Apple Seeds iPhone OS 3.1 Beta 3 to Developers

Apple today seeded iPhone developers with iPhone OS 3.1 Beta 3, termed Build 7C116a. Apple also released a new version of the iPhone SDK 3.1, Beta 3 (Build 9M2808). Both downloads are available to registered developers through Apple's iPhone Dev Center.

Apple seeded the previous beta nearly two weeks ago, and it remains to be seen what new changes are present in the third beta version.

Apple is reportedly relying on new developer tools present in iPhone OS 3.1 to deploy augmented reality applications that are capable of overlaying live video from the iPhone's camera with real-time data.

I wonder if there will be any new features in 3.0. I hope there gets to be more voice commands.:)

Hopefully this means Google Sky Map will be just around the corner. I've got an app called Pocket Universe which works well with the compass and accelerometer, but it's got its own map of the sky so nothing is really "augmented." I believe that Google Sky Map actually uses an Android phone's camera.

I wish I hadn't updated to the beta OSes, but I'm glad that the high-pitch noise issue during video capture and voice memo recording was resolved in Beta 2.

I didn't realize Beta 2 will expire tomorrow, so I guess we're forced to update anyway.

Talk to AT&T! :rolleyes: Apple will just keep fine tuning 3.1 until AT&T is ready for them to release it and activate MMS and tethering finally.

I hope this really takes off. I think it'd be cool if they used it for other things than finding subways, etc... Like maybe pointing it up and it telling you constellation names and stuff like that. Should be some interesting stuff coming our way.

Can't wait to try it out!

I hope they fixed the graphics and performance issues I've been having.
