Apple recently released iPhone OS 3.1 beta 2 and iPhone OS 3.1 SDK beta 2 to developers. According to developers who've downloaded the software, new features include a new triple-tap feature for the home button that will launch the Voice Over application, or change the phone's theme from white to black. The Voice Over application now also has a practice mode to help users learn to control it. Last, developers can now control the iPhone over Wi-Fi rather than through a USB tether. Developers use these betas to make sure their applications are compatible with future releases of the iPhone OS.
