Has there been a significant uptick in terms of devs getting letters letting them into the AppStore? I havent seen any evidence of that, and I still haven't got mine....

Edit: It also seems that B8 is the "final" release. Though Apple isn't calling it that (clarification: its the final SDK revision, but probably not the final XCode rev because IB is still not ready)

Copy/Paste especially.

And the Nike Fit + App for the iPhone would be nice. And a pedometer. And a bunch of other stuff. But I'm not asking for much. :D

Is this new v2.0 available with the SDK for anyone or is it still just for those who have been accepted as developers?

dont bet on it, dont think apple would suddenly release copy/paste UI so close to the final release without testing it out completely, and without letting the developers prepare for it (if the UI requires any changes to the apps.

With all of the iPhone Copy-Cats out already it seems like Apple is the one behind this time (even with iPhone version 2).
