iPhone OS 3.0 beta 4 and iTunes 8.2 pre-release available

Apple has been churning out the releases of betas for the latest iPhone OS, 3.0, on a bi-weekly basis since it was announced and there's no slowing down. Just today, iPhone OS 3.0 beta 4 has become available, except this time it brought a friend; iTunes version 8.2 (pre-release) has become available to developers, and is required to install the new mobile firmware.

What delicious new changes are we looking at here? In terms of the iPhone OS, you've got your usual fix of speed improvements and enhancements. There is something new, though; in the 'Settings' of iPhone OS, the new 'Store' entry now features your account details, rather than a screen with nothing but 'Store' on it. If there are any other changes that turn up, expect this article to be updated accordingly, so keep yours eyes peeled.

iTunes 8.2 pre-release does not have any real noticeable changes so far, but there is something interesting; MacRumors pointed out that in the legal section of the software, there are now references to the Blu-Ray technology, meaning that the recent storage media may be supported by a Mac near you in the not-too-distant future.



Enjoy!
