Apple has seeded some iPhone developers with a new beta iPhone firmware for testing. The new build is iPhone OS 2.2 beta 1. Beyond "compatibility testing", there are no other differences noted by Apple. It's not clear yet if the new builds have any further implementation of background push notifications that have been promised by Apple.

The latest purported email from Steve Jobs claims that this feature is "running a bit late":

We're running a bit late. We want to get it 100% right the first time.

Steve

Apple released the 2.1 Firmware to the public on September 12th. iPhone 2.1 addressed a number of bugs and stability issues with the iPhone and App Store.

so at least the push notifications are coming, sooner or later

at least apple is making sure they don't mess up

yep. hopefully sooner rather than later though

yeah, i guess

but they gotta get it right

they can't mess up

well, sometimes everyone messes up. hopefully they won't this time though

lookig forward to this update. Man, what other phone gets updates like this?

that is cool, no other phone gets updated like this

that's right. that's something else that separates the iphone from everyone else

and that's why the iPhone is selling. So good

good
