It seems there’s a glitch with Apple’s new iPhone 4.0 OS beta.
Several developers are having trouble installing the iPhone 4.0 beta on the 3G iPod touch, according to a tip from an iPhone developer.
The developer says there are several posts on Apple’s Developer Forums complaining that the new operating system will not run on third-generation iPod touches. It appears the problem is limited to 32GB models, the developer says.
After loading the OS, programmers are getting the following error message: “The iPod could not be restored. This device isn’t eligible for the requested build.”
The error message is displayed after developers restore the device to firmware bundle 4.0 and try to verify it with Apple.
“It is very odd,” said the developer.
