http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/15624/upgrade-personal-iphone-to-ios-beta-5-0

The way the question reads to me is a similar situation as I spoke about on the show. We had a paid account that enabled me to get at the iOS 4 betas, but I am not an ObjC developer. Though my coworkers of course are.

Having said all that, your comments regarding the inability to target iOS SDKs lower than 5 is very true. But, again, due to it’s development nature, also, Apple mandates that you CAN NOT submit apps to the App Store targeted for iOS 5.

You still need a separate device to do all your active, production, stable, iOS development/deployments.

he mentioned he is a developer and uses the phone for development and as his main phone.

Your answer didn’t focus much in the development usage of the phone.

once you update the phone to iOS5 beta, you need to update to XCode 4.2 beta on any macs you use for development

that means you are unable to compile and ship your developed apps in an production development environment. In my case I was unable to target iOS 4.x SDK when compiling with xcode 4.2 beta, and even if there is a way to do it, I would not consider it reliable for shipping binaries to the app store.
