Apple has stated that they “might” fix this in a later seed. Basically, what happened, was that they killed backwards compatibility with anything between 1.0 – 3.0 beta 2! This is a big issue for anyone that has updated to iPhone OS 3.0 beta 3.

Apple has also stated that you cannot develop any applications with 3.0 beta 3 for 2.2.1 consumption. Like I said, big issue here. Almost all developers are on 3.0 right now, so this could get a little ugly.

No one is exactly sure what Apple changed to kill off all compatibility with 3.0 beta 2 and under, but I do have some theories. I believe Apple must have reflashed the bootloader or something in the boot sequence (or DFU) which killed off backwards compatibility.

There is a baseband update in the firmware, but I know this is not the cause. I know this because iPod touch users are also subject to this issue of incompatibility with anything 3.0 beta 2 or below. As you all may know, the iPod touch has no baseband (because it really doesn’t need one, because it doesn’t make calls over the cell network).

So I will keep you all informed on this. So if you are on iPhone OS 3.0 beta 2, I suggest downgrading and abandoning the 3.0 beta ship until they get this resolved.

Alright everyone, it’s been a while since we’ve posted anything and I think its time to let you all get some of the little tid bits that come are way that haven’t made the cut to be on the site.

So here we go!

The first has been 100% confirmed, this is that AT&T is doubling the speeds of their 3G network on a massive scale. They are increasing their theoretical max speed of 3.6mb/s to a theoretical 7.2mb/s.

So why is this so important? Well, AT&T has increased their network every time Apple is about to launch a new iPhone. In 2006 – 2007 AT&T increased their EDGE network on a massive scale (remember the original iPhone is EDGE only), then in 2008, AT&T also massively increased their 3G network (to accommodate the iPhone 3G) and now, another massive increase!

We have also received word that the next iPhone will have a new chipset that will support 7.2mb/s on 3G. So I believe that we can pretty much confirm that rumor. The next iPhone will be way faster than the iPhone 3G, (data speed wise).

The next little tid bit is a new camera for the iPhone. Apple has placed orders for tons of 3.2 mega pixel cameras. Everyone with an iPhone will know that the camera is one of the weakest points of the iPhone. I can pretty much confirm this as well.

Next up, a MacBook Tablet?! Yes ladies and gentlemen. Apple has placed orders for 10 inch touchscreens from Wintec. Now Wintec is the company that produces the touchscreens for the iPhone and iPod touch so we may be seeing an iPhone OS enabled tablet soon. Apple has ordered these new screens for the end of the third quarter of this year.

I do not expect an announcement at WWDC of a new tablet, but rather later in the year at a special event.

Next is that China Unicom has confirmed that they will be getting exclusive rights to sell the iPhone. That opens up the market to 2 BILLION more people!!! WOW!

The next is one about (my favorite person) Steve Jobs. Sources are indicating that he is doing better and will most likely be at WWDC 2009 giving the keynote on June 8th.

Sources also indicate that he is also actively leading the new MacTablet project, iPhone 3rd Gen project, and the upcoming Mac OS X Snow Leopard. So I hope to see him there at 9am (pacific time/ 11am central time) on stage.

These next couple are new features in iPhone OS 3.0, first up is video recording. Video recording can pretty much be a confirmed thing. More references have been found in iPhone OS beta 3.

Next is voice recognition, this is another (pretty much) confirmed feature. Tons of references have been found in iPhone OS 3.0 beta 3. All of these, however, refer to “SB”, we all know what that means, voice recognition will be a SpringBoard.app attachment. (Along with Spotlight).

So it seems that Apple is now using SpringBoard as a, well, spring board to propel 3.0 into greatness.

Aright everyone, these are all of the (worth noting) little tid bits for you guys. We will keep you all updated on some pretty cool stuff that we are going to do for you guys in the cumming weeks.

Hey guys, this is a leak from some very reliable sources that Mac OS X Snow Leopard will be announced by Steve Jobs himself on June 8th. (Please see Steve Jobs Returns In June for more info), and at this same time, I also expect Steve Jobs to announce and reveal the new iPhone at WWDC 2009 (not yet confirmed by Apple) on June 8, 2009 at 9am sharp (Pacific Time).

I am revealing that the new iPhone is going to be launched in July, and that Mac OS X Snow Leopard will be released a few weeks after the new iPhone (or iPhones) launch in July.

I guess the only way of really telling is by waiting until Apple CEO comes on stage and reveals the long awaited products!

Please stick with us here at Limited Edition iPhone and wait for our WWDC 2009 coverage!
