Apple Thoughts - News & Reviews on all things Apple

"After Apple formally announces a new version of iPhone OS and gotten it into the hands of developers, they tend to follow up with minor releases every 2 weeks or so. With iPhone OS 4 having been announced 12 days ago, it seemed like a new Beta couldn't be far off - and sure enough, iPhone OS 4 Beta 2 just shipped."

From the article a few new things such as "EventKit, an API which lets applications plug events into your Calendars (like Facebook automatically throwing in all of your friend's birthdays), and Quick Look, which seems to provide apps with a means to allow for users to preview certain file types (iWork, Office docs, RTF, PDF, images, and CSV files) without launching into another app. The latter has to be plugged into apps manually, so don't expect it to work universally right off the bat." If all holds true to form another one should be out in a few weeks.

"iLounge is headed to Cupertino, California to provide live coverage of Apple's iPhone OS 4 event. The event will be held at Apple's campus within its Town Hall presentation room, and will begin at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time, or 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time."

iLounge isn't the only one going either. Several blogs and news sites will be there so you have a choice in how you get your coverage. Here are a few of them to check out for the coverage today:

• iLounge
• cnet
• Smoking Apples
• Ars Technica
• Macworld and
• The Mac Observer.

It will be interesting to see just what Apple is coming up with so pick a site and watch the show. We shall see if encece is right about his predictions!
