4.2 beta 2.

As usual, information is a bit scarce due to a three letter abbreviation known as NDA.

If you are not using your iDevices for testing, please do not beg your friends or download it from unscrupulous site. Beta softwares known to have some bugs and iOS 4.2 beta is no exception.

Do not pay any sites for iOS beta. If you feel like getting the iOS beta, join iOS Developer Program for $99/year.
