The second beta version of iPhone OS 3.1 gives hope to sync via Wi-Fi

The second beta version of the iPhone operating system OS 3.1 is now available to developers, with some advantages over the previous version. About it says Jacky Cheung (Jacqui Cheng), editor of Ars Technica. Moreover, registered Apple developers will now be able to establish a connection between your PC and iPhone via a wireless Wi-Fi connection, without having to connect through a USB-port. Another plus - even through a wireless connection available to developers all the features they need in the program Instruments that when connecting to a computer via USB-cable. By the way, this functionality gives a ghostly hope that with the new firmware, users will be able to sync your iPhone with your PC wirelessly.

Developers are confident that this feature is very useful for their work, because the USB-port may be needed for other purposes than to connect your smartphone or iPod to your computer. However, they warned Apple representatives, Wi-Fi-connection, despite its ease of operation, is slower than the connection via USB. In addition, there is a risk that the iPhone or iPod battery will not sustain a long work with the included Wi-Fi. Another disadvantage - by Wi-Fi, developers will not be able to install applications from the integrated development environment Xcode development, as well as can not troubleshoot applications.

Among other features of the second beta version of iPhone OS 3.1 is worth noting the elimination of errors in Xcode and the number of the original device applications.
