Apple Seeds iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 4 and iTunes 8.2 Pre-Release to Developers

Actually the keyboard was always transparent, ever since the initial 1.0 release. They just made it more transparent in this build.
iTunes 8.2 also seems to support DVD Gracenote information. I guess this means the end of DVD player in Snow Leopard, and a positioning of iTunes more towards Windows Media Player. With the Gracenote support, it could mean support towards indexing of your DVDs; I would be surprised if it allowed full-blown ripping of them a la Handbrake/ Mac the Ripper.
EDIT: Never mind, retroneo beat me to it. I still think a move to replace DVD player would be good - an all-in-one playing for dealing with all find of media would be an intuitive move - DVD player is a mild anachronism.

I first did the usual OPTION + UPDATE, it went fine. But my iPod App did not work on my 3G. 
I then did a full update and setup my 3G as a new iPhone. Now the iPod App works just fine
MMS (T-Mobile Germany) also worked after using the .IPCC Update, had to restart for the MMS Options to appear though.

I downloaded and upgraded iTunes before I tried to install Beta 4.
It put my phone on the pink "connect to iTunes" screen while updating, then before it finished verifying the phone with apple it stopped gave me an error and quit. Now I'm stuck on this screen. I can't restart my phone, it just goes back to the pink screen. If I connect it to iTunes is just says its in recovery mode and attempts to restore it but fails 'prepairing iPhone fore restore"
I've tried restarting my computer, restarting my phone. Nothing is working.
And yes, my number is registered with apple.
What do I do?
EDIT: Nevermind I forgot to try and restore by selecting what ipsw I restore with. I'm an idiot.

That's nice, Macs will finally be able to play blu-ray discs. However, I just got a brand new iMac 09. If they come out with a newer iMac 09 w/ Blu-ray drive later this year, I might stab myself.
I guess this is probably a joke, but calm down dude! If it means that much to you, sell it and buy a new one.
I'm sure you can live without it
For those experiencing 3004 error
I was getting the 3004 error on restore, too. It seems to be something to do with a web service call - changing my Internet connection seems to have allowed the install to go through. I also tried and failed several times on the Internet connection that eventually succeeded, so maybe there's a little bit of a problem at Apple's server end refusing connections, or something.
Persistence and a clear (non-firewalled) net connection seem to be the key.

Missing Cellular Data Network
Disappointing that the Cellular Data Network screen is still missing.
I need to enter the info in this screen to access the data (that I am paying for) but this bug doesn't seem to be a priority to Apple. (Or maybe for some reason they are probably protecting AT&T and forgetting there are other users other than those in the US)
I downloaded the iphone Config Util but I am not too sure what I need to do to send the info to the phone. If some kind sole could send me some detailed (step by step) info on how to do this it would be appreciated.
I also had trouble installing the update with the 3004 error and had to revert to my Vista pc to get it done. (But it might have been a firewall issue as mentioned previously...)
Edit - Worked out how to use the iPhone Config Util so have data again now...

is this bug STILL there?? man, that is annoying as hell that you lose the entire bottom bar of the keypad (with the dial button etc..)
here's a screeny from beta3

So far I haven't seen that bug, but in beta 3 that didn't happen all the time so it COULD still be there...
Traveling. Help, thoughts.....
Have a question.
I am traveling through Europe.
I have a dev. account want to update to beta 4 but not sure if I can do that since at home I am on ATT and out here ( right now on N Telenor(Norway))
any thoughts?
Would hate to lose my phone service out here.
Thanks in advance.

Beta 1 I got errors trying to option-update, and had to restore on both my iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G. Beta's 2 through 4 on my iPhone the update works. Beta 2-3 on my iPod touch worked and am currently most of the way through installing Beta 4 on it.
I noticed that in Beta 3. Not sure about Beta 1 or 2
It seems to be a bit nippier all round, but the iPod app is being fussy now, and its been fine before, it randomly started showing all songs with Unknown in all fields and no album art, had to select another song instead of skipping to stop it.
I'm happy they seem to have fixed a problem with landscape texting, where you couldn't use the magnifying glass on any other lines but the first in the text, though!

I had a 3002 error. Seems like it was something to do with a firewall at my end, and possibly a service not responding problem at Apple's validation servers at Apple's end. Persistence paid off for me.
EDIT: I've just had to do the restore again (for unrelated reasons), and it failed. Then I changed network interfaces (dropped off my corporate ethernet and on to the open wireless network), tried again and now it works. So, it almost certainly isn't Apple servers and almost certainly has to be something to do with the network request getting through from my end. Let's hope Apple improve the messaging in iTunes on this before it goes live, though.
