The new iPhone firmware, iPhone 4.0 Beta 3 is now out for developers and can be downloaded from either the Apple’s Developers webpage, or can be downloaded via some direct links from here.

So whats new in the third beta version of  iPhone 4.0 firmware? Lets take a quick look:

Taking Screenshots

Screenshot for iPhone  is quite useful, specially for bloggers like us who have to review certain apps. Surprisingly due to some reason, this feature was pulled off from the iPhone 4.0 beta 2 firmware. The good news is that its now back on iPhone 4.0 beta 3 and is working like a charm.

Screen Orientation Lock

Orientation lock has now also been introduced to iPhone. You can now lock your screen/device on a particular orientation and it would stick to it unless reset. So if you have got slippery hands which cause the iPhone to switch between portrait to landscape mode, this feature might be useful for you.

iPod Controls

Now you don’t have to exit any app to change the track on iPhone. iPod like controls are now available on homescreen’s tray which would allow you to change your track with ease.

Multi-tasking Tray

A new tray has been introduced which shows multiple applications that are running in background. You can easily view those applications there and remove/stop them if you want to.

File Sharing

A new previllage has been added to this firmware which allows you to move files from iTunes to iDevice for some specific apps when connected to iTunes. It would help you to share files, upload new ones etc.

Stay tuned to us for more updates regarding the iPhone 4.0 firmware. We’ll keep you posted with the latest news when its final version would be released in the market.
