Apple has seeded select iPhone developers with a new 2.2 beta of the iPhone firmware, according to MacRumors.
The new version is labeled iPhone OS 2.2 beta 1 and is accompanied by a new beta of the iPhone SDK (build 9M2611). Beyond "compatibility testing", there are no other differences noted by Apple. It's not clear yet if the new builds have any further implementation of background push notifications that have been promised by Apple.
