Apple Posts Revised iPhone NDA Agreement and Readies iPhone 2.2 Beta 2 Firmware
Apple has posted a new iPhone developer agreement as previously promised. One of the developer agreements has been posted publicly, though another is only available to registered developers. The new agreement appears to limit what is considered "confidential information" primarily to Apple's pre-release software:
Meanwhile there have been some mixed reports that Apple has already seeded iPhone 2.2 Firmware Beta 2. If not available now, it appears the update will be available soon for iPhone developers.
iPhone 2.2 Beta 1 had included frameworks for a number of new features including Google Street View and Japanese Emoji icons.
Update: Apple also opened official developer forums at http://devforums.apple.com/.
You agree that any Apple pre-release software (including related documentation and materials) and any information disclosed by Apple to you in connection with Apple Events or Paid Content (defined below) will be considered and referred to as Apple Confidential Information.
Apple also restricts "Apple Events" and "Paid Content" which appears to include premium content such as WWDC (which has always been under Non Disclosure). The change is intended to allow the publication of iPhone tutorials, books and collaboration that had previously been restricted by Apple's original agreement.Meanwhile there have been some mixed reports that Apple has already seeded iPhone 2.2 Firmware Beta 2.

Does anyone know the actual days of the week that all the previous firmwares were released on? I ask this wondering if Apple has selected a day that they usually update the firmware on, kinda like they do Tuesdays for hardware and new products. Also, I have a feeling we will see 2.2 either before the end of the month or in the first couple days of November. I agree with others that have posted in the forums that this long wait (late since the end of Sept.) means that Steve is making sure this firmware is top notch. This thing will have little to no problems and I have a weird feeling we might see another feature that hasn't been mentioned yet. It's coming time for holiday season and as Apple did last year, they might be looking to add functionality that adds more appeal to potential adopters. Any thoughts?

Well it's a good thing Apple is keeping up with these iUpdates... I doubt copy/paste will be part of 2.2 though. Still seems far off to me. :(
