Apple Seeds 2nd Beta of iPhone 2.1 Firmware to Developers
"This is the second beta of the iPhone SDK targeting iPhone OS 2.1, including bug fixes to iPhone OS as well as an early implementation of the Apple Push Notification Service API. This API is not yet integrated with a live push server."
Apple has not announced a timeframe for the 2.1 release, but the included "Push Notification Service" was promised by September.Despite early hints of turn-by-turn GPS and Copy/Paste, further investigation indicates that these may not have been new findings in the 2.1 firmware (and had also existed in 2.0). References to a new iPod Touch model, however, suggests an iPod Touch hardware upgrade in the coming months.
Not all registered iPhone developers have access to the seeds. The first seed was only available to iPhone developers who had been accepted into the program prior to July 11th (~4000 individuals).

Today I went from full signal 3G to full signal GPRS back to full signal 3G in a matter of feet.
Of course I'll probably have replaced my once-beloved iPhone (I've had it over a year), since I need a um... phone.

Is this saying turn-by-turn and Copy/paste is NOT in the 2.1 firmware or it is not NEW, meaning it's in previous version firmwares? Confusing. Also, does mentioning a possible new touch model related to the previous sentence about GPS/copy-paste? Is the comment insinuating that a new touch will have turn by turn and copy paste?

C'mon buddy... read what arn is saying.
"Despite early hints turn-by-turn GPS and Copy/Paste, further investigation indicates that these may not have been new findings in the 2.1 firmware."
Whatever references people found to copy/paste, or turnbyturn in the first beta of 2.1, were not new to 2.1 period.
"References to a new iPod Touch model however suggests an iPod Touch hardware upgrade in the coming months."
References to a new iPod model (iPod1,2) were found in the first beta of 2.1, and this just reiterates that finding.
C'mon buddy...
C'mmon "buddy" stop being arn's night in shining armor and just read what I'm saying. 1) if copy/paste wasn't NEW to 2.1 then what was the first firmware it was found in? 2) why mention the new touch in the same paragraph segment as the copy/paste comment?
I hope this version does, but I am not optimistic.
Apple's days of quality are long gone, sadly. This is the last time I will be an early adopter of their products. I am tired of getting burned by Apple's horrific quality of late.

yea I definitely follow you. I had to reread what he said too. But I'm pretty sure he just worded it poorly. I mean clearly we don't have copy/paste in 2.0... so... i think we can bet it's not in 2.1 period. it's not new to it, but it's not in it at all... haha.
