Perhaps his pompous arrogance, condescending nature, snide derisions, and generally tendency toward spewing misinformation, while whining incessantly, might all, collectively, be playing a role here.

If you're complaining that you're seeing news about the next SDK then you're clearly on here too often. And your bitching about just makes it less valuable for people wanting to finding out more. I found it useful as it meant I could go and download it sooner rather than later.
+1 for this
I might care about the final release, but unless there is something significant in there then I don't think 90% of people care. Those who do will be aware of the release anyway; and those people will also know about the changes.
Page 2 news at best.
If someone were posting some new information about the beta like maybe some undocumented new features or something I'd be more interested.
In the past as new features were discovered the post is usually updated with the new information, the original post doesn't have it so it can be posted asap.
iPhone OS 3.2 not for the iPhone?
Are we sure that the new iPhone OS 3.2 will even be released for the iPhone?
One question that keeps puzzling me is this: OS 3.2 is clearly an adoption of the iPhone OS for the iPad. This is what the iPad will be shipping with when it goes on sale in April. But most of us also expect to see a new hardware revised iPhone 4 with a new OS 4.0 in midsummer, right?
So, the question is this: Will the iPhone OS live as one OS on two devices henceforth (three actually, including the iPod Touch), or will we see different OS versions with different update cycles for the iPhone and the iPad going forward? Are we looking at an Androidish fragmentation of the iPhone OS here? Hmm.
If assumptions are correct, that we will see iPhone OS 4.0 released on the iPhone 4 this summer, wouldn't that also mean that the OS would be updated to ver.4.0 for the iPad at the same time? If this comes to pass, iPhone OS 3.2 will be nothing more than a short lived interim OS version, created specifically for the iPad, but never intended to go on the iPhone.
An iPhone OS version, not intended for the iPhone, and designed for a life span of only three months? Is that really Apple's plan with iPhone OS 3.2 ?
Sounds a bit odd, doesn't it?
I can imagine that Apple had to come up with this interim solution of an OS 3.2 for the iPad, because OS 4.0 would reveal too much about the changes coming in iPhone 4.
Your thoughts on this, gentlemen?

I see what you're getting at, but I think it could mean just that: You will be able to make an emergency call from your 3G iPad.
Anyway, the question still stands: IF iPhone OS 3.2 is an official update for the iPhone, does that mean that all iPhone owners will have to update their OS again in just three months when OS 4.0 comes out? It just strikes me as odd, given all the documentation and support issues related to a new OS update.
You must be new here.
Every single one of those statements is false...well, except for the profit part, which is how we stay in business.
Our editors don't have time to hang out in the forums, much less Forum Spy. We rely on a variety of sources, and give credit in every instance where possible. If something was posted here first and we don't give credit for it, it means we didn't see it here. If no credit is given in our article, in almost every case it's been based on an anonymous submission to us.
Glad we are heading back towards some discussion related to the original topic. I think iphone os 4.0 will merge them back together and they did this because OS 4.0 was not ready for the ipad launch. There will be one OS going forward albeit with perhaps different UI's to account for the larger screen.
