New Beta of iPhone 2.1 Firmware with Push Notification Service. As a follow-up to the previous iPhone 2.1 Firmware beta + GPS features, Apple has released another 2.1 firmware release to developers (2nd beta), iPhone 2.1 SDK with Push Notification Service. The new version appears to include several bug fixes.
“This is the second beta of the iPhone SDK targeting iPhone OS 2.1, including bug fixes to iPhone OS as well as an early implementation of the Apple Push Notification Service API. This API is not yet integrated with a live push server.”
No word on the final version of iPhone 2.1 Firmware release date, but the included “Push Notification Service” was promised by September.

Opera Mobile 9.5 beta 1 - bug fixes for notification sounds. Opera has updated the beta 1 with a fix for the annoying bug that turned off the notification sounds. The notification bugfix was relatively trivial and had a low risk. If you have OOM (Out of Memory) problems on some devices, Opera suggests using WMExperts’ cache-file relocation workaround until an official bug-fix can be issued. You can grab it from here. By changing the location of the folder where Opera stores the cache-files, more memory is available for Opera. You can download Opera Mobile 9.5 beta 1 from here.

Palm Skywriter (Drucker) in beta? We’ve just heard Sprint Treo 800w Release Date and details, According to TamsPPC, Palm has opened up Windows Mobile development access to promotional materials for the Palm Zeppelin and Palm Skywriter. The codename “Zeppelin” is the internal codename for the Palm Treo 800w, so there’s nothing new there. But, the appearance of the Palm “Skywriter” is definitely a new development.
