iPhone firmware 2.2 released to selected developers

Yes, it’s happened: The new 2.2 firmware rumors and releases. Apple has released the first beta for firmware 2.2 to select developers. Following on the 8 betas for 2.0 (released July 11, which needed a bit of work, it turned out), and 4 for 2.1 (released September 12, which changed from feature bump to much needed stability patch), 2.2 will hopefully bring us a little Notification Server features, and who knows what else?

iPhone 2.2

Most want cut and paste, turn-by-tunr GPS, Flash support, and MMS support, along with maybe a refund for App Store apps that don’t perform as expected (aka Duds). Maybe a dream with that last item?

Macrumors states:
‘The new version is labeled iPhone OS 2.2 beta 1 and is accompanied by a new beta of the iPhone SDK (build 9M2611). Beyond “compatibility testing”, there are no other differences noted by Apple.’

The typical NDA effects will keep those select few tight-lipped, no doubt, but hopefully some deep-delving coders will “accidently” leak a few goodies for us anyway.

    I added the 2.2 firmware to my blog release date polls section. If you have a second pop on over and take your guess as to when you think 2.2 will be released to the public.
