MacRumors reports that Apple has seeded iPhone firmware version 2.1 Beta 4 to developers. Oddly, in this new software removes the push notification API we heard about earlier that they recently added to the 2.1 Beta 1 developer release. Apple notes that it was pulled "for further development". In case you forgot, the push notification API is what will allow developers to code their apps to include the push notifications they announced at the last keynote. It's a little unusual that they would simply remove it altogether like this, but they would know better than us, of course.

I think that this is because apple wants to get the software out before semtember. At least that's what I hope

I would assume they are trying to iron out all the glitches with the AppStore apps and MobileMe push services before trying to combine the two together. That just makes sense to me.

I wish apple would...

just release the 2.0.1 to users already, hoping for more stability.

Just a thought, you think that 2.1 will be released the same day that the new rumored iPod touches debut (Sept.9)? And that the touches will come preloaded with 2.1?
