Any word on features besides bug/pink fixes?(Specifically in regards to better integration with IB)? ALSO: Really hopes it fixes stability issues. Really getting tired of 10810 errors.

Apple has seeded a new version of the iPhone 2.0 Beta OS for developers enrolled in the beta iPhone Developer Program. Also available today to all ADC members is an updated version of the iPhone SDK.

The updated iPhone beta firmware, version 5A240d, includes a number of fixes and new features centered on Exchange support, including the additional abilities of receiving and accepting meeting invitations, searching for contacts in the global address list, auto-complete email addresses in the global address list, and setting up an exchange account using Autodiscovery (Exchange 2007).

The final version of the firmware is expected in June as a free update for iPhone users and for a small fee for iPod Touch users.

Today's iPhone OS beta replaces the build originally seeded to developers, which incidentally had timed out today.

well i'm glad to see updates with new features.....looking forward to watching the features list continue to grow.

elppa · Apr 8, 2008, 05:57 PM

They are moving at a furious pace!

longofest · Apr 8, 2008, 06:00 PM

At this early point in the game, its counter-productive to get caught up in how many bugs/fixes Apple is putting out, but I'll note here that there is still a substantial bug list.

Of course, they got a couple of months to iron it all out.

Awesome, Contacts search! Seriously, I got so many people with the same first name in my address book that it's getting ridiculous to scroll up and down. I'd love to have the little photo thumbnail next to the name, too

Great! I have over 2000 contacts on my phone, and it's a pain to remember every single name in there (like above, there are about 20 people that share the first name "Bob".

That explains the spotlight icon in the contacts list that was shown at the SDK event.

New features are great...I hope that we keep seeing more of them. Global contact search is great, and very much needed my company has over 10,500 contacts in our global lists. I can't wail until June for the iPhone 2.0 update.

Peel · Apr 8, 2008, 06:26 PM

Are they still calling it 1.2? or have they upped the version number to 2.0 on this one?

It was 2.0 in the previous version.

It's good to see Apple working this fast. My only gripe (and its minor) is that each build of the SDK has to be downloaded in its entirety. And I get that it is still in the beta stages. I just hope that later when its finalized, patches will be available.

Nice catch! Good to see that it supports HSDPA, and is a 5mega pixel chip.

It runs fine on my PM G5 since SDK1.

Just use the standard installer.
Then open the packages folder and install all the packages which are starting with iPhone.
Make sure you select the Developer folder before you install!!!
Run DiskUtility and repair permissions.
Restart your Mac and you are ready to compile iPhone apps and running the simulater.

How does a new iPhone SDK fix problems with your MBP?

Oh wait, he's talking about the OSX software update.
