iPhone developers deal with expired beta firmware
Developers accepted into Apple’s paid iPhone Developer Program are reporting that the expiration of the current beta firmware, which happened early this morning, is causing test units to lock up with a pink screen, which says “This device is expired. Please install a newer version of the OS.” According to TUAW, the affected units can be easily returned to working order by performing a restore with an earlier release of the iPhone or iPod touch software; Apple has yet to comment on the problem, or to release an updated version of the beta firmware.

There is a new build for the enterprise beta today I suspect a new dev build is out there or forthcoming.

I was just listening to my daily podcast and I got the pink screen and connect to iTunes logo. I was quite confused, but figured it had something to do with the beta OS. *sigh* the costs of being a developer. I had to listen to pandora instead which ironically means apple or amazon will benefit since I found more music to buy.
