For our beta tests, we’ll be sending software out via email for people to load onto their iPhones and iPod touches by dragging it into iTunes. To be able to do that, we need to have the beta testers’ UDID, or device IDs.

To start using the beta on your iPhone or iPod touch, you’ll need to email beta@magellanmedia.com with your device ID. Here are a couple of ways to do that:

The easy way
Install the free Ad Hoc Helper from the iTunes Application Store (iTunes link). It instantly generates an email with your UDID in it.

The longer way

1. Connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your computer and open iTunes.
2. On the iTunes “Summary” page for your device, click on the words “Serial Number.” It will change to “Identifier.”
3. Go to the “Edit” menu and select “Copy.” Now you can paste the UDID into an email
