Apple Posts iPhone SDK Beta 8, Firmware 5A345, iTunes 7.7

Apple has released iPhone SDK Beta 8 along with a special pre-release version of iTunes 7.7 which is necessary to load the iPhone 2.0 firmware on the 3G iPhone itself. This also suggests that Apple may soon allow third-party software and the App Store to be tested.

The SDK release is focused on bug fixes rather than introducing new features.

You can download the new SDK Beta 8 through the iPhone Dev Center.


iTunes 7.7 features:
- Use MobileMe to have push email, push calendars, push contacts, and bookmarks delivered over the air to your iPhone.
- Sync all or selected applications

[Update] iPhone 2.0 Firmware 5A345 has also been released!
