Apple released the first Beta after iPhone OS 2.1 surprise release. As usual, we don’t have any additional information about when the push services will be made available for developers. As of now, the release note mentions that this release covers the compatibility (iPhone OS 2.1 ?) and bug fixes. I haven’t played it yet with the new SDK and hoping to see the things soon.
Version History:
Due to NDA, I cannot publish other things like README or Release Notes. Hope to see good things with this release and resolve lots of other issues with previous versions. Cut/Copy/Paste will be nice too !!!

I decided to find a better way to get some money out of my 1.5 yrs efforts behind Apple’s iPhone. I tried simple apps and asked for a buck! People didn’t like it and few went too far. Then i made most of them in a lite version. Then I see a sudden change in Downloads. I realized one thing that, it’s all behind the value users expect out of $1.
I started thinking at AdMob to get implemented in my iPhone applications. I read a lot about it in the Web. It’s still early. There are few things which will discourage you to use it. One of the blogs which is very valuable on that topic is http://www.doipod.com/ipod/2008/08/admob-still-not.html. But I wanted to give a shot anyway.
I added the advertisement and posted it for Apple’s approval. Eventually, it will take another few more weeks to get it published and see the response. I will keep it posted here. But I am thinking that if this works (as it says), I may get some revenue coming back with the effort. Worst case i will get $1 a day which is another $300 overall !!!
Look at AdMob at http://www.admob.com/.
