Today was a relatively big day for iPhone news. Let’s wrap-up today’s news:

• Apple released the eighth iPhone SDK beta today, providing a new, more stable release of iPhone 2.0 beta firmware. Alongside the release, Apple seeded iTunes 7.7 to developers in the iPhone Developer Program. According to developers, iTunes 7.7 shows Applications and related options in Sync. Also, MobileMe support offering a checkbox to use it has been added.



• After speculation on when Apple would release iPhone 2.0 firmware, a section added to the press release now states “iPhone 2.0 software will be available on July 11 as a free software update via iTunes 7.7 or later for all iPhone customers.” It may go Gold Master tomorrow, but the public is still getting it on the coveted iPhone 3G launch day.
• Apple started allowing developers to submit applications to the App Store as well today. In an email sent to developers, Apple writes “With this new version of iPhone OS you can conduct final testing and prepare your application for submission to the App Store.”
• iTunes 7.7 will apparently support a “new Remote application for iPhone or iPod touch” that will “control iTunes playback from anywhere in your home…” The aforementioned app will be a free download from the App Store.
