Testing an application built with iphone's sdk 3.0. Based on experience, I know that bugs will manifest on hardware that will never appear in the simulator, so the simulator will only take me so far. Is it possible to put the 3.0 beta firmware (not sdk) on a hardware device, and if so where can I find the beta firmware? Or do I have to wait until mid-June for the release?

A: 

You can download it on your Apple Developer page.

...if you've paid the $99 to join the developer programme.

If you didn't, then you aren't allowed to use the beta OS anyway

Is called 'NDA'

If he's already developing with the iPhone 3 SDK, I assume he also has access to the beta firmware as well. And discussing the mere fact that people in the paid developer program can download these betas is probably not a violation of the NDA.
