Apple seeds iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 5 and new iTunes 8.2 pre-release to developers
Thursday, May 07, 2009 - 12:41 AM EST

"Apple [has] seeded the fifth beta version of iPhone OS 3.0 (Build 7A312g) and a new version of the iTunes 8.2 pre-release to developers. As with the previous beta, iTunes 8.2 is required to install the latest iPhone 3.0 beta software. No new features in the fifth beta version have been revealed at this early time," Eric Slivka reports for Mac Rumors.

Wednesday night's "release is a bit of a surprise, coming just eight days after the release of the fourth beta when Apple had consistently been releasing beta versions to developers at two-week intervals," Slivka reports.

Apple had consistently been releasing beta versions to developers at two-week intervals

uh, if a first developmental release is alpha, the second is beta

what is release four, five and six? still beta's?

Shouldn't it be charlie, delta and echo?

can only count to two?

@ Junior mints...

I hope you're kidding... if not, a little search on the internet would have answered your question.

Alpha and Beta are stages of development, not individual releases.

Will iTunes 8.2 finally bring porn to the iTunes store?

If you need help getting your UDID activated on a developers account i found the website that i linked to my name above actually found them in facebook, just click on my name to go there. They had me up and running in no time and i now have complete access to their Apple developers account with my own user ID and password. It was worth it, just my 2 cents for anyone who is in the same boat i was.

You might want to spend a little less time handling yourself and a little more time in spelling class.

Do you really care when people spellll tings wrogn on da massage bords? Geez. Get a lyfe!!!

May 07, 09 - 07:59 am Comment from: Spell good

The people who care about those that spell good are the type that play with their appendages and not with women. It's a proven fact. Studies have been done in the lab.

Apple will bring porn to iTunes. That is fact. there is too much money to ignore

I'm always a bit amazed at the folks who will vigorously defend poor spelling on the internet.

I can understand *accepting* it as a fact of life, and only pointing it out when necessary... but I sure can't understand *defending* it so strongly.

But then, I can't understand people who are proud of their ignorance either, so maybe it's just me...

May 07, 09 - 12:25 pm Comment from: Willie G

@ Gabriel,

No, it's not just you... the sad fact is that the world is completely overrun by morons. I'm not sure if there are more of them then their used to be, or if it only seems that way since the internet gave them all a platform to spew their idiocy. I am also unsure as to whether or not they are proud, or just too stupid to understand how stupid they are.

One thing I am certain of is that in the event that elections were held to determine their leader, 'Macentosh Guy' would have a great platform with his completely absurd suggestion that Apple would ever even contemplate selling porn on iTunes.

May 07, 09 - 06:26 pm Comment from: Macentosh Guy

@Willie G

you sir are wrong. There are tens of billions of dollars awaiting Apple's coffers the minute they put porn on iTunes. It is fact that sooner or later, Apple will revolutionize porn the way they did with music. That is fact.

So iPhone 3.0 Beta 5 here we go..Another BETA before the Real Deal !
- MMS option gone for at&t;.
- No tethering anymore.
- Much Stable compared to Beta 1- Beta 4.
- Transition from Landscape to portrait mode while Texting still a little buggy

I am Apple Developer myself and if anyone wants to test the new iPhone 3.0 Beta 5 Firmware, send me an email.

I do the registrations my self and have a few slots available for OS 3.0 Beta 5 and I charge 10.
You’re UDID will be registered within 1 hour if you contact me between 11am - 11pm Pacific Time.
This is for iPhone user's who want to use the iPhone 3.0 Beta Firmware on their existing iPhone's.
