Over the weekend, AppleInsider reported that the beta iPhone 3.0 SDK includes a resource file that lists support for a new Broadcom chip in Apple's third-generation iPod Touch, making the improved wireless chip likely to be included in the next iPhone, too.
The Broadcom BCM4329 supports 802.11n wireless networking, unlike its predecessor, which was limited to 802.11a/b/g. As observed on 9 To 5 Mac, this chip also includes FM reception and transmission, in contrast to the previous model, which only allowed FM reception.
Austrian Apple blog Benm.at, meanwhile, claims that the beta version of the iPhone 3.0 software includes references to a video editing application.
If Apple is indeed planning to add a video-capable camera to its iPhone -- which it must if it wants to keep up with the capabilities of competing mobile phones -- then it would make sense to include an application to handle basic in-phone video editing.
Last month, Apple made the 3.0 beta version of its iPhone SDK and iPhone software available for registered developers to download.
The software provides several expected and desired functions, such as copy and paste, MMS, and push notifications. And the iPhone 3.0 beta SDK gives developers more than 1,000 new application programming interfaces to create new applications.
