Yesterday developers got access to the new iPhone OS 3.1 beta firmware. Today the previous beta firmware version expires, so it comes to no surprise Apple released the next version. Only developers with a payed developeraccount can download the new firmware. With this the official release date comes closer. The worldwide release of iPhone OS 3.1 is rumored to take place in September, the same month Apple will probably introduce new iPods and a much rumored Mac Tablet.
