iPhone OS 3.1 Beta Released to Developers

iPhone OS 3.0 and the iPhone 3GS are scarcely out the door, and already developers have been seed with a new beta version (3.1) of the OS. Interesting that they've already reached beta status so quickly after the 3.0 release.

Here's what's in the 3.1 beta, according to The iPhone Blog.

• Voice Control works over Bluetooth (let's be honest, it was a major omission in Voice Control, but probably done for time-to-market reasons).
  
• Non-destructive video editing; trimming a video no longer overwrites the original but instead gives you the option to “Save as copy…”
• When moving icons, the iPhone vibrates
• Updated AT&T profile to 4.2 (MMS is now enabled)
• Updated modem firmware to 5.08.01
• Improvements to OpenGL and Quartz.
• APIs to allow third party apps to access videos and edit them.

It will be nice to see if MMS is really enabled for AT&T customers. Now, will tethering make it into the release as well?
