Apple has concluded testing of Push Notification service on iPhone OS 3.0 beta.
Apple began testing of high volume Push Notifications during mid-April using a special version of AP Mobile's iPhone app distributed to developers testing beta versions of the iPhone OS 3.0.
As seen in the screenshot below, developers testing the Push-Notification features received a popup informing them that the testing has concluded and thanking them for their help.
The news comes close on the heels of iTunes 8.2 release earlier in the week which added support for iPhone OS 3.0. It's an indication that Apple is close to completing the testing and development of its latest iPhone OS.
If you remember, last year Apple had launched iPhone 3G, iPhone OS 2.0, App Store and MobileMe service on the same day. But things didn't go as planned, and they ran into issues with iTunes Activation and MobileMe service. At that time Apple had admitted that the launch of MobileMe should have been deferred.
So there are chances that Apple might release iPhone OS 3.0 next week during WWDC so that it can iron out all the issues before they release the much awaited next generation iPhone, sometime in July.
Do you think that Apple will release iPhone OS 3.0 at the WWDC? Let me know what your thoughts in the comment section below!

Yes Finally next week the the 3.0 firmware is releasing and I think they will release it the day before he WWDC
and will steve jobs be there for a keynote,i think he will.
We are just speculating that it's possible.
Apple has already announced that Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, will be delivering the keynote.
Though it will be great to see Steve Jobs back in action and possibility announce the third-generation iPhone.
I hope so. I'm sick of using the beta 3.0 firmware.
that would be sweet… now to wait for unlock lol!
HAHA!!! That's gonna be SOOO FRIGGIN SWEET!!!
I can't wait for 3.0 , i'm just thinkin that Apple's gonna release the firmware, dev team will release an unlock / jailbreak for it… and then 3 weeks in, they'll activate a daemon program in every 3.0 phone, that'll wipe out EVERY pwnd phone!!!
Just a heads up! (June 29th is the daemon activation)

I hope its released and rumor is Steve is back at apple so he could be at wwdc to announce new iPhone especially after palms attempt to steal apples thunder
It doesn't matter when they release it…. The main question is, with the Dev team be able to jailbreak and unlock iPhone OS 3.0? That's the key point to everyone who has a jailbroken and unlocked iPhone.
i heard that the unlock for OS 3.0 is ready but awaits the relsease of iphone OS 3.0…well i just hope its ture!! cuz am stuck on baseband 2.30.03 bootloader 5.09
Apple may restrict the upgrade to 3.0 os only through the newly realesed itunes 8.2 and if that is the case we all have to wait some more time coz 8.2 can stop us from jailbreaking the iphone, lets hope fo the best.
