No. It means there were too many people downloading it and Apple decided to stage the bandwidth. I'm still downloading it.

Apple has never done that before. And I downloaded at 10mb/s so not a lot of PPL were dl/ing..
 
It seems to me that something just doesn't add up. With some of the stock apps missing from the iPad, 3.2 doesn't seem to be a huge leap with features from what the general public knows. It seems like to me it could be an OS to hold the devices over until a big 4.0 release this summer.
 
Wouldnt it be strange if OS 4.0 was not introduced in March? I need my iPad now with an updated UI. I think?

I think the common understanding is the iPad will come w/ OS 3.2 in March & 4.0 will be released at WWDC in June/July with new iPhones. As of yet, Apple hasn't released radically different UIs for the OS at all; pretty much the same since 1.0 from what I can tell. A few small changes, but not many. However, I'm more of a "Let's wait & see" kind of guy.

Possibly but I've personally seen builds of OSX get on my list before others have seen it. Maybe that's just me.
Also I have a T-4 with 50MBs and my d/l was only running at 800k.

It could also mean 10.6.3 is coming out sometime today and they pulled the SDK so they could put out the OSX update first. Even though the system requirements for Snow Leopard was 10.6.2.
 
If you're talking about Universal, it's all over other sites already.

Well that and something else. also, the beta WAS removed due to a bug, because I seem to have found it already and its pretty major. I really dont know how apple could've missed that one...
 
i'm actually begining to get the very distict feeling that the MBP is of literally zero priority to apple as it is becoming clearer and clearer that their quest to battle with nintendo and sony in the hand held gaming market with the ipad is a HUGE deal in cupertino.
Based on Apple's historical financials and the importance of their notebook revenue to their bottom line, I think your interpretation of Apple's priorities is completely off the mark.

Most likely, Apple is encountering supply constraints that are causing some delays. That said, a March or April release of upgraded notebooks would not be unusual with past history.
 
In the "SDK" Logo in the first post, look closely under the "K". There is an icon for XCode and an icon for Interface Builder. Has that always been in the "SDK" logo?
Yes, it has. Ever since they moved to the spherical one (SDK 3.1 beta).

It would be awesome, but I can't imagine Apple can reasonably put XCode on the iPad!?!
Not reasonably, no. Xcode (and the entire development tools suite) is rather tightly bound to the frameworks on Mac OS X.

But every other icon in that SDK logo is an iPhone App icon.
No, some aren't, including Instruments, iPhone Simulator, iPhone Apps for Accessories.
 
I think the most likely scenario is that the iPad will run 3.2 at launch while the iPhone will continue to be 3.1.
4.0 will likely come in the summer and will reunite the two codebases into a single stream (albeit different builds) for both iPad and iPhone.
 
does anyone else think it looks a aweful lot like the mock the week logo?

Anyone care to share the link to the beta 3 download since we can only see beta 2 up there?

i really hope you are right and I am wrong., but old jobsie-poohs dosn't like to even say 'macbook' these days..
 
I think the photos tab is fake or only when you use the camera accessory. Why does 9to5Mac not show it.
